The Red Hot Blues

For no particular reason (other than it's going to be over 108 degrees here in North Texas for the near future) today's entire Rant is a slightly updated version of Tom Lehrer's timeless classic, "We Will All go Together When We Go".

--------------------

We will all go together when we go.
What a comforting fact that is to know.
Universal bereavement,
An inspiring achievement,
Yes, we all will go together when we go.

We will all go together when we go.
All suffused with an incandescent glow.
No one will have the endurance
To collect on his insurance,
Lloyd's of london will be loaded when they go.

Oh, we will all fry together when we fry.
We'll be french fried potatoes by and by.
There will be no more misery
When the world is our rotisserie,
Yes, we will all fry together when we fry.

And we will all bake together when we bake.
There'll be nobody present at the wake.
With complete participation
In that grand incineration,
Nearly eight billion hunks of well-done steak.

Oh, we will all char together when we char.
And let there be no moaning of the bar.
Big Oil's profits quite mandated
That we'd all end dehydrated,
And the party will be "come as you are."

Oh, we will all burn together when we burn.
There'll be no need to stand and wait your turn.
When the ozone layer bugs out
And Saint Peter calls us all out,
We'll just drop our agendas and adjourn.

You will all go directly to your respective Valhallas.
Go directly, do not pass go, do not collect two hundred dolla's.

And we will all go together when we go.
Ev'ry hottenhot and ev'ry eskimo.
When the land is tot'ly igneous,
And we will all go simultaneous.
Yes, we all will go together
When we all go together,
Yes, we all will go together when we go.
