[Magdalen] Huntley and Brinkley

[James Handsfield]

From a Mad Magazine too many ears ago.  Sung to the tune of Frankie and Johnny.  I wonder how many with understand.

Huntley and Brinkley were newsmen
Giving the news on the air
Dave said "We'll switch to Chet Huntley."
But Huntley was not there

Chorus:
Chet was Dave's man
But he done him wrong.

Brinkley jumped onto an airplane
A jet that was New York bound
He said "I won't leave that big city
"'Til Huntley I have found."

Chorus

Brinkley walked into the news room 
And, golly, he almost died.
'Cause there in the news room was Huntley
With Eric Sevareid.

Chorus

Now you can take Martin from Lewis
And you can take Desi from Lu
But if you take Huntley from Brinkley
Then NBC is through.

Chorus

-----------------
Thinking one can behave their way into heaven is an insult to the very foundation of salvation.
