The Lyrics
rather was eighty years old today
as anchorman, he's still employed
i'd rather read newspapers...just, look at him
he's an old fart, who thinks he's a boy
jennings, brokaw and green...are turned sixty-three
those fellows have dropped from the ranks
and moyer and jones...sixty-seven years old
were fired long ago cause they stank
but rather still finds it a nice thing to do
to tell you the news, while he can
drawing ire from his critics...he takes his lumps
he's still on the air...good ol' dan
but wait
ol' rather's productive, you know
his ratings the best ones, around
while he's number one, he can look down his nose
he's still the toast of the town
but is it over ?
rather was eighty years old today
and rather heard comments, that stung
he stared back, with eyes wide
and plainly said
"is it true that i'm no longer young ?
how the time flies, when you're famous
i'm an old man, you've complained
and you've called me, ignoramus
i have heard the nasty things you say
i'll quit today"
but the network told him, no, you're not old
and the network let him go on
smiling
