Friday Night Fights--Jonny Rivers Style

(With fullest apologies to Johnny Rivers, P.F. Sloan, and S. Barri)

Hawkeye isn't happy that the U.S. government has foisted the U.S. Agent upon the West Coast Avengers...let's watch (and listen)

There's a man who leads a life of danger
To the West Coast Avengers he's a stranger
With every move he makes another chance he takes
Odds are he won't live to see tomorrow

U.S. Agent man, U.S. Agent man
They've given you a shield and taken away your name

Swingin' in Avengers Mansion one day
And then layin' out Haweye on the next day
Oh no, he let the wrong word slip
While flapping his stupid lips
The odds are he won't live to see tomorrow

U.S. Agent man, U.S. Agent man
They've given you a shield and taken away your name


Captain Walker lays down the musical law in West Coast Avengers #45 (1989). Does anybody still think Hawkeye knows enough unarmed combat skills to pass himself off as Ronin? Really?


Lyrics and song follow...and dig that guitar:
