No Mergin' Till You Hear From Us
To be sung to the Duke Ellington tune
"Do Nothin' Till You Hear From Me"
(… Pay no attention to what's said.)

Verse
Phone calls on cable so Wall Street surmises –
But a merger won't help you that much,
Even though Bushie and Fox hype the story
That the public will be a soft touch.

Chorus
Do nothin' till you hear from us.
No mergin' till you get the word.
For Fox to claim the FCC will agree
Blitzer says is absurd.

We all recall AT&T
And how inefficient it was.
When they took away your Bells,
You went to hell –
From a ring to a buzz.

So now you think
That you can come back from the brink,
Firing thousands you won't need
To fulfill the greed
Of your new crop of weak CEOs.

E-mail may dim our memories,
But we recall long-distance bills,
And all the reasons why we
Broke up AT&T.
