Yesterday, the wise poster Zargis told me I was “hilarious” after my little post of a twist on a song from The Wizard of Oz. Poor Zargis did not realize that he unleashed the humorous beast in me. Thus, I now post the following spinoff to the tune by Randy Newman (with deepest apologies Randy) in honor of our Chartists on the board. By no means will it be nominated for Song of the Year. I consider this an “open source” song so anyone should feel free to edit, amend, change, rewrite or expand on these profound lyrics.
Chart People (by Lumpina)
Chart people got no reason
Chart people got no reason
Chart people got no reason
To Post
They got little gaps
They think they’re wise
They type around
Tellin’ great big lies
They got little supports
And tiny little hammers
They make Candlesticks
With their little tiny Wicks
Well, I don’t want no chart people
Don’t want no chart people
Don’t want no chart people
‘Round here
Chart people are just the same
As you and I
(A fool such as I)
All posters are brothers (except for MH)
Until the day they die
(It’s a wonderful world)
Chart people got Monest Hind
Chart people got Stockprofitter
Chart people got Raggoz
To Post
They got little bitty candles
That spin so slow
You got to whirl them around
Just to see them show
They got little hammers and
Hanging Men
They got Dark Cloud Covers
Coming around the bend
They got bears and bulls
That make you think you’re a fool
And dirty little traps
That go slap slap slap
Don’t want no chart people
Don’t want no chart people
‘Round here
