This is a cut and paste from www.folkmusic.com which is John McCutcheon's website. He's really on target with this one. Talkin' Tinkie Winkie Words & music by John McCutcheon Work version (2/21/99)

There's no melody—it's a talking blues...

Let me tell you all a story Though I'm sure you've heard If you've paid the least attention Then you've gotten the word About the latest in America's Favorite mix: I'm talking Politics, religion and sex Yeah boy, brought many a dinner party, talk show, and federal government to a grinding halt

It seems that there's a preacher that's Spending his days Channel surfing searching for Signs of gays And he's just uncovered something That the rest of us missed Aimed at two year olds And the guy is pissed We're talking televised brain washing directly from Gay Control Central...plus it's British! Those fairies!

Teletubbies, Tinkie Winkie, You know the deal He's purple, he's gay And I say, "Get real!" The color's pink, Jerry And he's further news: If he's gay his purse would Surely match his shoes

And you've got the wrong message It seems to me The question is Why should two year olds be watching TV? But I know you've got a lot of Witch-hunting to do So I thought I'd help you out 'Cause you missed a few: like:

—Fred & Barney: remember the song? "We'll have a gay old time"?

—Donald Duck: "never wore any pants...spent a little too much time w/all those nephews, don't you think?"

—Batman & Robin: wealthy single guy and younger man living in that big mansion, leading a double life, lots of tights and capes. Come on...

—Uncle Sam: he's your uncle, he wants you.

—and, of course, the Purple One himself: Barney "I love you, you love me"...

Gay.

See, what I can't figure Are his days so free That he can waste 'em watching All that kid's TV We'd all be better off If you'd just begin Preaching love and compassion Instead of trolling for sin
