This is the great old song by Pete Seeger and popularized in my time by Peter Paul and Mary. I was thinking. What if Lewis Black backed up by Richard Lewis made a recording and video for this song. With both dressed in black, they would look like the anti-blues brothers.
Richard Lewis: Not so loud, I just went from morning to evening in two seconds, Just don't start singing about trees. (looking back over his shoulder for who knows what)
It is hard to go wrong with good material and yet......
Lewis Black: If I had a HAMMER, I would hammer in the MORNING! (shaking finger at the sky)
Lewis Black: I would HAMMER in the EVENING, (spit flying everywhere)
Richard Lewis: What, all over this land, geez, really, ok, whatever. (hanging head low)
Lewis Black: I would hammer out JUSTICE, I would HAMMER OUT A WARNING! (take a drink of water)
Lewis Black: I would hammer out all the love BETWEEN brothers and Sisters, ALL over this FREAKIN Land. (Takes two steps forward swinging arms)
Richard Lewis: Not all over the land again, been there already. Hammer the brothers and the sisters. Always with the violence. I told you about the anger, I don't know, you are right! Whatever. (holding hand up over his head, with head hanging low)Anyway, just a thought. You get the idea.
