That Lyin' Frey

The whole scandal behind the James Frey's debunked book, "A Million Little Pieces," has even tainted Oprah Winfrey. Since Frey has been proven a liar, a parody of the Eagle's "Lying Eyes" seems appropriate. I present for your pleasure:

That Lyin' Frey

A city girl just seemed to find out early
How to become the queen of daytime TV
She became rich and she don’t have to worry
This is the story of Oprah Winfrey

After many years trash TV gets tiresome
Even though her ratings bring such a high price
And it breaks her heart to think her show is only
Just like Jerry Springer with household advice

So she tells her audience they should do some readin'
She brings out books and passes them around
She starts out with some classics, then a deceivin'
Book called "A Million Little Pieces" came around

You can’t hide thet lyin' Frey
His whole story is just a guise
Her viewers don't want to realize
There ain’t no way to hide that lyin’ Frey

On the other side of the dial Larry King is waiting
He's also invited James Frey on TV
His show goes on all hour anticipatin'
What will be the reaction of Oprah Winfrey?

She rushes to the phone, they talk together
She whispers that it’s not such a big deal
She swears that Frey has helped people forever
She tells him that lies have the power to heal

You can’t hide that lyin’ Frey
His whole story is just a guise
Her viewers don't want to realize
There ain’t no way to hide that lyin’ Frey

She knows that her defense must be strong one
She knows she must not lose her power base
America's attention span is not a long one
If she keeps on lying, she might just save face

She wonders how it ever got this crazy
She thinks about when Bush & Gore kissed her ass
Her production staff probably just got lazy
She’s so far gone she thinks she still has class

My, Oprah, you sure know how to arrange things
You set it up so well, so carefully
Ain’t it funny how your weight is all that changes
You’re still doing the same old trash TV

You can’t hide that lyin’ Frey
His whole story is just a guise
Her viewers don't want to realize
There ain’t no way to hide that lyin’ Frey

There ain’t no way to hide that lyin’ Frey
Wake up! Oprah's no better than this guy!
