Pajama Man; and Mornin' Joke


I'm writin me a blog
I'm the pajama man
I'm writin' me a blog today
For we're all in the mood for a good essay
And everyone's readin all night

Oh Its nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular bloggers start loggin' in
There's an old man sitting in his leisure clothes
Makin' love to his keyboard and screen

He says, man, can you tell me whats new today?
I'm not really that hard in the know
And they're lyin' and ranting on cable news
And I got to find out how it all really goes

La la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da

Chorus:

I'm writin' me a blog
I'm the pajama man
I'm writin' me a blog today
For we're all in the mood for a good essay
And everyone's readin' all night

Now jughead and mika are on again
She's sluggin down pills like their free
And Jughead has awoke and is quick with a joke 
But there's someplace that he'd rather be
He says, Mike I believe they are killing me.
As the smile ran away from his face
The Democrats have just gotten too far
And the new socialism's such a disgrace

Oh, la la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da

Now these guys in their pj's are funnin me
They type that I have nothing but tripe
They don't realize what a gift I am to their TVs
And I probably will be shunned for life

And the pajamas are practicing politics
While us experts are shunned and stoned
Yes they're pretending they know more than I know
And its makin me feel pretty low

Chorus

Im writin' me a blog
I'm the pajama man
I'm writen' me a blog today
For we're all in the mood for a good essay
And everyone's readin all right

There's a lot of good comments for a Saturday
And the chicken she gives me a smile
Cause she knows that its the bloggers they've come to read
To forget about cable for a while
And the keyboard, it sounds like a telefax
And the old desk, it smells like a beer
And they sit at their screens and put news on the air
And say, cable news, what are you doin here?

Oh, la la la, de de da
La la, de de da da da
