Song Parodies -> "For Whom Tolls Bell? Thee. . .You"
Original Song Title:
"I Put a Spell on You"
(MP3)Original Performer:
Screamin' Jay Hawkins
Parody Song Title:
"For Whom Tolls Bell? Thee. . .You"
Parody Written by:
John A. Barry
The Lyrics
For whom tolls bell? Thee. . .you.
The sound is thine.
'cause no man (and no woman, too)
Is an island
Like remote Iceland,
A small speck of land that
Has got frozen ground--
Bare bedrock that's stranded
In Atlantic, no others around.
Poet didn't tell with "you"
If friend of thine.
"Thee"'s fine.
Back then, "you"
Had forms two:
Formal "you."
Like Deutsch "du," that was "thou."
In cases where
'twas objective: "thee."
"Thine ox," "thy cow.
Thou hear'st me?
Participle of "do,"
'twas "donne." Cows: kine.
[fade on sound of bells tolling]
The sound is thine.
'cause no man (and no woman, too)
Is an island
Like remote Iceland,
A small speck of land that
Has got frozen ground--
Bare bedrock that's stranded
In Atlantic, no others around.
Poet didn't tell with "you"
If friend of thine.
"Thee"'s fine.
Back then, "you"

Thanks, Alvin, for this and the rest. Not too long before I give it a rest.
