• The Lyrics

  • Anytime you need a token liberal
  • Nothin' but a body to fill a chair
  • The barest shadow of a person
  • Alan Colmes is always there.
  • But all those years of non-existence
  • Can really run a person down.
  • Now he's leaving Hannity forever
  • Alan, please don't go!
  • You're the only non-douche bag on that show
  • He's gone. Bye bye,
  • Oh why
  • He was the Tango to his cash
  • And he's gone.
  • Oh why
  • To the extent
  • That I hadn't noticed he was there
  • But he's gone.
  • Oh why
  • What went wrong?
  • He's gone. Bye bye
  • Oh why?
  • He was the Laurel to his Hardy
  • He's gone
  • To spend
  • More time
  • Not being seen with his family
  • He's gone
  • What went wrong?
