Parody Written by:

The Lyrics

You got something to say; it's the same refrain.
Your catchwords are concurrently coy and lame.
Your lexicon, you clown,
Is weak and flat.
You're a troll and a bore (snore!);
Your cant's too pat.

Well, every time that you're talking,
You're just a bag of wind.
First you handed out your latest line,
Then you gripped and grinned.
A vexing con and clown (con and clown),
A creep and rat
(You're vexing clown, a creep and rat).
You're a troll and a bore (snore!),
Your cant's too pat.

Everybody's grieves
When you open your oral cove.
They start to leave.
You talk in a way that empties the place.

Can't listen to you 'cause you hand us a line.
It's cant that you're reeling off. . .just a talking mime,
You are just a vexing clown,
A sneaky rat.
You've told all this before (snore!),
Your cant's too pat.

Everybody's heaves
When you open your oral cove.
Then they get peeved.
They're walkin' away; there's egg on your face.

Can't listen to you 'cause you hand us a line,
How much do you pay for each vote that you're buyin'?
A reelected clown,
A cat that's fat.
You're a troll and a whore (score!).
Your cash cache--fat.

Outstanding title switch.. kept wanting to Spoonerize it to "Your Pants Too Cat".... 555, and just illustrates what someone (cough) said about ya in a tribute posted this past Monday.

Thanks, Alvin, AFW, Jason, TT (I'd missed the tribute--many thanks; gotta print it out and head for the dictionary myself).

What? I succeeded? Sent JAB to the dictionary?... Hard to believe... it wasn't easy, trust me :)
stuart mcarthur - August 15, 2007 - Report this comment
the Beatles' cash-caches were definitely fat, JAB, and that's partly because the words that came out of their oral coves were so beautiful - like this parody - 555
Kristof Robertson - August 16, 2007 - Report this comment
Syllabically superb, JAB...hope this comment doesn't sound too pat. 555
