Lyrics

John Fitzpatrick dared me to do a Marvin Gaye tune about Wilbon, and then inspired the theme of his sartorial exuberance. A coupla Minnesotans (The Twins? Nah) helped me out with a suggestion or two.
----------
Ooh, I bet you're wondering how he knows
Where to shop for all his clothes.
Always threat'nin’ to punch out some dudes
Between the two of us guys he's wearing Prada shoes.
He’s surely not surprised when he wears
A matching tie and a pocket-square

I believe that
He heard from Charles Barkley
With his striking haberdashery
Oh, he heard from Charles Barkley
And he watched him on TNT

Tony, Tony, yeah

Heard from Charles Barkley
And he watched him on TNT, Tony ooohoooohoooh
