The Lyrics

With the news of the imminent shutdown of submissions, I (Pippin) thought I had better pull my thumb out and get these into cyberspace while there was still time. I had been waiting for Merry to leave work and start doing parodies again, but this ship is sailing before hers. So, this is one of a number of submissions over the next few days that have been sitting in the vault - most for over 10 years.

Original song on YouTube. PS: What's going on with the background in the video? Yike.

I oft wake up in mornin'
To the sound of rodents rooting ghastly tunnels in my things
And all my junk it seems to rise
And reach the ceiling, tips, creates a looming hazard

I lost my new Verizon
I discern remote commotion of insistent hidden rings
And through these heaps to persevere
There’s tiny pathways running through my choking bedrooms

Oh! Make U-turn! That way is blocked through
Is it obscene, accruing stuff that I procured, of?
My house is strewn with gross disorder
My place a blight, reclusive cluttered sty of stuff

You might have heard my footsteps
Crunching softly on the pizza boxes stacked up and inclined
All of those pulltabs I’ve reclaimed
And trash cans lurching filled with fun things like old clothes pins

You might have seen me rummage
Through the cans the neighbors put out, for some treasures left behind
If you condemn things, I’ll ensnare
Outside amassed more, looks as though my shed is breedin’

It’s a concern, what I’ll bump into
It’s my great scheme to charge some money: to take tour of
It has no theme, my nest of plunder
Embracing my reclusive cluttered sty of stuff

(instrumental interlude: March of the Wooden Clothespins)

Ye Gods! In dreams, I buckle under...
Escape this blight: reclusive cluttered sty of stuff
