My husband the *groan* filker

[kitanzi]

I'm eyebrows deep in training for the new position, and I mentioned to ACat that "There must be fifty ways to do deductions" kept popping up in my head to the obvious tune, but I had no idea what to do with it. His response?


The answers are all inside your books, she said to me
They can be cooked if you'll just take it logically
I'd like to help you hide your money, clear and free
There must be 50 ways to do deductions

Just skim off the stack, Jack
Divert all the cash, Flash
Make a grab for the dough, Joe
Just leave it me

Just fudge on the sum, chum
If they audit you, play dumb
Keep your deposit Swiss, miss
And your interest is free

(The obvious tune, if it's not so obvious, is Fifty Ways To Leave Your Lover)

I do love this man. Damn good thing, isn't it? *G*

I envy your husband and other filkers who have a quick enough brain to come up with this stuff on the fly. I don't have that ability. :(

I started work on another related tune, but I only got so far.

"This here's the story of (3-syllable name) and Kenny Lay...."

The title? "Take The money, Enron".

Dubya Bush has 3 syllables. :)

He's quite good at that. There's an even better example of him instafilking here:

Jeff Skilling, Enron's President, will fit nicely. I'll wait for the results. :)

*laughs wryly, thinking that this resembles the way her boss does budgets*

I think that's how most companies do it...and I'm not even gonna go into how the big ones do.....

Oh my, so I forwarded the lyrics - attributed to Rob WYnne - to my accountant and got this reply:
"That was hilarious! I forwarded the words to some of my accounting
friends-maybe your friend will become famous!"

Hope Rob doesn't mind! :-)

[autographedcat.livejournal.com]

Gosh. No, I don't mind at all. If I'd known folks were gonna start forwarding it places, I'd have worked harder on it. :)

And where are verses 2 and 3, hmm? :-)

Hee-hee...nice insta!

Yeh, innit? :) Credit where credit is due, and debit where debit is due.
