Subject: RE: Lyr Req: I don't care if it rains or freezes
Many years ago, a friend of mine used to to this one but he embelished it with some patter as though it was being broadcast from one of those supercharged radio stations just south of the Mexican border. Went something kindly like this... (assume your best Texas drawl, y'all)

(Begin with intro and first chorus.)

Announcer: (In Southern revival presentation style) Yes friends, this program is brought to you by the Pink and Pleasant Plastic Icon company of Del Rio, Texas. Act fast and you can be the first in your neighborhood to collect the complete set of our Pink and Pleasant Plastic Icons. These smart looking blesed symbols will cast a warm light throughout the room that enhances any decor. Yes friends, we will send you a different member of the Holy Family each week. Just imagine the envy of your friends and neighbors when they come into your home and there, on top of your television set, is the entire Holy Family easin' eye strain and bringin' in better reception. Yes friends, it's as the song says...

Complete the song.

(Follow with more patter in the same vein with instrumental in the background.)

(One more chorus and out.)

With the writing talent around this place, someone should be able to whip this into a full length bit.
