The Lyrics
Say goodnight, Dan.
Dan, now your fate is sealed,
Nailed you with a lie.
You never blamed your source,
Now anchor, your chair's bye-bye-bye-bye.
Roll out the door, Danny, Anchor's away,
Bail Danny and please yield,
So pink slipped are you, pink slipped now, good day.
Be on your way, Danny,
Desk cleared? Go away!
You've voiced your bias view,
So orn'ry did you play-ay-ay-ay.
Concede the desk, Danny,
They so heaved you,
Fade black the credits roll, now off my TV, off my TV view.
Nailed you with a lie.
You never blamed your source,
Now anchor, your chair's bye-bye-bye-bye.
Roll out the door, Danny, Anchor's away,
Bail Danny and please yield,
So pink slipped are you, pink slipped now, good day.
Be on your way, Danny,
Desk cleared? Go away!
You've voiced your bias view,
So orn'ry did you play-ay-ay-ay.
Concede the desk, Danny,
They so heaved you,
Fade black the credits roll, now off my TV, off my TV view.

What is the frequency, Danny Boy? 555 "mega-hurts" ! ;-)
as the Dixie Chicks might say, "I'm ashamed Dan's from Texas"
great concept...5s
Glad it caught up to him.....5's good parody.
I say good riddance to the self-important ass. 555
An anchor can prevent you from getting destroyed or it can prevent you from moving forward. Mr. Rather did the latter. Very clever title and an appropriate farewell.
What's the difference between Dan Rather and Guy DiRito? Dan is a credit to the State of Texas. Rather told the truth about Georgie the AWOL pilot. He just didn't back it up right. So now we've got fill-ins on CBS, Brian "JV" Williams on NBC, and Peter "the Dean" Jennings on ABC. Well, there's always Jim Lehrer on PBS, which is quite fair and always balanced. If only CNN were as liberal as Guys like you claim it is.
ya dont step on supermans cape ya dont dont spit into the wind ya dont pull the mask off the ole lone ranger and ya dont tell the truth about him (GW Bush) sorry to see ya go old buddy, dan, you where there when they shot kennedy, i remember you durring the cuban missle crisis and RFK... hey he still be making some news shows there so not really gone...
