a parody of "The Boy from New York City" by The Ad-Libs
The tale of recently-ousted and newly-convicted ex-Maricopa County (AZ) Sheriff Joe Arpaio, he of "Tent City" infamy, now facing sentencing and hoping for a Pardon from that boy from New York City, Donald Trump. Written and recorded a while back, it's a great backgrounder on "Sheriff Joke"...with a shout-out to the Rhinestone Cowboy, no less...RIP Glen.

A 1965 one-hit wonder from the Ad-Libs that went into the Top Ten, "The Boy From New York City" kept repeating about New York City. It was later remade in 1981 by the Manhattan Transfer who also had a top ten smash hit with the song.
