A Modest Proposal With Yams

What I'm going propose now...strumming my acoustic air guitar

Is that one Nick Zone member strolls right into Mr. Carter's Office and drops on his desk a yam (or a sweet potato if you can't find one) and sings a few bars of this theme song

So sing along now

Mr. Carter, you can't get anything you want from Alex's exodus. Mr. Carter, you can't get anything you want from Alex's exodus. You're more than half a mile off your track. We're fans that are walking and won't be back. Mr. Carter, you can't get anything you want from Alex's Exodus.

You just walk into his office, sing a few bars, and walk right out.

See what's gonna happen is that if one person, just one person does it they may think he's really sick and they'll check that yam for bombs. And if two people, two people do it, in harmony, they may think they've got folie a deux and they will start to get scared. And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in singing a bar of Alex's Exodus, dropping a yam, and walking out. They may think it's an organization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day, I said fifty people a day walking in singing a bar of Alex's Exodus, dropping a yam and walking out? And friends, they may think it's a movement.

And that's what it is, the Alex's Exodus Anti-Massacre Movement, and all you got to do to join is sing it the next time it comes around on the guitar.

With feeling. So we'll wait for it to come around on the guitar, here and sing it when it does. Here it comes.

Mr. Carter, you can't get anything you want from Alex's Exodus. Mr. Carter, you can't get anything you want from Alex's Exodus. You're more than half a mile off your track. We're fans that are walking and won't be back. Mr. Carter, you can't get anything you want from Alex's Exodus.

That was horrible. If you want to save Alex and stuff you got to yammer it out loud. I've been singing this song now for twenty-five minutes. I could sing it for another twenty-five minutes. I'm not proud... or tired.

So we'll wait till it comes around again, and this time with four part harmony and feeling.

We're just waiting' for it to come around is what we're doing.

All right now.
