Topic: For Beamer - Small Medium at Large

Scott (Beamer) asked me to post a song I wrote several years ago and have played a few times at Chordiestock gatherings. I found a youtube video someone made of me playing it at an open mic back in '08. I've also included the lyrics.

SMALL MEDIUM AT LARGE

Little Georgie hit it rich as a  fortune-telling midget
His TV show had money coming in   
But.Georgie was a little lax when it came to paying tax
It got him three years in the pen

He was only in six months they said, the morning shift was checking beds
And Little Georgie wasn't in his cell       
The search did not take very long, they determined he was gone
Then the prison sirens all began to wail   

Chorus:
Get on the phone, call the warden if he's home
We've got to find somebody that's in charge   
'Cause that fortune-telling midget's loose, we've got to spread the word
There is a small medium at large

It was a miracle escape, balloons tied to a packing crate
To fly o'er that wall a man would need some guts   
Hell, just to climb inside that rig a man would have to have balls so big
It had to prove that midget was half nuts   

Chorus

Sheriff Johnson had him trapped back in an alley
He got loose but Johnson won't say why   
But Johnson was admitted to the ER wirh some human bites
And we all know that midgets are just waist high   

Chorus

I heard they finally caught him out in Phoenix, Arizona
They cuffed him and they hauled him into court   
He would have made it clear to Frisco if he had the money
But I guess that midget was running a little short   


Chorus

OMG - so wrong, yet soooo frigging funny

I agree that  years after writing the song it is now politically incorrect and I am hesitant to play it these days. But it is still the most requested song I ever wrote.  roll
