Warren Zevon: Mr. Bad Example

I liberated a beat-up cassette tape from the basement of WORT the other day.  Lo & behold I found a funny song with lyrics that fit me too.  It's - who else - Warren Zevon:

I got a part-time job at my father's carpet store
Laying tackless stripping & housewives by the score.
I loaded up their furniture & took it to Spokane 
Auctioned off every last naugahyde divan.

Of course I went to law school & got a law degree 
I counselled all my clients to plead insanity.
Then worked in hair replacement swindling the bald 
Where very few are chosen, fewer still are called. 

-  "Mr. Bad Example" (Mr. Bad Example album, 1991)
