  1. "Inch By Inch" Carl Burger's parody of David Mallet's "Garden Song" (as performed 8/14/13, Orcas Island, Eastsound Episcopal Church Brown Bag Concert series)

    Inch by inch, row by row
    Gotta let this garden go
    Experts tell me “no, no, no -
    You’re too close to the shore!”
    Inch by inch, row by row
    Where do all my flowers go?
    GMA and CAO
    Not like it was before.

    EPA and NRC
    Audubon Society
    DNR and DOE
    All showing us the way.
    People For the Puget Sound
    Earth First, Greenpeace, Common Ground
    Friends enough will come around
    And guide me through my day!

    Flinch by flinch, blow by blow
    See the paid consultants grow
    Where it ends, I just don’t know
    Where did we lose control?
    Grinch by Grinch, ho ho ho!
    Smile as all the buzzwords flow:
    “Organic” “Downsize” “Macro” “GreenSmart”
    Sustain our Public Dole!

    Inch by inch, row by row
    Gotta let this garden go.

    (Spoken) “A public service announcement, brought to you by this station, the Ad Council, the Center for Science in the Public Interest, the Union of Concerned Scientists, the National Science Foundation, and the Coalition of People Who Know a Lot More than You Do.”
