The Lyrics
I'm stuck in Oklahoma (now THAT'S a great country music song title!). I find it interesting that the media proclaims the Occupy movement to be mainstream...the Ninety-Nine Percent. Yet whenever a participant is shown or interviewed spouting slogans and raving against anything, the same media charges that this is merely a fringe example being used to discredit the assembly. I may not agree with some goals of the movement, but I am outraged by the one-sided coverage, especially when compared to the demonizing of the much more orderly highly-focused Tea Party. At least in the last chorus, I do show the placid gentle Ribber. ;D
See that show in N.Y.C. today,
Spreading all around the U.S.A.!
Prez Obama calls the country to class warfare
And his minions now have come to stay.
Dems and libs and progs needn't worry
'Bout the folks whose favor they curry,
As we see this unbridled flurry
That the fringe won't stop.
Watch them while they're out demonstrating
As the U.S. system they're hating.
In the streets they'll be congregating
And they fear no cop.
The press is loving ev'rything that they do.
They can't get enough of the drama.
Yet more importantly, I'm telling you true,
They're taking our eyes off Obama.
Nancy says bless each "ninety-niner".
Left wing press says there's nothing finer.
How I wish they'd all go to "Chiner" (1)
And they'd leave chop-chop!
For I'm blurry from the flurry
That the fringe will not stop.
Yet for some of them my heart is sore.
Save a safety net just like before.
As for agitators and Soros-paid henchmen:
If you want love go see Michael Moore!
See those crowds worked up to a fever.
Each of them's a true-blue believer.
Pay no heed to any deceiver
That you see on Fox!
Shout for jobs but slam job creators.
They've no use for negotiators.
Hooting down all thoughtful debaters,
Marching up the blocks.
The network news can't give them too much time.
Their praise is unending and hearty.
These are the same crews who will blame ev'ry crime
On Bush and that horrid Tea Party.
Don't you dare charge them with sedition!
Trouble in the street's their tradition,
And the Prez will use this condition
As a campaign prop.
What a scurry is this flurry
That the fringe will not stop!
(Slowly, softly)
If it's peaceful, Rib will not worry.
To a judgment I will not hurry.
As I watch the maniac flurry
That the fringe won't stop.
I won't find their actions so scary
If one of them is John A. Barry.(2)
With my words I'll just thrust and parry
'Til my pen will drop.
I use my humor, sometimes witty and bright,
But I'll ask for media candor.
So when you are slandering the "goose" of the right,
You shouldn't endorse the left "gander".
Take a rest, to sleep be returning.
Do not dream of riots or burning.
Then our good will you will be earning -
Hate will go ker-plop!
Warm and furry will be flurry
That the fringe will not stop.
Spreading all around the U.S.A.!
Prez Obama calls the country to class warfare
And his minions now have come to stay.

(1) - To make the rhyme fit, I used the JFK pronunciation. (2) - JAB replied in yesterday's comment that he might attend his local Occupy rally. BTW, I didn't mean to suggest that you were a moron. Will there be more Oklahoma? Does OMR play euphonium! ;D

Just another George Soros bought and paid for scam, like the traveling riot that follows the G-8 Summit from city to city around the world. If these people would stop and think (?), maybe they'd ask themselves the question "Who gave the money to the bankers and the brokers"? It was the government. Would you have pledged to the Wall Street Telethon? That money was taken by force or threat of force by the federal government, which is solely responsible for the bailout. Try demonstrating against Congress and see how long they'll let you block streets and occupy city park space.
The fields are yellow, the police cars are brown, they'll dash when ends the fine weather. Another excellent OS choice & parody, yes, surry!
great job on this
Very nicely done!
Where'd the "The" before "Top" in the title of the original song come from? Or is there an alternate version to this song?
