The Oil Slick Song

Well, most o' the maybe 20 or so that might vouch for the ol' TwoPutter were in the crowd that packed the Chan Legion last Saturday night for "Prairie DawgFest 2010" - headlined by local dawg David K with other denizen dawgs playing along.  Local dawg Ricky Ybarra's band was alternating sets.  Ricky might vouch for me.  Well, maybe David, too.  Ricky's wife? Prolly not; we went to Prom together...

Anyway, David sang a song that had me ROLFMAO.  I sent him an email that night (from the bar; before I forgot), asking for the lyrics 'cause when I've had a cocktail or twelve, and there's a karoke machine around, I've been known to belt out a Buffet song or two 'cause since Buffett always ad libs with his songs in concerts (and I know, from experience), I figure it's ok to ad lib on 'em during karoke; but:  that's a tangent.  Back on point:  David not only replied with lyrics (below the fold), he also gave me a link to footage they shot from the fest.  Silly me; I figured that the guy with the camera was just another pathetic GOPer tracker...  So, the YouTube is up, and I hope the regular readers and (im)posters here at MPP enjoy it too...

- music by Jimmy Buffet, lyrics by David Keiski

nibblin' on spongecake, smells like an oil rake
all of those beaches are covered with oil
strummin' my G string, while they clean off a bird wing
southern boy tempers beginnin' to boil

WASTIN' AWAY AGAIN DOWN IN THE OIL SPILL
LOOKIN' FOR MY PET DOLPHIN NAMED WALT
SOME PEOPLE CLAIM THAT PRES'DINT BAMA'S TO BLAME... BUT I KNOW
THAT IT'S BP'S FAULT

Stepped on a tar ball, as big as a baseball
slipped and I slided right back to the bar
lit up my cigar, drop my match on my foot tar
went up in smoke and it left a big scar

WASTIN' AWAY AGAIN DOWN IN THE OIL SPILL
LOOKIN' FOR MY PET DOLPHIN NAMED WALT
SOME PEOPLE CLAIM THAT PRES'DINT BAMA'S TO BLAME... BUT I KNOW
THAT IT'S BP'S FAULT

I don't know the reason, for this oily season
nothin' to show but this pile uh goo
yeah it killed the beauty, a beach fool uh doodie
tar balls and Pelicans pissed off at you

WASTIN' AWAY AGAIN DOWN IN THE OIL SPILL
LOOKIN' FOR MY PET DOLPHIN NAMED WALT
SOME PEOPLE CLAIM THAT PRES'DINT BAMA'S TO BLAME... BUT I KNOW
THAT IT'S BP'S FAULT

I blew out my shrimp boat, stuck in oil it won't float
it's gummed up and rusty for a boat it don't pass
there's oil in the blender ~ can I return to sender
BP you suck you can kiss my fat ass

WASTIN' AWAY AGAIN DOWN IN THE OIL SPILL
LOOKIN' FOR MY PET DOLPHIN NAMED WALT
SOME PEOPLE CLAIM THAT PRES'DINT BAMA'S TO BLAME... BUT I KNOW
THAT IT'S BP'S FAULT
