Beg, beg, beg, beg,
Beg, beg, beg, beg.

I work for Public Radio, it really is a hoot,
They let me do their begging ‘cause they think my voice sounds cute;
I come along at drive times, I reappear at noon,
You can’t avoid my cloying pleas: “Send money or we’re doomed.”

Beg, beg, beg, beg,
Beg, beg, beg, beg.

I whimper and I threaten, I tell a silly joke,
My endless repetitions are enough to make you choke;
I beg between commercials, I peddle ‘tween the whines,
A sponsored charity seems odd, but no one seems to mind.

Beg, beg, beg, beg
Beg, beg, beg, beg

When donors are too slow to call it puts me in a snit,
How dare they keep their checkbooks closed and fail to do their bit;
I say in no uncertain terms, I make it crystal clear,
You send the dough or I’m the only thing you’re gonna hear.

Beg, beg, beg, beg,
Beg, beg, beg, beg,
Beg, beg,
Beg, beg,
Beg...
