(PLEDGE DRIVE VERSION)
We're raising money and we need contributions
So you may as well call us
Cause we won't go away (hey hey hey).
This public station needs you all to be members
So we hope you will call us or we may do something rash.
We'll bring in marching bands and Boy Scouts and elephants,
And we'll surround your house
And we'll come inside (and find you).
We'll come upstairs and we will
Look on the dresser and we'll
Open your billfold and we'll take your credit card.
We're raising money cause this station is non-commercial
Listener supported and we
Need you to call (so wake up)---
We wouldn't ask you if it
Weren't that we need you
So please go to your telephone
And make your pledge today.
