Its An Idea

A friend and occasional commenter writes:

To the tune of Johnny Cash ‘How Highs the Water Momma?’

Let’s blow some money papa

700 Mil and climbing

It’s a billion here, a billion there

who gives a damn if people care

we’re not elected and that’s not fair

700 mil and climbing

Let’s blow some money papa

1.7 billion and climbing

The council’s broke, Walz is woke

We’ll spend enough money

To make the DFL Choke

In the end who’s going to care

1.7 bill and climbing

Almost writes itself…..That’s after just one cup of coffee

I haven’t recorded anything in a while. Might have to give this a shothave to give us a shot.

Given the damage popping up in that condo unit/converted grain silo, might have to come up with some lyrics adapted from “Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald”.

    Re the Eddie Fitz:
    The residents all say, they’d have made Tonka Bay
    If they’d put Minneapolis behind them.
