The Lyrics
A truly straw-grasping parody of Little Anthony & the Imperials' 1969 novelty hit, "Shimmy, Shimmy, Ko-Ko-Bop"
“Timmy, Gimme Cocoa Puffs”
Whoa, oh oh ohohohoh - Wah!
Whoa, oh oh ohohohoh - Wah!
Chorus:
Timmy, gimme Cocoa Puffs!
Timmy, gimme Puffs!
Timmy, gimme Cocoa Puffs!
Timmy, gimme Puffs!
Sittin’ in the breakfast nook
Hopin’ for some chow.
Mamma say “Ain’t gonna cook,
Feed yoursef somehow.”
Timmy come along, sho’ nuff,
Lassie by his side.
Dog, she fetch him Cocoa Puffs
Wag her tail wit’ pride.
I say
Timmy, gimme Cocoa Puffs!
Timmy, gimme Puffs!
Timmy, gimme Cocoa Puffs!
Timmy, gimme Puffs!
If yo’ t’ink’ what happen den
Like some TV jingle
It ain’t … ya betta’ t’ink again,
Dis make yo’ scalp tingle:
I say “Lassie, git me some”
She look at Tim real calm
He say “git yo’ own, ya bum,
Unless ya grease m’ palm.”
I say
Timmy, gimme Cocoa Puffs!
Timmy, gimme Puffs!
Timmy, gimme Cocoa Puffs!
Timmy, gimme Puffs!
Timmy, gimme Cocoa Puffs!
Timmy, gimme Puffs!
I cain’t reach de’ cupboard, so,
had t’ pay de price …
Life ain’t like no TV show
Dog an’ boy ain’t nice!
If dey fin’ ya in quicksand
Dog’ll grab yo’ t’roat
Den dey sell a helpin’ hand
Fo’ de price Tim quote.
Timmy say “Dat bizness, now”
An’ Lassie say “Bow-wow!”
I say
Timmy, gimme Cocoa Puffs!
Timmy, gimme Puffs!
Timmy, gimme Cocoa Puffs!
Timmy, gimme Puffs!
(Fade, repeating chorus)
Whoa, oh oh ohohohoh - Wah!
Whoa, oh oh ohohohoh - Wah!
Chorus:
Timmy, gimme Cocoa Puffs!
Timmy, gimme Puffs!
Timmy, gimme Cocoa Puffs!
Timmy, gimme Puffs!
Sittin’ in the breakfast nook
Hopin’ for some chow.
Mamma say “Ain’t gonna cook,
Feed yoursef somehow.”
Timmy come along, sho’ nuff,
Lassie by his side.
Dog, she fetch him Cocoa Puffs
Wag her tail wit’ pride.
I say
Timmy, gimme Cocoa Puffs!
Timmy, gimme Puffs!
Timmy, gimme Cocoa Puffs!
Timmy, gimme Puffs!
If yo’ t’ink’ what happen den

Timmy, gimme Puffs!
Timmy, gimme Cocoa Puffs!

(Fade, repeating chorus)
... and you thought the original lines were doggerel! My question about my own lyrics is, just how desperately hungry must the narrator have been to eat, much less pay for, Cocoa Puffs? Yuk! :-) © Stan Hall

LMAO.....a perfect exanple of surreal hilarity...i'm gonna be thinking of this one all day
I'm cuckoo for this parody.
Loved de dialect diction, mon.
Awwww..i LIKE cocoa puffs. Or at least I did - I think they've since 'improved' all the flavour out of them. Anyway, very unusual parody.
~ Who Got 'da Hide ? ~
All of SFO Bay is asking tonight,
who got Tigger's hide?
So elegant & equisite was ana-Tati
Is she now a rug for Gavin's
Hot Nights of moaning " Qui . . .Qui "??
~ ~ ~
This G-man is smokin; and
I don't mean ~mj~
For it's his "token" that
be relentless at play!
~ ~ ~
Geragos is filin' everything he can, but
sweetGavin has it over any man! His
hair is most thrillin', & his eyes how
they melt, the heart of any maiden
who's admitted to Mayor's Mansion
to caress his fameous pelt.
~ ~ ~
Ahhhh. . . this man of lusty pleasure,
out here by the Bay, from his Lady's
" navel station" he sips DomainChandon
Napa, Cuvee! From the moannin' we hear
from ~Pacific Heights~ tonight,
TatiAna is another fixture of
~ Gavin's Delight ~
Gave me *way* more than my 100% of my RDA (righter's diction addiction)
. . . sorrry Sir, I got a little carried away from that . . . ~ Napa Cuvee ~ !
