The Lyrics
More of the Susn "Genie" Wiley story from the '70s...
A living hell for you
abused all the time
HOW could they do such horrible things to you???
Had you cryin’
Had you dyin’
HOW could you stand it?
Trapped in a cage all day
Never learning to speak
It’s like they threw you away…
A living hell for you
abused all the time
Immoral crimes…
We love you Genie
We love you Genie
We love you Genie
You’re NOT a Wild Child
not feral, not an animal
Just went through painful ordeals
Set free, you can heal now
You never were a Wild Child
A living hell for you
abused all the time
(oh, how the heart cries)
abused all the time
HOW could they do such horrible things to you???
Had you cryin’
Had you dyin’
HOW could you stand it?
Trapped in a cage all day
Never learning to speak
It’s like they threw you away…
A living hell for you
abused all the time
Immoral crimes…
We love you Genie
We love you Genie
We love you Genie
You’re NOT a Wild Child
not feral, not an animal
Just went through painful ordeals
Set free, you can heal now
You never were a Wild Child
A living hell for you
abused all the time
(oh, how the heart cries)

As they say "Music tames the savage beast.", and so does this "heartwarming" parody! :-) 555!
"Music hath charms to soothe a savage breast, to soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak."
I really out to get to know this song, and do a parody of it as well. :-)
Sorry, it should be "ought to" not "out to" :-(
