Ron is still digging out from the Deluge. He’s given his friends, family, and intertube friends like me daily updates. Fear not, I will do a 24 update, prolly tomorrow. Until then, here’s a parody Ron wrote using the song Willie and the Hand Jive by Johnny Otis, which was also covered by Eric Clapton. Here’s Otis.
Barry and the Law Jive
We know a fraud named Race-Card Barry
Got a sour little pal named Dirty Harry
He can lie and spin and dazzle you
And do that fancy law jive, tooPeople, People, look Uncle Joe
Doin’ the law jive with sister MO
Eric gave po-lice a special pass
Sayin’ laws we scorn can kiss my assLaw jive, law jive, law jive
Doin that sleazy law jiveWheeler and a dealer and a big tax cheat
Now they all dig that slick deceit
Race-Card Barry gave ‘em all a treat
When he did that law jive on Wall StreetLaw jive, law jive, law jive
Doin that smirkin law jiveBarry and Harry wanna win this fall
They wanna keep the Senate and that ain’t all
It’s “take the House” and “tax the rich”
And two more years of bait and switchThen one more “first” for Democrats
They’ll spread those Clinton welcome mats
No matter that she didn’t know
And talks just like a worn-out proLaw jive, law jive, law jive
Doin that wretched law jive
Dammit, you guys, now I’ll have that runnin’ through my head the rest of the day.
