"This Just In"

Lyrics:

This just in…
A recruiter came to me,
said, “Put down that guitar boy,
be all you can be.
Uncle Sam will whip you into shape,
put you up, and feed ya.”
I said, “Well ain’t that like an uncle,
Only callin when he needs ya.”


This just in…
Got hit by the flu,
this years version, paranoia 3.2.
Went to the doctor,
said, doc do something quick.”
He said. “My professional opinion is…
you’re too poor to get sick.”


This just in…
Got hit by a hurricane.
Can’t blame God for sendin all that rain,
cuz I was drownin in New Orleans
when a flat screen TV came floatin by.
The National Guard came in and shot me
to make sure that all the TVs were alright.


Ohhhhhhhhhh... yeah, this just in…
Georgie’s at it again.
He’s playin Texas Hold Em
in the holiest of lands.
He’s got 3 of a kind
and he ain’t gonna fold…
not with the king of kings, the king of beers,
and the king of rock and roll.


Ohhhhhhh, this just in…
We’re goin to the moon,
with a shuttle fulla signs that say
‘Starbucks Comin Soon!’
It’s a rest stop now,
for the mission to mars.
Yeahhh, Halliburton’s up there now,
putting in the churches and bars.

2. Great lyrics; I can see why you thought "Dylan" as soon as I started

reading them.

I love your quote from Molly in your sig line :-)

3. Thanks grannylib!

:hug:

Yeah, Molly was the bomb! She showed us HOW it's done. A sense of humor is sometimes the only thing that can see us through the harshest of times ... and, serious business doesn't mean we should take ourselves too seriously.
