Musical Interlude For The Day

April 29, 2023

With a spring in our step and a song in our heart, the ever lighthearted crew here at Paying Attention™ has been overtaken by a snappy tune these past few weeks. We felt it only fair to share with all of you. To get you in the right mood here is a classic version of George and Ira Gershwin’s “Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off” sung by the inimitable Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong

Though we may have lost track of some of the original lyrics, the gleeful innocence of the original remains, we think, intact.

Things have come to a pretty pass,

Our ex-prez is growing fat.

For he likes Russia and we other,

While he goes for this and we for that,

Goodness knows what the end will be,

Oh, we don’t know where we're at.

It looks as though we two will never be one.

Something must be done.

You say impeachment, and I say indictment

You say bereavement, and I say excitement

Impeachment, indictment

Bereavement, excitement

Let’s call the whole thing awful.

You call him asshole, and I call him shitface

You say deplorable, and I say a disgrace

An asshole, a shitface

Deplorable, a disgrace

Let’s call the whole thing awful.

You call him loser, but I prefer fuck-up,

He makes you bummed out, but I tell you buck up,

He’s losing his marbles, not-guilty pleas garbled

Let’s lock the motherfucker up!

This has been your Paying Attention™ Musical Interlude For The Day.

We hope you sang along.
