The Lyrics
You had yourself, a scary little kid, miss.
Smoking crack each night,
Now your son's so troubled it just isn't right.
You had yourself, a scary little kid, miss.
For your mistakes, he'll pay,
Don't know who the father could be anyway...
Watch him wasting his youth away,
Steeling every day,
And more...
He's not in school, and now he's a dunce,
Just cause you were once,
A whore.
You get high while dressed up all in leather,
It should not be allowed,
Not the kind of life of which you should be proud,
And you have yourself, a scary little kid, miss,
Now.
Smoking crack each night,
Now your son's so troubled it just isn't right.
You had yourself, a scary little kid, miss.
For your mistakes, he'll pay,
Don't know who the father could be anyway...
Watch him wasting his youth away,
Steeling every day,
And more...
He's not in school, and now he's a dunce,
Just cause you were once,
A whore.
You get high while dressed up all in leather,
It should not be allowed,
Not the kind of life of which you should be proud,
And you have yourself, a scary little kid, miss,
Now.

One of those satirical tunes that are funny and make you think. Another winner.
Decent pacing, serious overall message, somewhat funny but too tragic to be hilarious - all in all a very good piece of work, Leah 5-4-5
Scary? The kids just warming up to run for president, right? :-)
This is just downright poignant. I've seen women like this and the kids they produced (it's just as scary as you portray). The song flows with the original. The juxtaposition of the tune from a peaceful song and haunting lyrics really makes one think.
Great job Leah!
Hey Leah - you were kind enough to read, vote, and comment on my recent parody of Simon and Garfunkel’s “I Am A Rock” called “Leonard Played Spock”, so I’m inviting you to come on over and check out my new parody of “I Am A Rock” called “I Am A Chalk”:

Sad ! Excellent story, Leah. Very well done.
Leah - This is serious parody if there is such a thing - I think I just made a new oxymoron. Excellent message here. I really like this one. I voted all 5's and substituting profound in place of funny .
K1chyd - Is this what happened to Clinton?

I agree...profound! Very much so! 5's
Yes, I agree with all of you, this parody was originally supposed to be funny, but due to my work in human services and my knowledge of the unfortunate reality for some kids, I kind of got carried away. Not exactly a "brighten your day" parody. Johnny, I have much respect and appreciation for your direct invitation approach. ;-) I haven't gotten through all of today's yet, since we are aparently now on the double-dose system!
Good stuff, Leah. I saw the title and just had to read this one! Having raised five myself, I lknow kids can be VERY scary!! Fortunately, none of my five have been quite THAT bad - lol! Sadly, though, this describes my sister-in-law to a tee. Of her four, (the same amount of husbands she had, btw) three are total wrecks and one rejected her and is doing great. Very sad. I knew them all from birth and they were lovely kids. Of course, there but for the grace of God . . .
