Lyrics

Show tune! It's worth remembering that Marlon Brando sang this in the 1955 movie, and that as a singer he made an excellent Colonel Kurtz. We can't all be the Chairman of the Board.


They call you bald and orange
And worse things, you can bet.
At times you'd like take that snow shovel and . . .
You can guess the rest
I might sound too sarcastic, I might seem like a dope
And so the best that I can do is hope

Satch read my email today
I'll keep it short, that's ok
I know that folks have sent you Kind Bars, booze and haiku
Still, I've got something to say.

And if you ever read my email
That would be grand, Such thrilling news
The Littles would be green with envy at me
But still leave my wife quite confused

No need to drive over the bay,
Nigel can show you the way
We can't all write to you from Moselle, Mississippi
Satch read my email, Satch read my email,
Satch read my email ToDAY!!

[I have nothing but the highest respect and admiration for Josh Cromwell, lest there be any doubt]
