Ed McMahon rapping. That's one of those oxymorons George Carlin used to talk about. Like jumbo shrimp and military intelligence.

But this one ain't no oxy, kids. This one's for real.

ET reports that Johnny Carson's financially troubled former sidekick  "took to the streets of Hollywood decked out in hip-hop gear and full-on bling to rap for a new Internet video campaign."

Lyrics:

When I retired, I was famous, I had money and glory / I bought a house for 6 mill / I thought nothing could touch me / Until my credit went south, and debt started to crunch me / Next thing I know, instead of playing gin rummy, I was scrambling just to make ends meet / It wasn’t funny.”

Got a bump from the media chumps, but that was temporary / Wife with bad credit was scary, so I got wise / I may have fallen, but I got back up / Now I’m back on the attack, like a ninja swinging nunchucks / I told the haters, ‘Go on, take a hike’ / It’s my show now, and I can do what I like."

Three letters. O. M. G.

Are we supposed to laugh or cry? Or both?

Find out when ET airs a sneak peek at the viral video tomorrow night  (Friday, Sept.  26).
