Big Fur Hat asked me to write a tribute to Andrew Breitbart. The inspiration was a memorial gathering we attended for him in a little out-of-the-way bar in New York city.
I never even met the guy but he was a friend of mine
He fought the good fight day and night and always made us smile
Our hero took a fall but we can heed his battle call
So from every packed convention hall to any venue big or small
In every once forgotten dive across this nation far and wide
Now we'll shed a tear but we'll have no fear 'cause
Breitbart is here Breitbart is here
Our fearless soldier for the cause endured the Slings and Arrow Wars
From government to Hollywood, we knew he'd make it "Big"
If we faced an angry mob, he would be our lightning rod
So from every packed convention hall to any venue big or small
In every once forgotten dive across this nation far and wide
Now we'll shed a tear but we'll have no fear 'cause
Breitbart is here Breitbart is here
We'll remember the things he used to say
Come November we'll finally win the day
Our hero took a fall but we can heed his battle call
So from every packed convention hall to any venue big or small
In every once forgotten dive across this nation far and wide
Now we'll shed a tear but we'll have no fear - we know he's here
So from every packed convention hall to any venue big or small
To every once forgotten dive across this nation far and wide
Now we'll shed a tear but we'll raise a glass 'cause
Breitbart is here Breitbart is here....
I never even met the guy but he was a friend of mine
