Let’s Save Tony Orlando’s House Songtext
von Yo La Tengo

"We proudly welcome
Tony Orlando"
The state fair marquee reads
Inside, a thousand people with yellow ribbons sing
And clap on 1 and 3

Watch him burn
He′s dropping to his knees
Watch him burn
A medley: hits from "Grease"
Watch him burn
He never fails to please


Meanwhile, in Tahoe, outside Casa Tony
Wetting rags in gasoline
A jealous Frankie Valli says:
"Dawn, I want you back"
Lights a match and counts to three

Watch it burn
Reluctantly, he leaves
Watch it burn
Acrid smoke making him wheeze
Watch it burn
Humming Sherry splits the scene

Watch it burn
Reluctantly, he leaves
Watch it burn
Acrid smoke making him wheeze
Watch it burn
Humming Sherry splits the scene

"We're sorry to inform you
Tony Orlando has been postponed"
