Song Lyrics: Ding Dong the Trash is Dead. (An Ode to Joe Horn)

Here a little ditty I adapted and put to the music of the song "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead" from "The Wizard of Oz." Who is speaking the lines precedes the lines. Enjoy.

DING DONG THE TRASH IS DEAD

(lyrics adapted by Texas Truth)

Citizens of Pasadena, Texas:
Ding Dong! The Trash is dead. Which old Trash? The Criminal Trash!
Ding Dong! The Criminal Trash is dead.
Wake up - sleepy head, rub your eyes, get out of bed.
Wake up, the Criminal Trash is dead. They’ve gone where the goblins go,
Below - below - below. Yo-ho, let's open up and sing and ring the bells out.
Ding Dong' the merry-oh, sing it high, sing it low.
Let them know
The Criminal Trash is dead!

Mayor of Pasadena:
As Mayor of the Pasadena City, In the County of the Land of Texas, I welcome you most regally.

Joe Horn’s Lawyer:
But we've got to verify it legally, to see

Mayor of Pasadena:

Joe Horn’s Lawyer:
If they

Mayor of Pasadena:
If they?

Joe Horn’s Lawyer:
Are morally, ethic'lly

Legal Pasadena Resident Number 1:
Spiritually, physically

Legal Pasadena Resident Number 2:
Positively, absolutely

Citizens of Pasadena, Texas:
Undeniably and reliably Dead

Harris County, Texas Coroner:
As Coroner I must aver, I thoroughly examined them.
And they’re not only merely dead, They’re really most sincerely dead.

Mayor of Pasadena
Then this is a day of Independence For all Pasadenaians and their descendants

Joe Horn’s Lawyer:
If any.

Mayor of Pasadena:
Yes, let the joyous news be spread The Criminal Trash at last is dead!
