"Everybody Loves Me, Baby!" (dial-up warning)

[Heidi]

One, two, three, four!




Fortune has me well in hand, armies 'wait my command




My gold lies in a foreign land buried deep beneath the sand



The angels guide my ev'ry prayer,




my enemies are sick or dead
But all the victories I've led haven't brought you to my bed





You see, everybody loves me, baby, what's the matter with you?





Won'tcha tell me what did I do to offend you?




Now the purest race I've bred to be to live in my democracy




And the highest human pedigree awaits the first-born boy baby




And my face on ev'ry coin engraved, the anarchists are all enslaved




My own flag is forever waved by the grateful people I have saved




You see, everybody loves me, baby, what's the matter with you?





Won'tcha tell me what did I do to offend you?




Now, no man is beyond my claim when land is seized in the people's name





By evil men who rob and maim, if war is hell, I'm not to blame!




Why, you can't blame me, I'm Heaven's child, I'm the second son of Mary mild
And I'm twice removed from Oscar Wilde, but he didn't mind, why, he just smiled




Yes, and the ocean parts when I walk through, and the clouds dissolve and the sky turns blue




I'm held in very great value by everyone I meet but you




'cause I've used my talents as I could, I've done some bad, I've done some good




I did a whole lot better than they thought I would so, c'mon and treat me like you should!




Because everybody loves me, baby, what's the matter with you?





Won'tcha tell me what did I do to offend you?




Everybody loves me, baby, what's the matter with you?




Won'tcha tell me what did I do to offend you?




Yeah, everybody loves me, baby, what's the matter with you?




Won'tcha tell me what did I do to offend you?

13. OMG. Why couldn't they see?

I was in such good spirits until a few minutes ago. I'll say you did a hell of a good thing with this post.

I don't know if I should be posting this here. I just don't know if it deserves it's own thread.


But I was sitting here when suddenly I realized what I was hearing on the radio. And it spooked me to my core-

Randy Newman

Louisiana

What has happened down here is the winds have changed
Clouds roll in from the north and it started to rain
Rained real hard and it rained for a real long time
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangeline

The river rose all day
The river rose all night
Some people got lost in the flood
Some people got away alright
The river have busted through clear down to Plaquemines
Six feet of water in the streets of Evangelne

Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tyrin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away
Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tryin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away

President Coolidge came down in a railroad train
With a little fat man with a note-pad in his hand
The President say, "Little fat man isn't it a shame what the river has done
To this poor crackers land."

Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tryin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away
Louisiana, Louisiana
They're tryin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away
They're tryin' to wash us away
