The Lyrics

He is the Don of yell-"Fired!" And I'm pink-slipped.

Fired--I'm shamed; it's my turn;
Fired--I shall not return.

I have been spurned.

I fought hard, and I scraped and squirmed;
Never thought that I'd be spurned.
Towed the line, said, "Rosie's swine,
She, partner 'Spike,' a pair dykes.
Tara's fine--good's paradigm.
No fair! I'm in a paradise."

Oh no, a schmoe I go, oh woe!
It's now my turn.

Fired--it's destroyed my long run;
Fired--by the Don I'm undone.
I'm feeling spurned.

I'd been living in a silly world
Of a churl whose fur's unworldly-curled.

Cued to split, I'm spendin' time
Queued, idle. . .unemployment line.
Then it comes to me: a sign:
Audition for that Simon swine!

I go on show; they crow, "You blow!"
Again, my turn.

"Idol"--I croon tune and squirm.
"Idol"--I'm doomed; it's my turn.
"Idol"--junked, by judges undone.
Idyll--Paula polished my gun.

[fade on sounds of "Idol" loser contestants caterwauling]

Wouldn't you love to see "Celebrity Deathmatch," Donald vs. Simon? Actually, no. They're both too cowardly to throw anything except insults at one another. Anything that can rip both of them in one parody deserves a five.
