Lyrics

I'm not thrilled with this but I'm posting it anyway because I stayed up until 2:30 am to finish it. That might not be the best reason, but whatever...


MET WITH THE MANAGER AT SUNTRUST BANK
HAD TO WITHDRAW SOME CASH FOR FOOD
I CARRY PAPER MONEY EVERYWHERE
LIKE IT WAS 1982

I TOLD WILLIAM ABOUT THE RADIO STATION
AND HOW I’M PODCASTING INSTEAD
AND HOW DESPERATE I AM TO MAKE SURE THAT
I CAN GET MY BEAK WET

I ASKED HIM IF HE’D HEARD OF HARRY’S RAZORS
TOLD HIM THAT THEY’RE GERMAN DESIGNED
THEY WORK MUCH BETTER SINCE THEY SWITCHED FROM
USING
THE NORTH KOREAN KIND

HE ASKED ME HOW HE COULD ACCESS MY PODCAST
I TOLD HIM @THISSHOWSTINKS
HE JUST STARED AT ME, PERPLEXEDLY
WHAT EXACTLY DOES THAT MEAN?

WE GRABBED A HOLD OF HIS NEW IPHONE
WE GOT INTO THE CLOUD
WE CLUMSILY TRIED TO LOCATE THE SHOW
BUT NEITHER ONE KNEW HOW

    I just wasn't happy with it so I didn't send it in. The idea of it was better in my head than it ended up being "on wax," as the kids say.

    This story made me laugh - and so does the recreation here. The thought of Tony telling people about the stuff advertised on the show as a normal part of a conversation is great. And of course this is the only way the story could end.
