Lyrics

I'm sorry to clog the intertubes and displace such fine, fine fellow jinglers' work - but I just had to get in the Neil Diamond business. Apparently nobody pays retail anymore, so I could hardly resist. My parody of "Longfellow Serenade"

McManus Serenade, sung in the voice you hate
As much as a case of transient amnesia, or flying with TK!!

We know that you had once been an editor of words
Tending ambiguously gendered birds
And you love Tony
And so does Tonyyyyy!!

Swim, c’mon Jeanie, swim
Got to keep your self in shape.
Let’s hear you laugh, no one hears you laugh.
Tell me does that help you paint?

Your presence on the podcast gives us all we want.
I’m sure you’ve got some ideas for a restaurant.
Though it’s not your cup of tea I hope you didn’t hate
This stinking version of my McManus Serenade.
