The Lyrics
Don't know the OS? Hang Down Your Head Tom Dooley MIDI here ~ Come on, everyone, sing along with Mark!
~
Hang down your head, Mark—Fo-ley
'Wang Clown', go zip your fly
Press makin' Guaca—Fo-ley
For 'beeping' pager guys!
Bangin' out Congress—e-mails
All in-you-end-o rife
Nary one sent to—fe-males
Kind'a like Barney Fife*!
'Wang Hound', drawers shed, Mark—Fo-ley
Don't think you'll catch a bye
Speaker of House says—Slowly
He's gonna let you fry!
~ bridge (sung by Foley) ~
~
This time next ses-sion
Reckon I'll be gone
Flor-i-da's dis-owned me
And my "man-date's" been with-drawn!
~
'Wang Hound', drawers shed, Mark—Fo-ley
Too long turned a blind eye
You were the Right's star—goalie
Now pages walk right by!
~ bridge (sung by Foley) ~
~
Hun-gered for power
Thinkin' I was sly
Every lunch I ordered
Two six-inch Po' Boys on rye!
~
Hang down your head, Mark—Fo-ley
Not "head down and hang with fly"
Git back to Brokeback—Fo-ley
No tears, he left 'bone dry'!
Hang down your head, Mark—Fo-ley
Not "head down and hang with fly"
Ca-reer has ended—'ho-ley'
No tears, he left 'bone dry'!
No tears, he left 'bone dry'
No tears, he left 'bone dry'
No tears, he left 'bone dry'...
~

LOL this is great! 555!
Thanks, Jack! I enjoyed yours today, too. Sorry about the link... it appears they don't allow outside calls to their MIDI files...
I didnt need it, I know just about every song form the 50s on depsite being 17
This time next winter, reckon where you'll be? Keeping writing stuff this good, we'll vote you to D.C.!
SOTM material here. Too many great lines to mention all of them, but I really liked "Wang hound...". Marvelous word play
Thanks Michael... appreciate the sentiment, but don't think I'd fare well in that snake pit! ~ PMS- very nice of you to say (and secretly hoping you're acronym doesn't stand for Sophomoric Opus That's Moronic)!
Great stuff, TJC, especially "man-dates" and "six-inch Po' Boys".
wang clown...lol...5s
This was very good. But I think Hastert should go down (no pun intended) with him.
