The Lyrics
Had to add a postscript to this parody I wrote a while ago. Unfortunately, no similar postscript to add to my O’Reilly piece.
This Olb Mann, he brays much
He brays “Tsk, tsk!” “Shame!” and such
He’s a shtik hack panderwack
Gives a long-wind drone
This Olb Mann will scold and moan
This Olb Mann, he brays too
Long, and decibels accrue
He’s a big-yap bombast-yak
Got a megaphone
This Olb Mann will scold and groan
This Olb Mann, he brays: we
Should watch MSNBC
He’s a slick hack panderwack
Gives a long-wind moan
This Olb Mann will drone and drone
This Olb Mann, he brays more
Loudly than an unpaid whore
Who will dick-whack gland-a-slap
Give a box that bone
This Olb Mann won’t drone-atone
This Olb Mann, he brays jive
Then repeats after he’s live
Hair is slicked back as if waxed
Fixed with lotta pom[ad]e
This Olb Mann has a topped dome
This Olb Mann, he brays shtiks
You can tell he gets his kicks
As he lip-smacks nasty cracks
Though he’s not alone
Other men likewise intone
This Olb Mann, he brays endless—
So it seems ’cause he’s relentless
With his slick-chat yakky-yak
Gives a long-wind drone
This Olb Mann scolds like a crone
This Olb Mann, his bray grates
On your ears, he prates and prates
With his dingbat yakky-yak
And cranky cornpone
This Olb Mann yells—eardrums blown
This Olb Mann, he may whine
And views sound adaManntine
But it’s gimcrack pat attack
And in it he’ll phone
This Olb Mann’s a Limbaugh clone
This Olb Mann, he brays when
He is on the air again
It’s a drink that I will have
Down a case of Rhône
Shit, Olb Mann, leave me alone!
EPILOG:
This Olb Mann, he ain’t a-gettin’
More time on the air for frettin’
He got kicked, sacked, packed his cant
Can no more intone
This Olb Mann is going home
He brays “Tsk, tsk!” “Shame!” and such
He’s a shtik hack panderwack
Gives a long-wind drone
This Olb Mann will scold and moan
This Olb Mann, he brays too
Long, and decibels accrue
He’s a big-yap bombast-yak
Got a megaphone
This Olb Mann will scold and groan
This Olb Mann, he brays: we
Should watch MSNBC
He’s a slick hack panderwack
Gives a long-wind moan
This Olb Mann will drone and drone
This Olb Mann, he brays more
Loudly than an unpaid whore
Who will dick-whack gland-a-slap
Give a box that bone
This Olb Mann won’t drone-atone
This Olb Mann, he brays jive
Then repeats after he’s live
Hair is slicked back as if waxed
Fixed with lotta pom[ad]e
This Olb Mann has a topped dome
This Olb Mann, he brays shtiks
You can tell he gets his kicks
As he lip-smacks nasty cracks
Though he’s not alone
Other men likewise intone
This Olb Mann, he brays endless—
So it seems ’cause he’s relentless
With his slick-chat yakky-yak
Gives a long-wind drone
This Olb Mann scolds like a crone
This Olb Mann, his bray grates
On your ears, he prates and prates
With his dingbat yakky-yak
And cranky cornpone
This Olb Mann yells—eardrums blown
This Olb Mann, he may whine
And views sound adaManntine
But it’s gimcrack pat attack
And in it he’ll phone
This Olb Mann’s a Limbaugh clone
This Olb Mann, he brays when

Shit, Olb Mann, leave me alone!
EPILOG:
This Olb Mann, he ain’t a-gettin’

He got kicked, sacked, packed his cant
Can no more intone
This Olb Mann is going home

JAB - Dead on! Will Olbermann go to CNN or The Joy Behar Network? In a catch phrase which he coined while on ESPN..."And their not gonna get him!". ;D
THEY'RE! I'm a victim of "Hooked On Phonics!". ;D
Clever word construction. I'm learning a lot about this Olbermann guy from amiright, best news source since the Drudgereport.
This young child, he reads rhymes, then he gives them 5's three times! ;-D Like Patrick said, great work on the word construction! ;-) 555!
Captain Jack de Barryl, The ~Duke oBray und Neigh~ . . . just which oleMan do you refer to, sir ? . . . there are so many, Sir !
Wonderful precursor to your awaited number 3000...Incredible!!
Proof that there is something good to be found from nearly everything! Clever, entertaining, and over too soon (unlike KO...) :D
I wonder at your ability to make each verse fresh & lively--all without olberdoing it! Here's $555 in severance pay for ya!
