DFU SONG: Rhode Island's Official State Song (with a new Patrick Kennedy twist)
DFU SONGS | 5-2006 | Lyrics, Doug from Upland

Posted on 05/06/2006 9:43:26 PM PDT by doug from upland

MIDI - RHODE ISLAND'S IT FOR ME

We have a representative...who knows not where he's been
Perhaps it was cocaine or pills...or a fifth of daddy's gin

He drives his convertible...along our pretty shores
He is a good liberal guy...we couldn't ask for more
We really love the Kennedys...although they're often drunk
Well, at least they didn't find a dead girl in his trunk

Godspeed, Patrick...Godspeed, Patrick...may rehab work this time
Rhode Island is forgiving you for each and every crime

He stands up for all causes Green...although we all can see
His car has a big V-8 with not good mpg
We all love the Kennedys...although they're often drunk
Well, at least they didn't find a dead girl in his trunk

Godspeed, Patrick...Godspeed, Patrick...may rehab work this time
Rhode Island is forgiving you for each and every crime

When time has come for voting and you don't know where you are
Do not let that worry you...to us you're still a star
Still a star...you are

When you know the time is right, and you come back to us
We'll let you take our children on a field trip in a bus

Godspeed, Patrick...Godspeed, Patrick...may rehab work this time
Rhode Island is forgiving you for each and every crime

Godspeed, Patrick...Godspeed, Patrick...may rehab work this time
Rhode Island is forgiving you for each and every crime

YOUR lyrics are good. ;-)

Thanks. Yes, it is a horrible tune. Someone was probably impaired when he wrote it.

Maybe can write a song based on ROAD TO RHODE ISLAND from
FAMILY GUY

http://briansbar.com/RoadtoRI.wav

Both: We're off on the road to Rhode Island
We're having the time of our lives
Stewie: Take it, dog
Brian: We're quite a pair of partners
Just like Thelma and Louise
Except you're not six feet tall
Stewie: And you're breasts don't reach your knees
Brian: Give it time
Both: We're off on the road to Rhode Island
We're certainly going in style
Brian: I'm with an intellectual who craps inside his pants
Stewie: How dare you!
At least I don't leave urine stains on all the household plants
Brian: Oh, pee jokes
Both: We've traveled a bit and we've found
Like a masochist in Newport, we're Rhode Island bound
Brian: Crazy weather we're having, huh?
Stewie: First class and no class
Brian: Whoa, careful with that joke, it's an antique
Both: We're off on the road to Rhode Island
We're not gonna stop till we're there
Brian: Maybe for a beer
Whatever dangers we may face, we'll never fear or cry
Stewie: That's right
Until we're syndicated, Fox will never let us die, please?
Both: We're off on the road to Rhode Island
The home of that old campus swing
Brian: We may pick up some college girls and picnic on the grass
Stewie: We'd tell you more, but we would have the censors on our ass
Brian: Yikes
Both: We certainly do get around
Like renegade Pilgrims who were thrown out of Plymouth Colony
We're Rhode Island bound
Or like a group of college freshmen who were rejected from Harvard and forced to go to Brown
We're Rhode Island bound!

(Tune: Road to Rhode Island, see above)...

He drove off the road in Rhode Island
He crashed his Mustang in DC

He's following the footsteps of his dead old daddy Ted
But at least in this case, nobody wound up dead!

He's dazed and confused in Rhode Island
He drives in his sleep in DC
etc
Now he's off to the Mayo,

Sounds good to me. Nothing like a Saturday night in Mississippi listening and reading a parody of Mr. Patrick's escapades.

DFU SONG: Always a Woman (Patrick Kennedy - at least there's not a dead woman like dad)
DFU SONGS | 5-2006 | Lyrics, Doug from Upland

Posted on 05/05/2006 2:08:59 PM PDT by doug from upland

MIDI - ALWAYS A WOMAN

Patrick's out late at night...he was driving impaired
Everyone who was nearby was certainly scared
He had smashed up his car and although that was bad
At least there was not a dead woman like there was with dad

When he was in his teens he was hooked on cocaine
Like all Kennedys, for the law there is disdain
He had smashed up his car and although that was bad
Well, at least there was not a dead woman like there was with dad

Why is he getting a pass...one more Kennedy slides...it is such a disgrace
When he came out to the press...I know I would have died... had he worn dad's neck brace

He had lied to the police, saying he's late for voting
That is just one more crime, I think it is worth noting
He had smashed up his car and although that was bad
Well, at least there was not a dead woman like there was with dad

He smashed up his car...although that was bad
At least there was not a dead woman like there was with dad

Why is he getting a pass...one more Kennedy slides...it is such a disgrace
When he came out to the press...I know I would have died... had he worn dad's neck brace

So he's off to rehab...is this problem genetic?
As a role model, his father's really pathetic
He had smashed up his car and although that was bad
So he had a tough day, but at least he can say
There was not a dead woman like dad

He smashed up his car...although that was bad
At least there was not a dead woman like there was with dad

'DAZED' KENNEDY'S EARLIER R.I. CRASH


By JENNIFER FERMINO Post Correspondent



PATRICK KENNEDY
Witness saw "glazed eyes."

May 7, 2006 -- PORTSMOUTH, R.I. - Two weeks before he crashed his Mustang into a security barrier, a glossy-eyed Patrick Kennedy drove against traffic and collided with another car in a Rhode Island drugstore parking lot.
"He was swaying and his eyes were glazed," Sheila Lash, 75, of Newport, told the Boston Gobe. "Then he said the most unlikely thing: 'I'm so sorry for the fuss.' "

Sen. Ted Kennedy's son - who checked into rehab after Thursday's crash near the Capitol - had the earlier accident on April 15 while driving his Crown Victoria close to his house in Portsmouth.

Lash - whose nephew is former Democratic Rhode Island lieutenant governor Richard Licht - said she first noticed Kennedy when he zoomed out of a side Street and almost hit her. She honked her horn at him when she saw him swerve his car into oncoming traffic.

Kennedy then turned left into a CVS parking lot and was smacked by an oncoming Nissan Maxima, driven by Thomas Guthlein, 46.

Guthlein would not corroborate Lash's description of an impaired-looking Kennedy because he said he didn't get close to him.

Lash said she felt compelled to pull over and give Kennedy a piece of her mind, and he apologized to her. No one was hurt in the 10 a.m. crash.



The Portsmouth police report said Kennedy "appeared normal." His handwritten account of the accident was barely legible.

Meanwhile in a interview with the Providance Journal right before checking into rehab on Friday, Kennedy said a female companion tried to stop him from driving the night of the crash.

He also admitted that his March 2000 assault on a security guard at Los Angeles International Airport was because of his "mental illness," drinking and drug abuse.

Democrats to Nominate Kennedy for Re-Election (... and the Saga of "Patches" Continues...!)
ABC6.News ^ | 05/08/2006 | AP


Posted on 05/08/2006 2:07:07 PM PDT by KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle


Rhode Island Democrats are expected to endorse Representative Patrick Kennedy for re-election when they meet tonight in West Warwick.

Party members will endorse candidates for Congress and the state's top jobs -- governor, secretary of state, general treasurer and attorney general.

Kennedy has checked himself into the Mayo Clinic for treatment for addiction to prescription drugs following a Thursday car accident in Washington. He says he can't remember driving to Capitol Hill or crashing his car.

Kennedy's doctors say he was taking Phenergan for stomach and intestinal problems and Ambien, a commonly prescribed sleeping medication. Police say he appeared intoxicated.

Doug,

I heard a song on the radio this morning that went to the tune of "Bad Company", except the words were "Bad Kennedys". I was hilarious. Do you think you can track it down?

I am clueless. If you can remember the station to which you were listening, call them. They should be able to give you the info.
