Dar Williams', "Alleluia"
The Funny Lyrics:
This cryptofascist mania is silicon deliria, 'Yes', she said. 'You're right, but I like the cafeteria'.
Why They're funny:
The whole song's just about as crazy as this, this is just my particular fave line.

Dar Williams', "The Christians and the Pagans"
The Funny Lyrics:
And where does magic come from? I think magic's in the learning,
'Cause now when Christians sit with Pagans only pumpkin pies are burning.
'Cause now when Christians sit with Pagans only pumpkin pies are burning.
Why They're funny:
Earlier in the song, the mother of the family dodges a religious question by exclaiming that the pies are burning. I love the way she references past verses, and the obvious allusion to the Salem trials.

Dar Williams', "The Pointless Yet Poignant Crisis of a Co-ed"
The Funny Lyrics:
I'm not a leader, i'm not a left - wing rhetoric mobilizing force of one,
But there was a time way back, many years ago in college - don't laugh,
But I thought I was a radical, I ran the Hemp Liberation League with my boyfriend.
It was true love, with a common cause, and besides that, he was a Sagittarius.
But there was a time way back, many years ago in college - don't laugh,
But I thought I was a radical, I ran the Hemp Liberation League with my boyfriend.
It was true love, with a common cause, and besides that, he was a Sagittarius.
Why They're funny:
Dar has some classic lyrics. These are only a few.
