Proud Losers
(To the tune of Proud Mary I'm thinking the Creedence version, but if
some Loserettes had willing legs, the Ike and Tina Turner version wouldn't
be out of the question.)
Lyrics by Sandra Hull
Performed at the September 2000 Loser brunch
Got a good gig in the paper
Writin' poopyjokes for a man named Gene
But I never spend one minute obsessin'
Worryin' 'bout my loss of self-esteem
Big wheels keep on gaffin'
Proud Losers keep on laughin'
And we're spoofin', spoofin', spoofin' on page F2
Filled a lot of plates at brunches
Felt a lot of pain at the Olympics
But I never had a good time with the Losers
'til I rode a raft down a river with hicks
Linda keep on Trippin'
Proud Losers keep on riffin'
And we're spoofin', spoofin', spoofin' on page F2
If you come join us at Papa's
Bet you're gonna hear us joke up a storm
You don't have to worry if you are not funny
Losers like Dave Zarrow just love to perform
Barry keep on smokin'
Proud Losers keep on jokin'
And we're spoofin', spoofin', spoofin' on page F2
