"(I Spent Just a) Bit More Than He'd Planned"

Parody Written by:

Arwen

The Lyrics

Perhaps a sequel to "Visa's Preferred"
Diamond rings
I got plenty
Fancy things
One too many

My budget's a fright
Went shopping tonight
I spent just a bit more than he'd planned

He will say
That I'm absurd
Just to pay
For a rare bird

I know I was wrong
My list was too long
I spent just a bit more than he'd planned

No, I didn't need a crystal snowman
But I couldn't seem to put him down
I'll say, "Are you angry?"
He'll say, "ARWEN!
Go get a job to pay my Visa down!"

Bought a new
Washer/Dryer
And a nice
Kitchen fryer

Admit that I paid
For some Ginsu blades
I spent just a bit more than he'd planned

I guess I thought we had cash to blow, man
But he's looking at me with a frown
Got him a CD by Lindsay Lohan
To play while I try on my Dior gown

Goes to show
I'm a villain
But you know
He'll be chillin'

His pride I can sway
Pout to get my way
He'll know he's lucky to be my man

Though I spent a bit more than he'd planned

I sympathise after I looked at how much we'd spent on Christmas presents!

I am not kidding when I tell you that my fiance and I had a VERY similar conversation last night. I told him he'd regret giving me a Master Card, but did he listen? Noooo. So I say it's his fault. Fabulous job!!

I've spent over a week trying to come up with a Christmas parody to a Christmas tune, and.. bupkus. Yet here you've done it. Masterfully. Bastard.
Arwen - December 22, 2004 - Report this comment
Pickle...I think it might not have been such a big deal if the money had been spent on present for other people...but a girl's gotta be good to herself, too, right?? Thanks!

Ash...Do you want me to give him a call? In arguments, everything is his fault. I could cross stitch it onto a pillow, too...if that would help. =)

Jeff...hee hee!

Tim...nicely commented, thanks!

AFW...please don't put it on the top shelf! I won't be able to reach it!!

Leo...I will award you three 5s...all for using the word bupkus! I love you!! Bastard.

Very clever, Arwen! I really enjoyed it! I'm giving this a 5-5-5.

Good thing you bought that new doghouse, Arwen.

LOL to the detail Arwen - your specialty (and LOL to Steven's comment) - guess you can't thank me though, in these times of comment embargo

(sigh) ah well.................

Nice one, Arwen. I didn't know just how much of a villain you were until today.

"ILLEGAL USE OF SWAYING. Results in loss of ONE dior gown to 'return policy'. PLAY-BALL, shoppers."
Arwen - December 22, 2004 - Report this comment
LOL, 2nz!! I'll admit...I'm a handful...only the strongest men (or the weakest, depending on how you look at it) can survive me...; )

He plans for your spending????? Does he not understand the concept of a blank cheque?

As usual, your song cracked me up :-)
Stuart McArthur - December 22, 2004 - Report this comment
Kristof, what's that thing called that's UNDER a statement again?
Arwen - December 22, 2004 - Report this comment
Kristof...=) But don't pretend you didn't already know that, darling!

Adam...I'll take a Visa Platinum over a blank check anyday...because, well...Visa is everywhere I want to be....; ) Thanks!!

Some good lines, but what about rhyming? Plenty and many don't rhyme, nor do snowman and Arwen. Couldn't you have made it snowmen?
Arwen - December 23, 2004 - Report this comment
You're clearly not singing it with a Rivendellian accent, Millard. Nice try though...
Jeff Reuben - December 23, 2004 - Report this comment
Artistic license, women's intuition, call it what you like. Plenty and many are close enough to work if you sing it.
Arwen - December 24, 2004 - Report this comment
And that, my friends, is why Jeff Reuben can always count on me to have his back...so don't mess with him...

Hey Millard...check this out:

In other words...I'm never wrong.

To that kind of behaviour I just put my foot down and say NO! (But I'll say yes to this parody).
Arwen - December 25, 2004 - Report this comment
Thanks, K1!
Millard - December 25, 2004 - Report this comment
Arwen, thank you for referring me to rhymezone.com. I will not argue with that resource, so I retract my criticism of plenty/many. What about snowman/Arwen?
Arwen - December 26, 2004 - Report this comment
That's where my accent comes in...
