The Lyrics
I agree with John A. Barry. I wish my routines were not so frequently political. You clowns in government - give me a break! Above all, I believe in life, liberty...and the pursuit of the cheap laugh.
I tell you I envy Tom and Won
Blaze, Susanna, Andria, and John
I wish that I just could write shtick
And be like Mathais, TJC
Meta and Tim and "Don" Guy D.
I wish that I just could write shtick
No politics friends - no raving rants from the right
Barry and Mike are - a truly blessed delight - when they keep it light
The humor always comes shing through
When they restrict their routines to "poo"
And stuff that we all know will do the trick
Oh I wish - that I - just could - write some shtick!
Blackjack can hit my funny bones
And Mike about Cath-rine Zeta Jones
I wish that I just could write shtick
My weary head goes into a whirl
With each funny song from Fiddlegirl
I wish that I just could write shtick
I'm not O'Reilly - I wish the stuff that I wrought
Was not Ann Coulter - I wish the laughs that I got - were songs about snot
I'd bury my hatchet made of lead
And not in Barack Obama's head
Of current event songs I'm getting sick
Oh I wish - that I - just could - write some shtick
Do you think that Gore Vidal and William F. Buckley ever had such earthy impulses? ;D

Like the old song says, "Shtick just keeps gettin' harder to find..." Not on AIR, though (thankfully!) :D
You may spoof softly, but you definitely carry a big shtick... No worries mate--I'm pretty sure your middle name is versitile... and thanks for the nod!
Somebody has to shtick it to those clowns, Ribber, and you're just the guy for the job. Glad I can hit dem funny bones and thanks for the mention!
Wish you could? Looks like you just did...
