The Jackal Speaks Tonight♫ Updated

Ee-e-e-yikes, wot-a-bum
Ee-e-e-yikes, wot-a-bum

Bamabum, bamabum, bamabum, bamabum
Bamabum, bamabum, bamabum, bamabum
Bamabum, bamabum, bamabum, bamabum
Bamabum, bamabum, bamabum, bamabum

In the congress, the dreadful congress
The jackal speaks tonight
In the congress, the cupid* congress
The jackal speaks tonight

Bamabum, bamabum, bamabum, bamabum
Bamabum, bamabum, bamabum, bamabum
Bamabum, bamabum, bamabum, bamabum
Bamabum, bamabum, bamabum, bamabum

For the pillage, the dreadful pillage
The jackal speaks tonight
For the pillage, the stupid pillage
The jackal speaks tonight

Bamabum, bamabum, bamabum, bamabum
Bamabum, bamabum, bamabum, bamabum
Bamabum, bamabum, bamabum, bamabum
Bamabum, bamabum, bamabum, bamabum

Hush my darlings, don't gripe my darlings
The jackal speaks tonight
Trash my darlings, s'no dream my darlings
The jackal speaks tonight

Bamabum, bamabum, bamabum, bamabum
Bamabum, bamabum, bamabum, bamabum
Bamabum, bamabum, bamabum, bamabum
Bamabum, bamabum, bamabum, bamabum

Ee-e-e-yikes, wot-a-bum
Ee-e-e-yikes, wot-a-bum

*I know cupid is not cupidity, but I'm allowed poetic license, especially since cupidity is so fitting for these stone deaf so-called representatives.

And, of course, with apologies to the tune by the Tokens, The Lion Sleeps Tonight, to which this would be sung if I can find a singer.

***Update***
PA Cat at Belmont Club offered the following adaptation of an old popular standard:


Take me out of their bawl game;
Take me far from that crowd;
Give them their pork and their crack and smack;
I don’t care if they never come back.
Oh it’s boot, boot, boot out that lame team–
If they survive, it’s a shame–
For it’s one– two– three strikes, they’re out
Of the real ball game!
