It Shows How Little They Knew
A oil-based song parody of 'Stuck in the Middle With You' from Stealers Wheel. Yes, the pets are ours. Thanks to everyone for the nice emails about them...and the music.
A topical and funny songwriter and song parodist.
A topical and humorous songwriter and parodist.
Story behind the song
When big oil meets big government, we all get it in the end.

It Shows How Little They Knew
A Parody of “Stuck in the Middle With You” by Stealers Wheel
New Lyrics by Steve Bryant
Well I’ll tell you why I’m stuck here tonight,
All the gas prices are so out of sight.
It’s not funny, kind of like Jimmy Falon.
It’s way over 4 dollars a gallon.
Clowns are in the Congress,
Jokers in the White House,
They all stink,
It shows how little they knew.
It shows how little they knew,
Might be funny if it wasn’t all true.
I’m beginning to feel just like a martyr,
Like when I voted for Jimmy Carter.
Clowns in the Congress,
Jokers in the White House,
They all stink,
It shows how little they knew.
Well, we’re winding up with bupkis,
The administration shucked us.
No wonder why we’re hurtin',
Cheney works for Halliburton.
I said please….
Please!
Trying to make some sense of it all.
The economy is ready to stall.
Airline profits are falling right through the floor,
And the truckers just can’t take anymore.
Clowns in the Congress,
Jokers in the White House,
They all stink,
It shows how little they knew.
Well, we’re winding up with bupkis,
The administration shucked us.
No wonder why we’re hurtin',
Cheney works for Halliburton.
I said please….
Please!
We could have drilled for the oil off Key West,
China beat us and they’re getting our best.
We have lots of oil under Anwar,
But our politicians didn’t think out that far.
Clowns in the Congress,
Jokers in the White House,
They all stink,
It shows how little they knew.
