Song for Andy Richter

Late at night when he needs someone to talk to I'll be sitting right here at my desk Even when they're silent, I'll be laughing Laughing's always been what I do best Some are here to bless us with their talents Placed on earth to bravely tread the boards But fame is an elective that I have bypassed Supporting him is my only true reward Vanna White does more than flip the letters She does more than you will ever comprehend Sidekick doesn't seem to do it justice Somewhere between a servant and best friend Some folks put guys like me in cages The foolish try to clip the wingman's wings The wise ones place me right there on their shoulder And revel in the harmonies I sing Some might call the work I do paid flattery And some might say that I'm a sycophant But I won't be replaced with some hip jazz man Or a homosexual robot skeleton Vanna White does more than flip the letters She does more than you will ever comprehend Sidekick doesn't seem to do it justice Somewhere between a servant and best friend And I know that I'm not the one that you came for I am only here to help prepare the way So put your hands together And welcome our host out to the stage Vanna White does more than flip the letters She does more than you will ever comprehend Sidekick doesn't seem to do it justice Somewhere between a servant and best friend Oh, I suppose I'm somewhere between a servant and best friend
