6) (Won’t you play fair) Bill O’Reilly
Words by Michael Newdow
Music by Hughie Cannon
Won’t you play fair, Bill O’Reilly? Won’t you play fair?
What’s this talk of “no spin?”
I’m not sure that’s the phrasing I would employ
When the show’s fixed so that you win
Maybe from this day forward, for all your guests
Someone should tell them you don’t care
You know it’s uncouth to snuff out the truth
Bill O’Reilly won’t you please play fair?
Won’t you play fair, Bill O’Reilly? Won’t you play fair?
At least say what you’re doing
When they sit in your green room, eating your fruit
Tell them you will be screwing
Them, ‘cause after taping
Comes editing, for which the victim should prepare
C’mon, be a guy, and just admit the lie
Bill O’Reilly won’t you please play fair?
[Scat]
They say that in the ratings, you’re doing well
You surely have some points to spare
I just hadn’t heard you’d cut every word
Bill O’Reilly won’t you please play fair?
Won’t you play fair, Bill O’Reilly? Won’t you play fair?
Your treatment’s rather harsh
Removing explanations, claiming you’re right
Just like you did with Marsh
Will you now take the credit for what you’ve done
For soon there’ll be no Senate prayer
For you cannot thwart what goes on in Court
G A D F#m B
Bill O’Reilly won’t you please, I mean it, Billy
Bill O’Reilly won’t you please, Bill O’Reilly won’t you please
Bill O’Reilly won’t you please play fair?
Hey, you played fair, Bill O’Reilly, Hey, you played fair
This time the show ran live
He didn’t cut my words out, He was a gent
I swear that ain’t no jive
Two people got their points in, they did converse
With kindness and respect to share
The show may now flop, But still don’t you stop
Bill O’Reilly won’t you please
I’m here down on my knees
While you’re on the Marquees
The next show I may freeze
Or maybe even seize,
But still I like your cheese
And all your expertise
You put your guests at ease
Bill O’Reilly won’t you please play fair?
