Lyrics

Hard for a Little to admit but I'm not such a fan of Billy Joel. I kinda liked this album as a teenager, though
-----
Well we all know the host
Who goes on and on forever
And he begs for everything from hats
To vintage candy bars

His requests are quite direct
If occasionally clever
He’s an unrepentant schnorer
Though he drives expensive cars

First there was Johnny Walker Blue
Kind bars, egg noodles
Then a new track suit

The latest tribute he awaits
Quarts of ice cream from
South Dakota State

Well, it’s rather unrefined
And it fills Liz Clarke with horror
That a man in his position
Still thinks everything’s a get

Even Wilbon is surprised
That his co-host’s such a schnorer
And you wonder why the Post
Won’t let him write a columnette

Parody of Billy Joel's "The Stranger"

    Re-mixed. No more nasty background echo. Plenty of obnoxious Lawn Gisland pronunciation left.

    Nicely done, Professor. More Billy Joel, alright! After we do this whole album, let's go for "Fantasies and Delusions"
