Nick And Don, The Song

drumkit - gerald dowd
bass guitar - k.c. mcdonough

baritone guitar and vocal - robbie fulks

My son and father-in-law were teamed for the twelfth season of the CBS series "The Amazing Race," in which contestants dash around the planet finding clues and taking on challenges until the last one left standing is awarded a million bucks. This Carl Perkins-y thing refers breezily to their teammates and experiences as if everyone in the world knows what the hell I'm discussing...just smile and play along.

Lyrics

It’s a little too big a planet
To take it on a three-week run
And can you get tough enough to hack it
Basking in the L.A. sun

CHORUS:
Nick and Don
Nick and Don
One call from the West Coast
And they were gone, gone, gone
Nick and Don
Nick and Don
Now if I want to find out where my family’s at
I’ve got to have my TV on

At 70, the old man is rugged
Still, he ought to wear some clothes
And my kid’s always been a lunkhead
Now I guess the whole world knows
Don is a camel-milking mother
Nicky is "the perfect bitch"
Hey, call ‘im anything you wanna
Just so long as you get rich

CHORUS:
Nick and Don
Nick and Don
In Osaka, buddy
That’s "perfect bitch-a-san"
Nick and Don
I mean, Nick and Don
You want to know what ass grandpaddy can kick
You got to have the TV on

Walking hot coals in Taiwan
Barfing on a rickshaw ride
Snatching a chick from an African chief
Man, you couldn’t make it up if you tried
Yeah, at first I was less than engrossed
Them Goths were the wrong kind of weird
But when Nick counted up the fenceposts
Boy, I jumped from my seat and cheered

CHORUS:
Nick and Don
Nick and Don
That foul-mouthed fencepost-figurin' phenomenon
Nick and Don
Nick and Don
Eleven weeks down, eight teams out
And I’ve still got the TV on

So T.K. and Rachel! Who’d'a thunk it?
That must have been some killer weed
Yeah but 10,000 bucks and a Cancun junket
Ain’t no chicken feed
These days Don’s up in the U.P.
Same Don he’s always been
Nick’s shacked up with a groupie
And I’m just trying to cash in

CHORUS:
On Nick and Don
Talkin' Nick and Don
The race is done
Oh but the legend lives on
Nick and Don
Nick and Don
Now if I want to find out where my family’s at
I’ve got to have my TV on
