Letterman Song

 

I was standing there with Letterman
I was standing there with Letterman and his friend Paul
Do you recall?
The beauty of it all…


(Well I do.  I do.)

When I was ten, he was my friend.  The TV in my closet cast a glow.
I was up at one A.M.  With The World's Most Dangerous Band,
And Jungle Jack on the twelve-thirty show.

He dropped things off a five-floor tower
The home office in Milwaukee is the Top Ten source of power.
Monkey cams and Velcro suits and How's he doing on time?
'cause here comes Larry “Bud” Melman and The Regulator Guy!

'Cause I was standing there on Letterman
I was standing there on Letterman and his friend Paul
Do you recall?
We could have had it all...


(Well I do.  I do.)

His Cue cards smashed through empty windows and the gag just never got old
Hoosier Daddy on the cover of Rolling Stone. Lea Thompson and Sandler are not alone.
“There simply is no better man” so “Come on! Let's watch David Letterman!”

He likes cigars and driving fast cars and filling in for Johnny
Mujibur and Sirajul and Rupert Jee's Hello Deli
Quintuple bypass. Can't extort him for cash. Drew Barrymore lifted her blouse...
And one of his fans, intent on her plans, kept breaking into his house!

Be-Cause, I was standing there with Letterman
I was standing there with Letterman and his friend Paul
Do you recall?
The beauty of it all…

(I do.  I do.)
