THOSE INFO-MERCIAL BLUES

THOSE INFO-MERCIAL BLUES

(Tune: “The Winnsboro Cotton Mill Blues”, as sung by Pete Seeger)

CHORUS:

I got the Blues, I got the blues…

I have those darn Info-mercial blues,

Regular programs cost a lot,

Networks need a way to fill their pot—

Those info-mercials are what we have got!

Take a peeler for its life

Peel more potatoes to impress the wife,

Wash it out to peel kiwi…

Make a “Big 10” salad with the free recipe!

CHORUS

Mesothelioma and pelvic mesh,

Taking psych meds while pregnant will catch

Lots of money just for you…

Driving up health insurance and your doctor bills, too!

CHORUS

The network has other programming too,

But with a disclaimer that it’s not for you…

Somewhere else some one is dismayed

Because their favorite programs aren’t being played!

I have the Blues, I have the blues,

I have those info-mercial over-ride blues…

Wish I had a dollar every time

They have tried to take my dime,

All that I can do is sing this rhyme.                                                      —Words by Jonathan Caswell
