Steve's Song for Kevin Mahoney (words by Steve Weisbart, with thanks to Alan Sherman; music traditional Irish folk tune) |
|
I work in cyber commerce for a small computer shop I've worked there for a few months, but the pressure's been nonstop We develop websites so you can shop online, But they're all due for Christmas, so there's never enough time. When the season's over and my endless workweek ends, That's the only time I see my family and my friends. But Jodi wants to see her mom and I guess I have to go So we take the train to Millburn and encounter a strange show. "Shake hands with my uncle John," she says, "and here is mom's cousin Rick, And here is my grandma Janet - she was born as a Lehrich, And you remember Joan - Jed's wife -- is mom to Matt and Jess, They came from Massachusetts to visit their cousin Tess. Meet Arnowitz, Berkowitz, Singer, and Feinberg, Neisser and Decter, and Krasnoff and Szoke, Axelrod, Muderick, Lehrich, and Kildee, Jorge - whose last name I just can't evoke; Sharon, and Henry, and Rachel and Michael, Tami and Jeffrey - their wedding was swell; There's Jasmine and Ellynn, two Sylvias, Dan, Ira, Bernice, and Aunt Bea as well. Shake hands with my cousin Zachary, and here is my brother Mike, And here is his girlfriend Tonya, who knows just what this is like. Whenever you're in Jersey, K, even though we see your mom, We must come here to see my folks who'll make you feel at home." |
