[Charles Henrickson]

Here are the lyrics with a MIDI link so you can sing along:

IT'S GOT TO BE SECRETLY BOUGHT
Tune: "You've Got to Be Carefully Taught"

You've got to be taught to use your fame
Your wealth and your power to get a game
But it's got to be done without harming your name--
It's got to be secretly bought.

You've got to be taught to scorn and scold
Those people whose shoes are cheaply sold
At Wal-Mart, whose heart is so corporate cold--
You've got to be duly distraught.

You've got to be taught to not stand in line
Before you are six or seven or nine
To act like John Edwards and think you're so fine--
You've got to get more than you ought!
You've got to be carefully taught.

Kudos, Charles! Beautifully done!

[HoosierHawk]

Well done, sir.

[Paul Heinzman]

Bravo! Yet another great parody.

[Roscoe Karns]

That's a good one!

...I remember The Palm Beach Pokey, also. I had no idea that you wrote it though. Good stuff!
