Everybody’s Walkin’

As we approach the 1,000 hours-to-go mark in the Still Bush Administration (Dec 9, 2008, 8 PM EST, 5 PM PST – 1,000 hours to go), Bush must be looking around and watching people getting ready to leave. Here’s Harry Nilsson to help me describe it. I hope you enjoy the parody. I know you’ll enjoy the song.

Everybody’s Walkin’
Original Words and Music “Everybody’s Talkin'” by Harry Nilsson, 1969
Additional Lyrics by Wayne A. Schneider, 2008

Everybody’s walkin’ on me
I don’t hear a word ‘bout stayin’
Only the voices in my mind

People start their packing
I can’t slow their paces
Only the headlines with their lies

I’m going where the wife is happy
Thru’ the growing pain
Going where the cocaine suits my nose
Backing off of the Mid East rift
Passing on legal sleaze
And skipping out of the White House really stoned

Whaaaa,
Wha-wha-wha-wha,
Wha-wha, wha-wha, wha-wha-wha,
Wha-ahhh

I’m going where the wife is happy
Thru’ the growing pain
Going where the cocaine suits my nose
Backing off of the Mid East rift
Passing on legal sleaze
And skipping out of the White House really stoned

Everybody’s walkin’ on me
Can’t hear a word ‘bout stayin’
Only the voices in my mind

I won’t let me leave not really high
No, I won’t let me leave
Wah-wah-ah
I won’t let me leave not really high
I won’t let me leave
