DeJoy, boy, is that you? I thought your Post Office days were through
"We Gotta Get You Arrested"
DeJoy, boy, is that you? I thought your Post Office days were through Tellin' lies and wrecking lives Tell no lies You get wise I tell you now, we're gonna get you dude There's only one thing left that we can do We gotta get you arrested It's like nothin' else to make sure all the mail gets through We gotta get you arrested We better perp-walk him, we're wastin' time talkin' now DeJoy, boy, you're no friend We'll say how and we'll say when Ride this cruiser down the street Take a seat - the back seat We may not ever get this chance again That angry feeling's just about to end We gotta get you arrested It's like nothin' else to make sure all the mail gets through We gotta get you arrested We better perp-walk him, we're wastin' time talkin' now Talkin' 'bout life and how to make you do decades in prison we will put you through I got one thing to say, you know it's true We got to find some time to get this thing together, 'cause We gotta get you arrested It's like nothin' else to make sure all the mail gets through We gotta get you arrested We better perp-walk him, we're wastin' time talkin' now Talkin' 'bout things so evil that you've done You may be stupid, but it sure is fun to give chase to you while you're on the run Because we ain't got time to get this thing together, 'cause We got to get a prosecutor with guts who has been around One who knows better than to let us down Let's hope there's still one left in this whole town And that she'll take some time to get this thing together, 'cause Get this thing together, 'cause Get this thing together, 'cause We gotta get you arrested We gotta get you arrested We gotta get you arrested And when we're through with you We'll get some Trumps too -Apologies to Todd Rundgren

5. Now do a Utopia tune!
Going to be going through all the songs in my head for the next few hours, trying to figure out which ones would work.

8. I just have to resist the urge to go for the deep cuts.
Nerd that I am, my first thought was Utopia's "The Up".

9. Yeah, apparently even his hits are obscure around here.
Very little response - but I greatly appreciate those who have responded.

7. I read it
but, since I am focused on Christmas now, I thought of the line, "Santa Claus, is that you?" Good work, though!

12. People often get the rhythm wrong when parodying a song, but your meter is impeccable on this.
Clearly, you're a wizard, a true star.

16. The weird thing is how many of the lyrics needed little or no change!
Like the Dark Side Of The Wizard Of Oz - some things just randomly work!

15. WooHoo! ❤️ Love it!
Only way it would be better is if it works and DeJoy gets his ass arrested.
