LYRICS for Take 'Em All Down, Fani
by David Cohen
I phoned in to make a fuss, was seethin' and a seein' red.
The call was so perfect, so I could win instead.
"Hey Bradley, can you help me and find more votes?" I pled.
He just laughed and hit record. "NO!" was all he said.
Take 'em all down Fani.
Take ‘em down I plea
Take 'em all down Fani.
And (and) (and) Take the blame off a’ me.
I amped up my swag, went looking for a dupe to chide
When I saw a bottle and Rudy sitten' side by side
I said “Hey Rudy, come help me save my crown"
He said that'll only work, if my scotch can stick around"
Take 'em all down Fani. Take ‘em down I plea
Take 'em all down Fani. And (and) (and) You take the blame off a’ me.
Took down Ms. Ellis, she copped out right away.
And then there's John Eastman, waitin' on his Judgment Day.
Well John my friend, don't you dare go take a plea.
I said, “Do me a favor man, won't you lie and keep all of ‘em company?"
Take 'em all down Fani. Take ‘em down I plea
Take 'em all down Fani.And (and) (and) you take the blame off a’ me.
Crazy Ginni follows me, as she lives life in a fog
She said, “Well I can fix it all" and texted Mark her blog
I said, “Way to go Ginni, Now that's a risky scam"
She said "that's OK though, I told Clarence ‘bout the plan!"
Take 'em all down Fani. Take ‘em down I plea
Take 'em all down Fani.And (and) (and) you take the blame off a’ me.
Fetch some Huggies now, 'cause I'll soon be doin' time.
My shorts are riden' low, but I don't believe that's a crime.
To get back to Miss Fani, she is not the only one
who’s got me in their sights. It looks like I am done.
Take 'em all down Fani. Take ‘em down I plea
Take 'em all down Fani.And (and) (and) you take the blame off a’ me.
