The Lyrics

I recently returned from the environs of a book signing by Senator Barbara Boxer, which attracted a phalanx of the types who’ve been disrupting town-hall meetings of late. I didn’t attend the signing, but I watched the festivities from my second-floor studio in the bookstore building where Boxer hawked her book. I’m no fan of Boxer, but most of the 50 or so protesters at this rally appeared to be even less worthy of respect than the senator. . .tiresome “tea party” types et al. As I stared out the window, some of them began chanting at me. The festive atmosphere and the noise precipitated a Mardi Gras flashback, and I found myself chanting, “Show your tits. . .” until one of my studio mates pulled me away from the window.
There was a yellin’ crew
At the police line.
It was, “Boxer, we’re sick of you!”
They were cryin’,
Loudly cryin’.

You know, they can’t stand her. . .
Were running her down.
I was just there standing
Up on the landing and gazing down
Onto the yellin’ crew
That, frankly, whined
And whined.

So the crew
Gave a boo;
It was to
You know who. They were loud,
Filling the air
Not with raillery,
Benighted, proud—
You heard ’em.

Tape had a yellow hue. . .
Kept ’em in line.
