Lyrics

Bill Lehecka, Mike in Burke, tell me how you get to work
"Sticker me," 412, Shad's haiku
Littles cover Gary's song, sponsored by diamonds
wedding invitations, what's your neighbor do?

Josh in Moselle, MS, I behooved a goddess,
Neil in Rockville, Hitler stamps, paging Dr. Mike
Radio for old guys, Wilbon's not surprised
If you're out on your bike tonight, everybody do wear white!!!

Here comes Tony's mailbag
He got your e-mails, faxes and notes
Here comes Tony's mailbag
He's gonna read some for all you folks

Window Nation, Bagel City, Wendy Rieger is so pretty
sink holes, Caps choke, don't bet with Jeanne the Greek
Junior wants a little money, chimpanzees are baby monkeys
Kelleher's sneak peek: no guests on PTI this week!

Liz is down in Jungleland, Underarmour lapbands
Gary's in Kabukistan, Torie drives a bus
gephyrophobe, save-the-dates, Kevin S. prognosticates
Windhorst, Livingston, what'd you each for lunch?

Smith, Svrluga, Bob Ryan, David loves American
Do you know who I am? A real important bald man!
Weasels run Snyder's station, shovel-type situation
End the podcast delay! What else do I have to say!?

Here comes Tony's mailbag
He has supper at 5 and he's asleep by 8
Here comes Tony's mailbag
He'll be back again after Labor Day
Here comes Tony's mailbag
It's a local show with worldwide appeal
Here comes Tony's mailbag
Tony's awfully old but he keeps it real

A parody of Billy Joel, "We Didn't Start the Fire"

    This is, by far, my favorite. It set the standard so high I'm not sure it can ever be touched. I saved that podcast for over a month just so I could go back and listen to the song and everybody's reaction. Outstanding

    Congratulations, Jerry. I tried to write a parody of this one once. It was really, really hard. I am impressed.

  • Jerry in Annandale, VA
    Thanks, guys, I put a lot of time into this one and was so humbled that it made it on air in its entirety. When I sat down to write this "extended" version, I almost started from from scratch. All the stuff about the Littles is crammed in the front (because that was the genesis of this parody in the first place) and it felt lopsided because the rest of the song is more about TK's friends and the show in general. I ultimately kept the the original structure, though, to retain the illusion that I'd had some great plan for the lyrics that came after "Wendy Rieger is so pretty." Actually, I just faded out because it seemed like the runtime was getting too high to make it on air. I had reams of notes, but nothing near the quality of what was ultimately recorded. And I drove Michelle crazy for about a week whittling this down to what you're listening to today. "What's funnier, Michelle, Gary's in Kabukistan or Anne spends her Mays in Cannes?"

  • Chip Hughes
    My ALL TIME favorite! To me, the mailbag is when the littles get their chance to fire back at TK and rub his nose in his erudite tendencies, with great love of course. And he, for the most part loves it just as much. So what better way to honor those that contribute so much to the show than with this great tribute to many of them. Thanks Jerry!
