Lyrics

Long Island boy just like his father said
He grew up smart except for drivers ed
At Camp Keeyumah he would try to swim
But swimming’s not for everyone he found out before Washington
Went off to school At Harper way upstate
Hung out with nerds the snack bar wasn’t great.
A job at Newsday first and then the Times
Sportswriting life had just begun and then he came to Washington
Radio was what he did best
With Andy Polley and the rest
First for the Post then ESPN
They made him take a vacation
Old Guy then a news update
The mailbag, we can hardly wait
Cillizza’s on, he’s such a bore
What do we keep on list’ning for?
Wrote for the Post Bandwagon columnettes
He met Wilbon, and then tried TV next
He left the paper then, thanks to Raju
But TV paid a tidy sum, and so he stayed in Washington
Littles listen many ways
On raido and Inter-waves
They suffered through delayed podcasts
’Til the weasels got up off their ass
David, Gary, Liz and Jeanne
Discussing all the local teams
Now Tony’s talking ‘bout the grocery store
What do we keep on list’ning for?
So my child and I came to this place
To meet him eye to eye and face to face
Ask my kid anything, he’s really smart
Thanks for sharing so much fun, our radio friends in Washington
