Parody Song Title:
"Away From You"
Parody Written by:
Aussie Bob
The Lyrics
Loosely based on a true story
Why do flies
Suddenly appear
Everytime you are near
Not like me
I want to be
Away from you
Why do birds
Fall out from the sky
Everytime you walk by
Not like me
I want to be
Away from you
On the day you did not bathe
The yobbos got together and decided
To create a "Black Gandalf" true
So you neglected washing your hair
For many years, you stank up the world, with eyes of No.2
That is why all the dogs in town
Follow you all around
Not like me
I want to be
Away from you
On the day you did not bathe
The yobbo's got together and decided
To create a "Black Gandalf" true
So you neglected washing your hair
For many years, you stank up the world, with eyes of No.2
That is why all the dogs in town
Follow you all around
Not like me
I want to be
Away from you
Not like me
I want to be
Away from you
Suddenly appear
Everytime you are near
Not like me
I want to be
Away from you
Why do birds
Fall out from the sky
Everytime you walk by
Not like me
I want to be
Away from you
On the day you did not bathe
The yobbos got together and decided
To create a "Black Gandalf" true
So you neglected washing your hair
For many years, you stank up the world, with eyes of No.2
That is why all the dogs in town
Follow you all around
Not like me
I want to be
Away from you
On the day you did not bathe
The yobbo's got together and decided
To create a "Black Gandalf" true
So you neglected washing your hair
For many years, you stank up the world, with eyes of No.2
That is why all the dogs in town
Follow you all around
Not like me
I want to be
Away from you
Not like me
I want to be
Away from you
Black Gandalf refers to me mate. Often he doesn't have any showers. Imagine Gandalf from Lord of the Rings but black hair instead and you will have my mate there.

Hahahahaha piss funny mate, all 5's!!! Nice to see more Aussie parodyers in here, I especially loved your "Mate, I Feel Like A Yobbo" parody, that was the best!!!! I'm an Aussie parody writer myself and have written a lot of yobbo/Aussie related parodies, you can check them out on my page http://www.amiright.com/parody/authors/troy.shtml . Cheers mate!
I actually heard a similar parody of this song back in 1974 from a Canadian dude.
