Thread Name: Lyr Req: 16 Words (parody '16 Tons', Thom Bresh)
Subject: RE: Political Parody: 16 Words - Thom Bresh
Here's the chorus:
They Say 16 Words and What Do You Get? They Promise You A Bushel and Deliver A Peck.. Madame Cleo Won't You Tell Me Which Way To Go Gotta Cast My Vote In 2004..
This Political Satire, based on the song "Sixteen Tons" written by Thom Bresh's father Merle Travis, is meant to give a few chuckles during this election year in a far too somber world.
