Doug Palmer had a song buzzing around his brain pan, and so he whipped it out, and wrote the lyrics for us on FEEL FREE TO LAUGH yesterday. For some reason, that only Paul McCartney would fully understand, the lyrics seemed very "Beatleish" to me. You judge:
I feel a song coming up
Nobody wants you when you're down and out -
Nobody wants you when you're up and about -
Nobody wants you -
Nobody wants you -
Why don't you just go home?
Nobody wants you when you're looking like that -
Nobody wants you when you're wearing that hat -
Nobody wants you -
Nobody wants you -
Why don't you just go home?
You come around here with a face full of hair -
You got some vain notion that somebody cares -
You think you're so great -
But you can't keep a beat -
Do something useful with your big ugly feet -
(Dynamite guitar solo)
Why don't you just go home?
Doug Palmer 2008
What I hear in my mind is a driving beat like HEY, BULLDOG.

The inspiration for this travesty is the Rutles song "Get up and go"
From the Lorne Michaels produced movie "The Rutles" a marvelous satire
on the Beatles, their time and their environs.
It's a satire of a satire.
or maybe even a flatire.
Surely, sir, there must be a copy in your basement.
Over on "The Valve" there is an interesting post about the poet Alan Shapiro.
Lotta Shapiros going around, long may they wave
