Talk Time lyrics

Intro Man:
That a course was one of the latest hits by the Yoopers from Ishpeming, Mich. (coughing) Oh these cigarettes, I love ‘em though. You’re listening to Y-O-O-P radio, National Mine Mich, the one-watt golden voice of Tilden Valley. Stay tuned next for Talk Time with Ernie Potila’s boy Joe (coughing) Take it away, Joe

(Further coughing, and accordion music begins)

Joe:
Hey Toivo, cut the music. Hey, that’s good
(off-key accordion noises)
Producer:
Hey when Joe says stop, he means stop, eh?
Joe:
Good morning to you all and welcome to Talk Time on this cold snowy crappy miserable lousy day. I hope you all had a good weekend, I know I didn’t. My water pipes froze and split so I jumped in the Chevy to pick up some elbows and unions and went in a ditch over by the 4-way stop
So I walked up to Woody’s bar and called the wife to bring the Plymouth. So then SHE got stuck with the Plymouth, and I had to wait for tree hours. When she finally got there and we were leavin' the bar, she stepped on my hand and broke two fingers, so I never did get them water pipes fixed
Oh well, that's the way it goes in the U.P., I guess
Now let’s get down to business, you got something to buy, sell, or trade? Give us a call at 4061 or 4062 and we’ll be back with our first caller after this message

Ad Man:
Milltown Loggetts. That’s right, folks - Milltown Loggetts. The all-wood, all-natural un-charcoaled briquettes. Ideal for barbecuing, campfires, wood stove and fireplace fuels, smoking fish and game, and firestarters. 100% natural hard wood
And when the party gets dull, throw a few in the toilet, and watch em swell! Walla - instant party crap! Fool all your friends - ha ha ha! Scatter a few on the rug, put a couple in a chair, or leave a few next to the old turlet. Sit back and watch your friends get sick and throw up
For fun and fire, that's Milltown Loggetts. Milltown Loggetts
Wood - one of nature’s most abundant, renewable resources

Joe:
Ok, we’re back. This is Talk Time, and we’re ready for caller number one, go ahead, caller number one

Joe:
Ok, this is Joe from Talk Time, we’ll be right back after this message
Ok, now listen - you want me to lose my job or something? You can’t say 'sh*t' on the radio! Now there’s priests and old ladies and little kids out there listening. And the FCC'll pull our license, I’ll be back out on the farm, I don’t wanna work on the farm
