(Parody of Mr. Tambourine by The Byrds)
Hey Mr. Congressman
Don’t write no check for me
Cuz their ain’t no jingle jangle
In your bank account
Hey Mr. Congressman
Don’t pay no penalty
In my pocket pickin’ dollars
You been borrowin’ free
Take me for a ride
In your expensive limousine
With the bar and TV screen
Like the ones that I have seen
In financial magazines
Paid for only with the ink pen
You’ve been packin’
I’m ready to bounce anywhere
Among the privileged few
Dressing up just like GQ
Hot to trot and well to do
If I could only be like you
Then I wouldn’t have to pay like normal people
Hey Mr. Congressman don’t bounce no check on me
Cuz there ain’t no jingle jangle
In your bank account
Hey Mr. Congressmen
Ah, thanks Mr. Congressman, Gee, a whole 25 cents, you think you can spare it? Yeah, things are tough all over.
That’s a good one!

Nice parody! Decent enough Dylan impersonation as well though could have varied the melody and chorus a little more. Ah… everyone’s a critic…

Not bad. Hey, at least I could understand the lyrics, which is almost impossible to do when you see Dylan live!

Folks seem to appreciate having the lyrics and it is often more work to put them up but I feel it is worth it. I will have one for you on Sunday that will touch your heart … Sky Angel. If you get some time, come on back and check it out.
