How about a change of pace as a refresher? According to my old notes: One of the most unusual songs that I collected in the gallows humor category has to be this song. It should be a great hit with the Sesame Street crowd, or should I say precocious children of all ages. This remarkable ditty was drafted by two Legal Services attorneys, Peter McFee and Pat McIntyre, from the great Pacific Northwest; they were on break of course while they were composing. LET'S GO KILL THE LANDLORD (By Peter McKee & Pat MacIntyre, Seattle, WA Songs of the Tenants Movement © 1981 Fuse Music & CHRF) Let's go kill the landlord, The cops won't have a clue; You and me and Skipper, That's what we got to do; We'll stalk him like a tiger, Stick him with our spears, And if he cries or makes a sound We'll hang him by his ears. Let's go kill the landlord, No one really cares; Grab him by his longjohns And bounce him down the stairs; Gag him with some Twinkies, Send a ransom note, We'll tie him like Houdini And see how long he floats. Let's go kill the landlord, Today is the perfect day; There's nothing on but re-runs And the folks are all away; If they ask where he's gone to Just shrug and say "Who knows?" But check the trash compactor, You might find a couple toes. ;)
