"Mommas don't let yo babies grow up to be senators"

This spoof song, a la "Weird" Al, was written by my friend and musician/songwriter and former band mate Eric McGinty in response to the international embarrassment also known as Alabama Sen. Charles Bishop (see previous post.

It's sung to the tune of Waylon and Willie's "Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys." You might want to dust off your "Urban Cowboy" soundtrack if you wanna sing along.

On a political note, isn't it interesting that Fox 'we love us a good circus' News hasn't touched this one since it involved a Republican looking the ass, guess they have enough of those in Washington.


Mommas don't let your babies grow up to be Senators

Mommas don't let your babies grow up to be Senators
They give themselves raises and charge to the town
And then end the day with a senate smackdown

-

Mommas don't let your babies grow up to be Charles Bishop

If you make him a comment he can't understand

He'll respond to you with his right hand

-

You'll have to forgive senator Bishop, he's been through a trauma

Where he comes from that's someone talking bad about your momma
He said that's not the way grown people solve problems but

There's something Lowell Barron oughta know

-

If he runs his mouth it's the Code of the South

That he'll get another "Lowell" blow
Mommas don't let your babies grow up to be senators

Don't let 'em pick fights on the Alabama senate floor

Tell 'em that's what Celebrity Death Match is for

-

Mommas don't let your babies grow up to be Charles Bishop

You can call him an idiot and he will stay calm

Just don't you mess with his mom
-

Senators ain't easy to love and they're kind of a snob

They'd rather just filibuster than do their own job

Lawmakers in Alabama have never been accused of pioneering

Anything other than screwing a brother

For messing with whitey's good thing
-

Mommas don't let your babies grow up to be senators

They rant and they rave and they cause such a storm

Sucker-punching over election reform

-

Mommas don't let your babies grow up to be Charles Bishop

If he can't control himself and his own kitsch

Then screw that ole son of a bitch
