The Lyrics

My PC bit the dust last week so, until I get it fixed, I'm down to hourly sessions in the local library. I'll have to catch up with any comments the next time I'm in there (probably some time next week).

To the people who submit parodies that I would normally comment on - I'm not deliberately ignoring yours. By the time I've checked emails, and posted a new parody, my one hour session is all but over.


My neighbour, Jo, is new
Her true love is brew
Oh
She is coarse when fried
Dumb thing when pie-eyed
Would not want to ride

She’s squashed my mutt, who’s blind
Cut him, head to ‘hind
Oh
With his parts in flour
Bakes ‘em ‘til they rise
Broke pet’s in four pies

Then she quaffed beer an’, the pies, she scoffed
To think she could eat my dog!
For today, on grog, she’s blown away
And I’m without my dog
(Without his dog)

Now switching brews, an' snide
Beer’s insecticide
Oh
If you rile, you pay
When a lovely pet dies
Folk gets to despise

Broke pet’s in your pies

Telegraphic title...Kinda' Chinese theme-ish..and I guess, your neighbor, Jo, believes in that old adage, "A hair of the dog"...Good bark, er, (dark) humor, here

Sometimes the pie-eyed dumb things are the best ride... and you're going to MISS Friday's posts? Screw the emails, etc., TT's will be a "Major" epic, if ya get my drift....

This is why I shelled out (heh) for a second computer, though not at all affluent. Just can't afford to be without one these days. Great wordplay in a clever and original twist on an old fave, and the syllable-matching was the cherry on top of the dog - I mean, sundae. Top Fives.

Another meaning of "Hair Pie". LOL!!! It reminds me of one of my favorite Tom Lehre songs "The Irish Ballad", about a girl that murdered her whole family. It had the classic line: One day when she had nothing to do, sing rikkity tikkity tin, One day when she had nothing to do, she cut her baby brother in two, And served him up as an Irish Stew, And invited the neighbours in, Invited the neighbours in.

Thanks AFW, TJC, TT (not in hurry to fix - spend too much time on it, so a welcome break) & Mark (great lyrics, I'll have to check it out)
