“Ballad of Paladino” by Michael Benjamin
A Parody of the “Ballad of Paladin” (Have Gun Will Travel Theme)
Paladino, Paladino. Where does the Tea Party reign?
Paladino, Paladino. Far, far from sane!
I’m Mad As Hell says the man from Buffalo.
A Tea Party knight without peer or halo.
His fast and loose talk has the weight of a neutrino.
A landlord of great fortune is the man called Paladino.
Paladino, Paladino. Where does the Tea Party reign?
Paladino, Paladino. Far, far from sane!
He travels on with bat in hand; Albany or bust!
A cache of inappropriate email is his badge of trust.
He’s the populist legend that the newsmen all spin o’
this man against Cuomo.
The man called Pa-la-di-no! Pa-la-di-NO!
Paladino, Paladino. Where does the Tea Party reign?
Paladino, Paladino. Far, far from sane!
Far, far from sane!
Far, far from sane!
