The Lyrics
Written by request for 40th surprise birthday party of Ron Hasse, Los Angeles Times Director of Sales & Marketing, based on information provided, & sung by all attendees.
He left the Midwest town of Chicago
to find the Valley of- San Fernando.
WHY CAN'T WE- BE RON? WHY CAN'T WE- BE RON?
WHY CAN'T WE- BE RON? WHY CAN'T WE- BE RON?
He found himself three lovely kids and a wife.
Starts selling papers, saying, "This is the life!"
CHORUS
He worked his way up through the Daily- News.
Up near the top, he wasn't singing no blues.
CHORUS
Jack Klunder says, "Hey, Ron, The LA- Times
could use a man with your ambition and drive".
CHORUS
Now at The Times, he's known as "Big Boss- Mon".
I wonder where he stole the talent all from.
CHORUS
Ron's kind of shy, not one for putting on airs.
Just don't go dissin' his Chicago- Bears.
CHORUS
to find the Valley of- San Fernando.
WHY CAN'T WE- BE RON? WHY CAN'T WE- BE RON?
WHY CAN'T WE- BE RON? WHY CAN'T WE- BE RON?
He found himself three lovely kids and a wife.
Starts selling papers, saying, "This is the life!"
CHORUS
He worked his way up through the Daily- News.
Up near the top, he wasn't singing no blues.
CHORUS
Jack Klunder says, "Hey, Ron, The LA- Times
could use a man with your ambition and drive".
CHORUS
Now at The Times, he's known as "Big Boss- Mon".
I wonder where he stole the talent all from.
CHORUS
Ron's kind of shy, not one for putting on airs.
Just don't go dissin' his Chicago- Bears.
CHORUS
