The Lyrics
This subject matter was the talk of U.S. politics in early September 2018: the Op-Ed article written by the White House senior staff member who chose to critique the White House but remain "Anonymous." If you're looking at this years later than 2018, this just might seem quaint.
If I could talk to Anonymous
Oh, to chat and dish
That’s my wish for Rosh Hashanah Day
I’d say I’m glad you had this passion
And didn’t try to cash in
That would have been rash an’ déclassé.
(bridge)
If someone high-up yells this is all sabotage
Screams you’re a swine, and all you write is swill.
What if they shouted: “Why are you so treasonous?
And stop this teasin’ us - just spill!”
Then I would say: Hey, Anonymous,
Like Deep Throat had felt
I might note some may have missed the point:
Nobody’s flouting Anonymous
Or doubting Anonymous.
They’re about just outing Anonymous.
And get him tossed out of the joint.

Clever, clever idea
Man, I wish you did all of the verses...no matter. 555.
Click on the "Rex Harrison" link, Fred and check out "If I Could talk To The Cannibals" by Airfarcewon, one of our alltime great parodists. You'll be impressed
Thanks to both of you! And CML, I checked Airfarcewon's work out. That's really high-level lyric writing he or she does, as good as a lot I've heard on show cast albums!
