Lyrics

"I never get my notes on air", she said to me
The answer is easy if you take it logically
I'd like to help you in your quest for mail glory
There must be fifty ways to get on mailbag

She said I've tried so hard to think of something good
To make the gang all laugh the way that mailbag should
I'll try to fill you in, so it is understood
There must be fifty ways to get on mailbag
Fifty ways to get on mailbag

You just tell us your lunch munch
How you got in to work jerk
Talk of monkeys please
Tell Mister Tony
What the D.C. buzz was
Or what your neighbor does
Send things for the swag bag
He loves stuff that's free

Ooo send a haiku you
Say you're a bald man fan
Trash the podcast delay babe
Tell Mister Tony
Don't be too bland and
Come from a foreign land
Send Johnnie Walker Blue too
I bet Nigel picks you...

    I learned long ago not to have any expectations. Some of my best stuff has never aired. When it airs, I'm happy, otherwise I just enjoy sharing it on this website

    My second fave of Byron's compositions. Still ranking "THE WRECK" a bit higher, but shocked this hasn't been aired. Seriously thought we'd be 4 for 4...!
