The Lyrics
O show me a home
where the buffalo roam,
and I'll show you a messy house
which would be a deathtrap
for a dog or a cat,
but just might be fit for a mouse.
Home, this home's deranged
where the beer and the cantaloupe lay,
the walls nearly fell,
and the floor looks like hell,
and the foul odor drifts far away.
The red wine's no more,
it's all over the floor
with bottle shards strewn 'cross the way.
This house is a mess,
causes me great distress
but I don't think that FEMA will pay!
Home, this home's deranged
where the beer and the cantaloupe lay,
the walls nearly fell,
and the floor looks like hell,
And the foul odor drifts far away.
But what can a cantaloupe say?
where the buffalo roam,
and I'll show you a messy house
which would be a deathtrap
for a dog or a cat,
but just might be fit for a mouse.
Home, this home's deranged
where the beer and the cantaloupe lay,
the walls nearly fell,
and the floor looks like hell,
and the foul odor drifts far away.
The red wine's no more,
it's all over the floor
with bottle shards strewn 'cross the way.
This house is a mess,
causes me great distress
but I don't think that FEMA will pay!
Home, this home's deranged
where the beer and the cantaloupe lay,
the walls nearly fell,
and the floor looks like hell,
And the foul odor drifts far away.
But what can a cantaloupe say?

That one hit close to home for me, too. :D
LOL!!
I think I used to babysit at that house years ago.
(ABC3-T) No buffalo here, but my apartment's a mess too. I think I'll hum this on the way home.
(ABC3) Well done, I wish there were more verses!
(ABC3-T) More verses would've been welcome, but short and sweet will do.
(ABC3T) DKTOS, but read well.
DKTOS but on that's deranged
(ABC) I wish you'd vary the choruses, but I liked what you have!
(ABC3T) I can see why Adagio liked this! - bizarre Mike! - 555
(ABC3T) I love the "beer and the cantaloupe" subs for the original. Good work, Michael. 555
Be it ever so humble....
(ABC3T) Adorably odd...it put a confused smile on my face. 55
(ABC) Gotta love them stream-of-quasi-consciousness-parodies! LOL!
(ABC3-T) I was hoping for more, too. This was great,especially the "but I don't think that FEMA will pay!" line. 5s, 5s, for McVey!
ABC...I'm with Kristof...this was a fun read and it made me smile...even if it didn't make any sense at all...=)
