Ballad of Bob and Mike


(To the tune of "How are things in Glocca Morra?")
-
How are things today in Durham,
Is the Herald Sun still published now?
Does Bob Ashley still have Nifong’s back?
Finding excuses like a faithful hack,
He's the "bull", Nifong's his sacred cow.
-
How are things today in Durham,
Bob and Mike still joined up at the hip?
Bob’s running to deflect each blow,
Slap down that naughty N&O:
They should keep their muzzles zipped!
-
Bob must rush and prop up Herr Gottlieb,
Doesn't want this nasty stuff to ruin his "leave."
Forget about the Blinco's mess!
As for those Dukies...ARREST! ARREST!
Let's do a story that is sure to please.
-
You'll never hear Bob finding fault with Mike,
Why everything that D.A. does he likes!
Guess he dug the cabbie trial?
Those slick line-ups made him smile?
Those Duke kids just aren't worth the fight?
-
How are things today in Durham?
Don't expect ole Bob to risk his neck.
That's not what journalism is for...
A trial could make circulation soar!
If they're tried…Bob could sell papers by the peck!
-
When the Hoax falls apart in Durham,
Will the Herald Sun survive?
Remember, Bobby never took a stand,
Propped Mike up and held his hand…
Will you want that paper laying in your drive???
