The Ballad of Big Lou Williams

(Sung to the tune of: The Beverley Hillbillies)

Come and listen to the story of a man named Lou,

Convicted of assault, don't know what he's gonna do.

Judge said, Lou, you gotta work inside,

'Till probation term is done and you get to take a ride.

Radio, that is!

Answer phones!

Dispatch calls!

.

Well the first thing ya know, old Lou was heard to say,

There ain't no way, that you can make me stay.

In a no-brain job, just giving out those calls,

Before to long, I'll be climbing up the walls.

Stress leave!

Sick time too!

.

The news quickly spread to Communications staff,

I think it's fair to say, that, they didn't get a laugh.

Said each one there, I hope he has the guts,

To show up now, cause, we'll surely have his nuts!

In a jar that is!

Smoked and pickled too!

Now it's time to give the word, to the lawyer and to Lou,

It seems Communications staff, are coming after you.

You're both invited in next week, to their locality,

To sit and do their job, so you can really see.

Set a spell!

Put your headset on!

Y'all be ready now, y'hear!!!
