The Lyrics
ft. Timbaland. I'm sure this has happened before... Not to me... but to some other completely unrelated third party whom I have no knowledge of and... I'm just gonna stop now.
Intro: Oh, oh, no…
Oh, oh, no…
Verse 1: I’m in love with girl
Got me floating off the ground
And I’m hearin’ all she says
Can’t afford to propose now (huh…)
Was groc’ry shopping one day
A man sold me a ring he found
Oh yay!
I’ll tell my girl I’m sorry
Didn’t know I had been clowned
Today
Chorus: That it’s cubic zirconium
Not diamonds!
I said it’s cubic zirconium
Bad timin’! (uh)
No…
Verse 2: Give me another chance
Get a ring, go to Kay for you
I need a little cash for this ring
Sold kidneys too (ooooooh)
I promise it’s no plastic ring
But it’s up to you
And you say…
“Sorry, hon you got duped”
I don’t know what I can do
And I’m afraid!
Chorus: It’s cubic zirconium
Not cubic!
I said it’s cubic zirconium!
I ruined!
Whoa!!!!!!
[Instrumental Break]
Chorus: Hate cubic zirconium!
I hate it!
I said why make cubic zirconium
Don’t make it!
Chorus: I said I hate cubic zirconium!
Nooooooo!
I said just lose cubic zirconium!
Gooooooo!
Outro: I’m in love with you girl
Don’t let this ring get you down
Oh, oh, no…
Verse 1: I’m in love with girl

You sold both kidneys? You're supposed to keep one! Good parody.
What!!! LOL!
Well now due to curiosity I looked it up and know what cubic zirconia is now. Learn something new everyday
The rock was fake, the humor here isn't!
(ABC) The zirconia was fake, but the votes are real..555 carrots..
(ABC) "If you like it, then you should a put a ring on it" but I guess the ring should be real huh? LOL! So funny, definitely a step up from your more recent stuff. The D-Mon is back!!!!!
Nice work! Now whenever I propose to my girlfriend, I'll make sure to not buy a ring from some random guy in a grocery store! haha, nice job!
(ABC) Good thing she said "sorry, hon" instead of just throwing your arse out. That'd really suck. A few of the lines were a bit weird and out-of-place to me, but otherwise this was a solid parody. 555
Could be worse. It could be one of those plastic rings from the machine in the grocery store.
This original is a personal favorite, it doesn't really easily lend itself to parody. Your idea was solid (no pun intended) and I love bringing Zirconium into a parody, but despite the title it was fairly predictable where it was going, still solidly written. . .and on the funny side.
