THE ASCAP SONG
(J.O. Thereditor)

Who controls the music from "c-sharp" to shining "c"?
A-S-C-
A & P
A-S-C-A-P!
Who's got Woody Guthrie spinning in the cemet'ry?
A-S-C-
A & P
A-S-C-A-P!
Pay it up! (shout: "Pay it up!")
Pay it up! (shout: "Pay it up!")
Forever let 'em get a royalty! (shout: "Tee! Hee! Hee!")
They got all the lawyers 'cause they got the dough-re-mi.
A-S-C-
A & P
A-S-C-A-P!

So be sure to pay your dues, by Royalty Decree,
A-S-C- (etc.)
So They can send more lobbyists to Washington D.C.
A-S-C- (etc.)
As - Cap! (Duck solo: "BMI!")
As - Cap! (Duck solo: "BMI!")
You never get to sing without a fee! (big bass solo shout: "Fie! Foe! Fum!")
(slower:)
Now it's time to say goodbye to all our revelry.
(real slow:)
A - S - C - - -
(spoken solo:) "See you in court!"
A - and - P - - -
(spoken solo) "And please pay promptly"
(Full orcestration, five part harmony, and all kinds of things:)
A - - - S - - - C - - - A - - - P - - - !


note: ASCAP may never get over the bad press incurred when it tried to
collect royalties from the Girl Scouts. RG
