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.
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)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)
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.
