Hey Lapdog


To be sung to the tune of "Hey, Bulldog" and with apologies to Messers Lennon and McCartney.


Lapdog,

Better get out of the rain

Poop-log,

Tryin’ to get back in the game

Your Party’s Felonies are

measured out in miles

What makes you think you're

something special when you smile

Child-man

Jesus’ Special Friend

Jack (the) Knife

Thief with sweatin' hands

Your fed-time sentence will be

measured out in years

You don't know what it's like

to listen to your fears

You can talk to me

You can talk to me

You can talk to me

If you're lonely, you can talk to me**


Big man

(yeah) walking in the park

The New Abscam

Singin’ like a Lark

Some years in solitary
are waiting now for you

You think you know me,

but you haven't got a clue

You can talk to me
You can talk to me
You can talk to me
If you're lonely, you can talk to me

Hey –ey
Rowww,rrrowow

Hey, Lapdog (Hey Lapdog)
Woof

Hey, Lapdog
Hey, Lapdog
Hey, Lapdog

I've always thought that "Hey Bulldog" was perhaps the most underrated Beatles song. It rocks out as hard as anything they'd ever done, and its lyrics are right up there (in terms of poetic incomprehensibility) with "Strawberry Fields", "I am the Walrus", "Across the Universe" or "Come Together". In other words, Lennon's meds were well balanced that day.

Anyways, props to you for using it as the basis for your simple desultory phillipic.

Brilliance! The visual double hit of Abramoff (with the salad-toss pucker) floored me. And the words...the goddamned words...man!

You scare me. You inspire me.

Best,
