The Lyrics
Where has all my standards gone and where's my dignity?
Where's my smart-ass girlfriends to say he's no good for me?
Isn't there a limit on how much I can take?
Late at night I sit and regret of the mistake that I made
Chorus:
I met a weirdo, I'm going out with a weirdo from the other night
He's a little bit strange and he's slightly deranged and he's doesn't seem to be too bright
I met a weirdo, I'm going out with a weirdo I thought was Mr. Right
He's very bizarre and he takes things too far and he makes me fear for my life
Fear for my life
Sometime after midnight he calls me on the phone
Talks about his bellybutton, I wish he would leave me alone
Clothes pins on his nipples and likes to shave his feet
It's gonna take a restraining order to keep him away from me
(Chorus)
I met a weirdo, I'm going out with a weirdo from the other night
He picks his boogers and runs it through his hair
He's always biting at his knees
I could swear that he's out there somewhere stalking me
He belches out old Lawrence Welk songs
And he farts and he smells
I would dump him but I can't find no one else
(Chorus)
I met a weirdo, I'm going out with a weirdo from the other night
Where's my smart-ass girlfriends to say he's no good for me?
Isn't there a limit on how much I can take?
Late at night I sit and regret of the mistake that I made
Chorus:
I met a weirdo, I'm going out with a weirdo from the other night
He's a little bit strange and he's slightly deranged and he's doesn't seem to be too bright
I met a weirdo, I'm going out with a weirdo I thought was Mr. Right
He's very bizarre and he takes things too far and he makes me fear for my life
Fear for my life
Sometime after midnight he calls me on the phone
Talks about his bellybutton, I wish he would leave me alone
Clothes pins on his nipples and likes to shave his feet
It's gonna take a restraining order to keep him away from me
(Chorus)
I met a weirdo, I'm going out with a weirdo from the other night
He picks his boogers and runs it through his hair
He's always biting at his knees
I could swear that he's out there somewhere stalking me
He belches out old Lawrence Welk songs
And he farts and he smells
I would dump him but I can't find no one else
(Chorus)
I met a weirdo, I'm going out with a weirdo from the other night

Well written and superbly executed 555
that's not a real person, is it ?!
I dated a guy like that once. It was icky.
Strangely this reminds me of my last boyfriend. Still, when you're a weirdo you often date werdoes :)
OMG! This was PRICELESS! LOL!
(Artistry) Pretty darned funny. Very Arwenesque (extra points for writing in the POV of a girl--I'm only assuming you are a guy by your screen name)
I agree with Aggy, very Arwen-like. I enjoyed it.
Marvellous :-D (he says, as someone who wrote on a similar theme "Going out with a weredoe"... which is here: www.amiright.com/parody/80s/bonnietyler3.shtml )
very funny and well paced. The only thing i didn't like (and i'm surprised Agri didn't mention it !) is the (chorus) bits is nice if you change the choruses or at least write them in.

This is Arwenesque. Very funny.
I saw my name on this one too many times to NOT stop by...=) Nice work, Mr. Squirrel. It could be my theme song. Found out today that I'm actually in need of a date for a work related event in a couple of weeks...so this weekend will probably be spent trolling through the weirdos to find me a winner...=)
(Artistry) However, belching out old Lawrence Welk songs is a big hit with the boys in the bar. Enjoyed this!
Likes to shave his feet - going out with a hobbit? This was good.
(Artistry) I agree with the consensus (is that the right word?) that this is very Arewn-esque. Very well done as well.
(Artistry) Mikey Mikey Mikey, I really like your thinking . . .You had some grammar errors in spots, but your pacing was pretty good. I enjoyed the lyrics. Stay away from those Weirdos in the future. . .as Arwen knows--they are bad for ya:)
ABC4 (G) Weird you think this one up at? Well done.
(ABC4)Still weirdo-ic!
(ABCG) Already recently commented:)
(ABC4G) See above, Senor Squirrel.
I remember reading this in the Disney round, and I agree with my previous self, this is very Arwen-like.
(ABC4-G) I'm KICKING myself that I missed this first time round, Mikey...solid gold humorous writing here; I've got a real soft spot for dating tales of woe. Bravo! 555+
Lawrence Welk gets a lot of bad press, and correctly so - this was beautifully paced and very funny with the detail, Mikey - 555
