The ASCAP Song 
The Ascap Song 
(J.O. Thereditor) 
Who controls the music from "c-sharp" to shining "c"? A-S-CA & P A-S-C-A-P! 
Who's got Woody Guthrie spinning in the cemet'ry? A-S-CA & P A-S-C-A-P! 
Pay it up! (shout: "Pay it up!") Pay it up! (shout: "Pay it up!") Forever let 'em get a royalty! (shout: "Tee! Hee! Hee!") They got all the lawyers 'cause they got the dough-re-mi.
 A-S-CA & P A-S-C-A-P! 
So be sure to pay your dues, by Royalty Decree, A-S-C- (etc.) So They can send more lobbyists to Washington D.C.
 A-S-C- (etc.) As - Cap! (Duck solo: "BMI!") As - Cap! (Duck solo: "BMI!") You never get to sing without a fee! (big bass solo shout: "Fie! Foe! Fum!") (slower:)
 Now it's time to say goodbye to all our revelry. 
(real slow:) A  -  S  -  C  - - (spoken solo:) "See you in court!" A  -  and  -  P  - - (spoken solo) "And please pay promptly" 
(Full orcestration, five part harmony, and all kinds of things:) A - - - S - - - C - - - A - - - P - - - ! 
note: ASCAP may never get over the bad press incurred when it tried to
 collect royalties from the Girl Scouts. RG Copyright Justan O. Thereditor (c) 1996 JOT OCT98
