The Lyrics

It really wasn't my intention to do a whole series about Occupy Wall Street to selections from Oklahoma. In my defense, I KNOW Oklahoma a lot better than Rent, Wicked, or the collected works of Lady Gaga. Maybe there will be more (The Left Wing And The Right Wing Should Be Friends? We Can't Say No? People Will Say We're On Drugs? Poor Hope Is Dead? Out Of The Street And Into Your Homes?). Feel free to run with any of these titles and I hope my message will be "Rodgered and Hammered-home". ;D

I got to New York City on a Sunday.
By Monday I was camping in the park.
I'm screaming and protesting on each fun day.
I've joined the "Ninety-Niners". What a lark!
We're causing lots of hassle for all the evil rich,
And we've made the streets an awful mess.
But we don't give a damn and we don't care a stitch,
For we're all now the darlings of the press.

Want what?? Who knows!! But we...want it all NOW!!!

Oh what a time! We're occupying Wall Street!
We're here to put an end to business greed.
Our goals are ill-defined, chaotic, nebulous, and yet
We've mobs and slogans - that's all we ever need.
Stop all their crime! We're occupyong Wall Street!
We'll stick it to The Man and make them bleed.
We're answering Obama's constant call for class warfare.
We'll take all private property and cut ourselves a share.
And we've got more drugs and people here than at Stewart-Colbert!
We're staying here and we're not gonna go! No way!
Just watch us on each nightly cable show.

Corporate slime! We're occupying Wall Street!
Come join us and decry all that's not fair.
The President and press compare us to the Arab Spring
And martyrs who were at Tiananmen Square! Rah!
Unions and radicals make our march so sweet.
The Communists? Hail Lenin, yes, they're there.
The Tea Party can't match the mighty forces that we bring.
We'll remake this society with one great leveling.
Hear President Obama link our gangs with Dr. King!
We are the only people in the know! Right On!
Get ready 'cause we're gonna run the show!

If an actual performance is contemplated, I wish to audition for the role of the peddler Ali Hakem. Eddie Albert played the part in the movie and I see myself in almost all of his roles. ;D

Spelling error in Line 14.

Darn, OMR caught the spelling error before I did! It's like the deliberate weaving mistake in a Persian (Iranian?) rug, hard to find in a work of art. Unfortunately, the protesters haven't "gone as far as they can go" yet.

OMR, nice-555!!! I haven't got around to the occupy ---- (fill in the blank). Here in Sacramento we have nightly gatherings too but nothing spectacular. Maybe I'll get ot OWS or not... Oh and the error is V2L5- Verse 2, Line 5. You know us Germans, have to process data properly!!!

Rob - If you're in Sacramento, you might want to contact JAB in the 'Frisco area. Never were there two more prolific parodists in history! ;D
