The Lyrics
I went down to Downtown Burbank
By the Cat Hotel
It's a place where pampered kitties
Find a friendly place to dwell.
I saw a man and a cat at the entrance
He held the cat like he was pure gold
His handsome face looked rather familliar
He's a famous cat freak, I am told.
A limousine pulled up to the curbside
I saw the man get in
Later that day I was by Warner Brothers
I saw the the same man again.
I saw Jay in Downtown Burbank
Jay jaywalking there
He was dressed in a suit so dapper
Oh, that laugh, that smile, that hair.
Talk to me, talk to me, Mr. Leno
I have something to say
I know I can win you over
I know I can make your day.
Oh, please, please let me be on the Tonight show
I have a poodle that sings with a band
I throw tomahawks and play the ukelele
And play Stars and Stripes with my bare hands.
That's the end of Downtown Burbank
They say NBC has got to go
They say Mr. Leno is leaving
Leaving memories of the Tonight show.

Very good. 555
This was interesting. I wasn't sure where/how this was going from the cat theme to the jaywalking. It worked for me. 5s.
Funny stuff. I love Jay's "Jaywalking" bit. Extra points for the Ed Ames nod.
bizarre little tale...dug it
Invisible Boy, you remember well. Jeff, if you watch the Tonight show regularly you would know what I mean about the Cat Hotel - Jay dotes on his cat and once left him at the Cat Hotel. He mentiones the CH and the Pet Press on the show from time to time. Thanks, alvin and Jason.
Thanks 2Eagle...I don't watch it much, obviously, but now I know where that's from.
Hey, Mr Jay, I sing a pretty good "Besame Mucho" . . . with my black lamb leather chaps, it'll boost ratings on your show, Sir!
Very good tribute...makes great sense, and towers over all those other so-called Leno tribs, that have flooded past entry pages
Very clever title and parody.
You are absolutely perfect to be in our upcoming musical Leno. However i'm playing the part of Jay, so you'll have to play somebody else. How is your dancing by the way?
I dislike this. It just doesn't have enough pazzazzz! Me and my brother Dr Music are the best at doing Leno tributes. We are outraged that this wannabe is trying to steal our thunder. Sorry 2-Eagle, you get nothing but 1's from me and my brother. It's not that your song sucks or anything, it's just that well...it needs work, it needs pazzazz, it needs that magic touch. I didn't think Jay you would want you on his show, he wants people with talents that are bizzare but at the same time cool- like me and my brother's potion making abilties and our magic tricks. If I was a teacher I would grade this song a straight d minus.
Dr. Music: I'll be his cat.
Dr Music never said that!
This song speaks to me. It says- give me 5's which is what I will do. You know, if you look very closely you can spot me and my bro in the Jaywalking segments of the show- i'm the one in the black t shirt with the flames on it and the sunglassess, my brother is the one dressed in the t shirt with a picture of Jack Nicholson doing his famous "Heeere's Johnny!" face on the front. We're twins except that my brother is shorter. Remember, i'm the one in the flame t shirt and my brother's the one in the Jack Nicholson t shirt. If you ever have trouble finding us- it's because we wear camouflage sometimes.
He's ba - ak!
