Goodbye, Sam-u-el

(Sung to the tune of Candle In The Wind)

Goodbye Sam-u-el
Though I never knew you at all
You had the desire to fight back
When those around you scrawled
They scrawled from the internets
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you lose your hair
And it seems to me you coached your Raps
With a fire in your gut
Never knowing who to cling to
when B.C. iced your butt
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just timid
Your language is just too hardcore
Afraid you’d flip your lid

    Well said… I mean, well sung! When I saw that headline come up across the screen, I wondered what the MaraSmitch would have to say about this!

  2. Jeffrey Manuel Wong says:

    Thanks, Mookie.

    When I got home from work and heard the news, that was exactly my thought: “What the Marasmitch?!” Totally unexpected.

    I want to see a video of Jeff singing this one.

  4. Jeffrey Manuel Wong says:

    And One – I’ll sing “Goodbye Sam-u-el” if you accompany on piano. In a cocktail dress.

  5. And One says:

    So tempting. A dress made of cocktails? I’ll think about it . . .
