The Lyrics
Yet another reason to conserve energy!
Plugs...will befuddle me
When I re-pair my TV
Help I’ll soon require...
Now I’m caught in this pile of wires!
I’m ensnared in this tangled mass of wires!
The AC must work...so I don’t perspire!
As I twist and turn, I might expire
Because of wires!
Call the doc, since it’s looking pretty dire!
Tried to fix the grill--who knew it had fire?
It is clear to see I’ll soon retire
From handling wires!
True, I’m no handyman
Got trapped inside that fan!
If I just remove a screw
Blackouts will surely ensue...
This arrangement’s provoking lots of ire!
Since I’m caught in knots, all my bills climb higher!
I will spurn, spurn, spurn this net of wires...
These freakish wires!
My tech skills sure won’t put me up for hire!
All these big black cords make for strange attire!
Batteries sound good...I don’t admire
This use of wires!
I’ll no longer be a frequent buyer
Of things with wires!
Oh, curse these wires!
Confound these wires!
When I re-pair my TV
Help I’ll soon require...
Now I’m caught in this pile of wires!
I’m ensnared in this tangled mass of wires!
The AC must work...so I don’t perspire!
As I twist and turn, I might expire
Because of wires!
Call the doc, since it’s looking pretty dire!
Tried to fix the grill--who knew it had fire?
It is clear to see I’ll soon retire
From handling wires!
True, I’m no handyman
Got trapped inside that fan!
If I just remove a screw
Blackouts will surely ensue...
This arrangement’s provoking lots of ire!
Since I’m caught in knots, all my bills climb higher!
I will spurn, spurn, spurn this net of wires...
These freakish wires!
My tech skills sure won’t put me up for hire!
All these big black cords make for strange attire!
Batteries sound good...I don’t admire
This use of wires!
I’ll no longer be a frequent buyer
Of things with wires!
Oh, curse these wires!
Confound these wires!

The country version of my "Are You Naive 'Round Gadgets"... I love it!
Wow. I must say, this is a shocking parody.
(Ages) That's wire getting 555. (nyuk, nyuk)
You and I are SO alike, Cat! This was excellent, and incredibly close to home. 555
Nice parody, and I'm sending the 10 year-old that I use to hook my stuff up over to your place.555
Ah, Johnny Cash!!!! And tangles wires are also a problem for computers and VHS/DVD players!
A Cat tangled in wires. . .hmmm. . .somehow. . .That makes sense, my cat (when I lived in St. Louis) always got tangled in wires, so makes sense to me.
(Ages) Yeah BAD, I liked that Cat wrote about tangled wires too. I thought it got better as it went along, to the point I had to LOL at "My tech skills sure won’t put me up for hire!"
