write my own version.
Fellas, key of D for derivative.
I'm ready, pretty bitty, I'm ready, pretty bitty,
I'm ready, oh, ready to go steady with you,
do -do -do -do -do, steady with you.
I got a girl named Anne
and one named Sue,
but they can't do what pretty bitty can do.
I sound more like Elvis than Elvis,
but the song doesn't chart.
So, oh God, Kirsch and I hit the country trail
blazed by Von Monroe with Riders in the Sky.
Yee -haw! An old cowpoke went riding out
one dark and windy day.
Yee -haw! Upon her edge, she rested
as he went along his way.
Okay, brace yourselves. There
is a mermaid in the sea,
her eyes of darkness blue.
And sailors say they only see her
when a storm is due.
She stretches out her loving arms
and looks so innocent
But the men who meet her
never leave a minute to repent
Believe it or not, I can sink lower
Fats Domino's got a big fat hit
with Ain't That A Shame
Every big singer is covering it
Including me! I'm big now
You made me cry when
you said goodbye
Ain't that a shame?
My tears fell like rain
It's time to show
Things I hate the same
It's time to say
And if you call my name
It's fuckin' lame
You'll be callin' it shame
I bring my low -fats rip -off
over
to the biggest radio DJ in New York,
Murray the K
Well I believe your lies
But now, I'm wise.
Don't call my name.
It's not a flop, but it's not a hit.
More like a tweener.
They keep having me copy
all these other singers.
How am I supposed to find my own sound?
Mother had another one of
her brilliant ideas in the tub.
A song title. Splish Splash, Take a Bath.
And fifteen minutes later...
