This actually started a couple of months ago in my fevered Black Irish mind. At the time, I was writing yet another of my seeming endless sarcastic, caustic articles about His Lowness, and just by happenstance, I took the title of a rather famous song.
To be perfectly honest, that title tickled me pink. I laughed my ass off when I wrote it, and it has been a source of occasional amusement for me ever since. But in the increasingly placid days following the calling of the election, with so much of the pressure off, and no longer having to write with the desperation borne of the times we live in, it has stuck with me. And just idly, over time, I have been trying to fill in some lines, and actually create an entire parody just from the title. And I think I've done it. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, when you read what's below, read it to the music of Sir Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I've enjoyed putting it togethe
Goodbye Yellow Slick Toad
When are you going to leave? When are you going to scram
We made our feelings clear in November, it's time to go on the lam
You know you can't con us forever, we finally closed down your game
There isn't much left for you to do here, just slink off and learn to live with the SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME! Shaaaaaaame, shAAAAAaaaaaaammmmmeeeee
So, goodbye yellow slick toad. With your half assed family group
You can't kid us any longer, we finally dug up the poop
Time to bail out of town now gang, hauling your criminal load
We finally elected a President, and not a Yellow Slick TOOOOOOAAAAAAD...Tooooaaaaad...Toooooaaaadddd
What do you think you'll try next? Will you run for office again
You'll have to find a new news network, with anchors without a brain
Maybe you'll call old Mark Burnett. A reality show you can nail
I'm thinking of something like Yellow's the new orange, they'll film it in the county JAAAAAIIIIIILLLLLL...Jaaaaiiiiilllllll.Jaaaaaiiiiillllllllll.
So Goodbye Yellow Slick Toad, with your half assed family group
You can't kid us any longer, we finally dug up the poop
Time to bail out of town now gang, hauling your criminal load
We finally elected a President, and not a Yellow Slick TOOOOOOAAAAADDDDDD...Tooooaaaadddddd./Toooooaaaaaaddddd
