The Seven Deadly Words

Tune: The Broom of the Cowdenknowes
(chorus)
Oh the words the seven deadly words
The words that we dare not say
If we say (bleep), (motherbleep) or (bleep)
They'll take our license away
The seven deadly words.
How blythe was I that morn to hear
My name on the radio
Now every Monday on KCUF
I'll have my very own show.
(chorus)
But the words the seven deadly words
The words that I dare not say
If I say (bleep), (motherbleep) or (bleep)
They'll take my program away
The seven deadly words
The listeners called from near and far
Gualala to Covelo
Grandmothers, housewives and little kids
All said they loved my show.
Till one morn, one bonny summer morn
That's when my sorrows began
I said the deadliest deadly word
And then the (bleep) hit the fan.
The moon was full and I'd been up till dawn
I'd had two hours sleep
I pushed a button and "Car Talk" came on
It was then I said "Oh bleep..."
A lady from Ukiah had tuned in
She heard the word I did say
She'd never heard such a word before
And she fainted dead away.
Hard luck that I should banished be
By some officious creep
May he come down with a case of the piles
The next time that he takes a (bleep).
Some dark night, some dark and stormy night
Into the studio I'll creep
I'll gently turn on the microphone
And I'll softly whisper "bleep..."
(chorus)
Oh the words, the seven deadly words
The words that we dare not say
If we say (bleep), (motherbleep) or (bleep)
They'll take our license away
The seven deadly words
