It’s Time For Our pledge Drive

(sung to the tune of “Away in a Manger”)

It’s time for our pledge drive, donations we seek

Didn’t we just finish up one last week?

It’s easy with our volunteers standing by

Just call us, we promise we won’t bleed you dry.

Give what feels comfortable, pony up cash

Try not to worry as stock markets crash

Forget about vanishing 401-K’s

Dig deep in your pockets, contribute today.

We’re earnest, we’re funny, and sometimes we’re smug

A mere hundred dollars gets you this great mug

Our valuable service you can’t get for free

Unlike those executives from A.I.G.

Help us in hitting that pledge drive home run

Five bucks a week, it won’t break anyone

We keep you connected, we broaden your mind

We gave you Obama, now it’s payback time.

The phones, they aren’t ringing, we’ll have to extend

Our fundraising til March of 2010.

But we could end early, by sometime this Fall

Please tell Warren Buffett to give us a call.

We’ll try to stay focused and hope we succeed

A listener bailout is just what we need.

Our work we’ll admire, our virtues extol

And we’ll keep on pitching til we reach our goal.
