The Lyrics
On my first day of rebirth,
My program brought to me:
A powerless car battery
On my second day of rebirth,
My program brought to me:
Two shrinks with drugs
And a powerless car battery
On my third day of rebirth,
My program brought to me:
Three dead ends
Two shrinks with drugs
And a powerless car battery
On my fourth day of rebirth,
My program brought to me:
Four cliping boards
Three dead ends
Two shrinks with drugs
And a powerless car battery
On my fifth day of rebirth,
My program brought to me:
Five men-tor-ings
Four cliping boards
Three dead ends
Two shrinks with drugs
And a powerless car battery

My program brought to me:
Six priests absolving
Five men-tor-ings
Four cliping boards
Three dead ends
Two shrinks with drugs
And a powerless car battery

Clever! Wasn't life simpler then?
Clever. 5's
Some find 12 stepping sacred. The only thing sacred to me is life itself and maybe the First Amendment. Beyond that ANYTHING is fair game.
Good job!
Considering that this has been parodied so many times before, good job, especially with pacing.
I agree with 2nz.
Thanks all who voted and commented on this. I sense displeasure by some readers as is indicated with some of the low votes on this song. I assure anyone who thinks I was slamming 12 step programs that this was not the intention of this parody. This author tried to condense each step into a terse line that best described it and paced and rhymed with the original. That was the idea that gave birth to this parody. And I would think that some humor is needed for those who follow and live by these 12 steps. Sometimes humor is all that is left in certain situations.
Sorry...I just don't find it amusing.
Oh man..where's the humor?! I thought it was hilarious! I've been in the 12 step program,well...about 12 times. Noticed all the 1's there Guy-that bites.Here's some 5's-not that it compensates for their attacks-but I for one,go on pacing # 1-it's of utmost importance to me-then humor.You did great on both. TC : )
5,3,5 because it wasn't funny.
