NO COVERS HERE TONIGHT
Lyrics by Geo. McCalip (c) 2012 BMI
Public Domain Tune

There's no covers here tonight.
There's no covers here tonight.
You can thank the music Nazis
There's no covers here tonight.

There's no covers here tonight.
There's no covers here tonight.
The first A in ASCAP stands for anal
There's no covers here tonight.

There's no covers here tonight.
There's no covers here tonight.
We won't pay ASCAP's extortion
There's no covers here tonight.

There's no covers here tonight.
There's no covers here tonight.
I can sing this since I'm with BMI
But there's still no covers here tonight.
