The Lyrics
I had previously submitted this but, left out the second bridge. No need to vote or comment again, unless you like the second bridge.
Pruned liver. Why do I just smile?
I tossed my lunch a mile today
Oh, drink maker, you tip taker
Whatever you're making,
They're making me sway
Twin sisters? No, there's just one girl
But quite a lot of girl is she
I ask, "IS YOUR NAME GWENDOLYN ??"
"Take a hike, my friend"
Her knuckles tear my chin
Pruned liver, can't see
As the beautiful instrumental interlude fills the air,
our hero takes a number of well-placed punches to the face.
None of these hurts very much, due to his drunken state and,
he continues to smile. This has an infuriating effect on Gwendolyn
(whose real name is Jim), a Queen Latifah impersonator
with the drag troupe, "Gals with Balls",
which is appearing at the theater next door.
And now, back to our song.
Oh, a haymaker, a jaw-breaker
A shot to the middle, some spittle, I spray
Pruned liver, off the seat I'm hurled
The room begins to swirl, I pee
Her laughter's insane! Elbows bent
Ways they shouldn't bend
Knees buckle, it's the end
Pruned liver . Poor me
I tossed my lunch a mile today
Oh, drink maker, you tip taker
Whatever you're making,
They're making me sway
Twin sisters? No, there's just one girl
But quite a lot of girl is she
I ask, "IS YOUR NAME GWENDOLYN ??"
"Take a hike, my friend"
Her knuckles tear my chin
Pruned liver, can't see
As the beautiful instrumental interlude fills the air,
our hero takes a number of well-placed punches to the face.
None of these hurts very much, due to his drunken state and,
he continues to smile. This has an infuriating effect on Gwendolyn
(whose real name is Jim), a Queen Latifah impersonator
with the drag troupe, "Gals with Balls",
which is appearing at the theater next door.
And now, back to our song.
Oh, a haymaker, a jaw-breaker
A shot to the middle, some spittle, I spray
Pruned liver, off the seat I'm hurled
The room begins to swirl, I pee
Her laughter's insane! Elbows bent
Ways they shouldn't bend
Knees buckle, it's the end
Pruned liver . Poor me

Quite possibly the funniest-but -most-non-sequiturial song title ever written (in other words-- I don't understand what the title has to do with the rest of the song, but I loved the whole thing anyway). 555
Thanks, Agri. This drunk has a "pruned liver" damaged from years of alcohol abuse. I used it to describe him, instead of words like "rum bum" or "wino".
Pruned liver..sounds like a tasty dish to me...and a funny write..5's
Rick C - I missed it the first time around, so I'm glad you put this up. AFW - and hey, you don't even have to cook it...it's already been completely fried...5's, Rick ~ ~ ~
I thought this was going to be a song about bad food, but this concept is funnier!
With my love of internal rhyme and alliteration, how could I not love the second bridge? I voted before, but having come to that bridge, happy to cross it. Take three more Fifths... hope no one finds out the connection the hard way, on their own liver.
Teeheehee
You done good Dick!
Very funny Rick! 5's
Could be worse, could be a yellow liver, which would then be fried in some cold smoked brie! (Shout-out to Johnny D.) Five orbits around the Moon for this one.
where the OS was from the movie to Truman Capote's "Breakfast At Tiffany's" you could have submitted this one for "Capote" itself, Rick, as Truman died of a pruned liver I believe - hilarious middle section and perfectly done -555
Thanks, AFW, Paul, PMS, TT, Kat, Lois, Adagio, MP and Stu!
DKTOS, but good one, fives
Thank you, Larry.
(SOTM) Larry, "Moon River" is an old, old song by Andy Williams, but I guess you already gathered that. Anyway, just wait till Nelson Muntz (is that how you spell it?) reads this parody; he loves this song (which is ironic for a school bully). I thought this was gonna be about a grandpa eatin' prunes and lettin' wind. But the only thing old here is the song and it's singer. I loved the whole she's-a-dude concept! Great work, Rick! 555
(SOTM) see above
(SOTM) Have you been taking surrealism lessons from Adagio, Rick? The interlude had a bit of a Monty Pythonesque quality to it, that was nice.
(SOTM) I'll drink to this! I was glad to see the explanation of pruned liver in the comments above - I didn't get it either, but now it all fits. Enjoyed this!
(SOTM) I've never had an alcoholic drink in my life, and I don't think I'm going to start. Funny stuff.
Wow.... That middle part was pure unadultured genious, and the rest wasn't too bad either.... 555 Bottles Of Beer On The Wall
SOTM - I think Jack Daniel's does the original best. ;-)
(SOTM) In a twist on Scathe's comment, I'm too young to drink, but when I'm old enough, I'm not gonna start. The parody's great, no matter your drinking status.
SOTM-DKTOS
(SOTM) See previous comment, and excellent matching to TOS. You gonna record this one Rick? I think you could do Andy Williams quite well.
(SOTM) Would sound great with ORGAN music! 5s!
Nice one, Rick. Have to admit that "Gals With Balls" gives me an idea (for a parody, of course. To some Duran Duran tune - I wonder if anyone's done it already?)
(SOTM) see above - this song is beautiful and so ripe for parodying, and perfect for your masterful creative madness, Rick
(SOTM) See above.
SOTM...LOL! This is great, Rick...I honestly loved i!
I'd like to thank Christ BTM, too, for reminding me about Nelson's love for Andy Williams. HOLY COW I love that episode where they go on that road trip!!

(SOTM) This has to be one of the freakiest parodies I've ever read. But then, drunks are funny stuff (unless you're the drunk).
