As I was browsing the Theocracy site and boards as I often do, I decided to look at the mp3 files to see if I missed any. I came across "The Gregarious Raconteur"... I listened to it, and I don't especially understand. What is the song? Is it another of those "April Fools Day" songs like Skeletor Goes To Mars? Or is it just an unreleased song? Either way, it's pretty good, so does anyone have the lyrics to post on here?

EDIT: I saw on Wikipedia that it was about John O'Connell, but I'd still like the lyrics.

"Complex Litigation, this is John"

[Theocracy:]
Johnny's worried 'bout the Yanks again
Pushing an eleven on a scale of one to ten
Legal mind and staunch Republican
His love for A-Rod wavers like a candle in the wind

He still misses the Mighty Whale
And wonders why the Yankees failed
To get Johan Santana when they had the perfect chance
A bastion of legal knowledge
Cries 'cause his beloved college, Holy Cross,
Stunk up the joint and didn't make the Dance


Oh, you had us at hello, Jack-O
The man, the myth, the legend
The Gregarious Raconteur
Oh, Babe Ruth to Joe DiMaggio,
The greatest Yank of all is the Gregarious Raconteur

Enemies of Boston sports, arise
Fall behind your leader, litigate and terrorize
Jack-O and Hank Steinbrenner, your guides
Johnny's on a mission, you can see it in his eyes

Clemens is his favorite villain
Mike Wallace and penicillin
'04 ALCS is his painful albatross
C.T. throwing down the gauntlet
Johnny's mad and likes to flaunt it
But if he comes to Charlestown, C.T. might pepper his sauce

Oh, you had us at hello, Jack-O
The man, the myth, the legend
The Gregarious Raconteur
Oh, Babe Ruth to Joe DiMaggio,
The greatest Yank of all is the Gregarious Raconteur

Oh, you had us at hello, Jack-O
The man, the legend, Gregarious Raconteur
Oh, Babe Ruth to Joe DiMaggio,
The greatest Yank of all is the Gregarious Raconteur, ahh!
