The Lyrics
domino's was a pizza shop
and when a pizza was ordered, then off i'd hop
to the little truck, i'd start a-walkin'
i'd be drivin' for several blocks and...
for that address, i'd be a-stalkin'
then i'd hand 'em those pizza pies
so fast, they'd be surprised
the only job that i knew completely
was the job of a pizza man
the only job they could ever teach me
was the job of a pizza man
yes, it was...it was...ooh, it was
bein' quick isn't always easy
deliverin' pizza pies
i'd hop in the truck and be zoomin'
i'd be hopin' that the address was right
badly scribbled, i hope its alright
or their dinner'd be cold tonight
the only job that i knew completely
was the job of a pizza man
the only job they could ever teach me
was the job of a pizza man
yes, it was...it was...ooh, it was
cut well, not dismembered
all the toppings spaced just right
messy pizzas are such a fright
thirty minutes from bake time
any later, a big crime
burnin' hot with cheese a-glowin'
right unto your table goin'
the only job that i knew completely
was the job of a pizza man
the only job they could ever teach me
was the job of a pizza man
yes, it was...it was...ooh, it was
i got a job that is truly peachy
i got a sweet little job as a pizza man
the only job they could ever teach me
was the job of a pizza man
and when a pizza was ordered, then off i'd hop
to the little truck, i'd start a-walkin'
i'd be drivin' for several blocks and...
for that address, i'd be a-stalkin'
then i'd hand 'em those pizza pies
so fast, they'd be surprised
the only job that i knew completely
was the job of a pizza man
the only job they could ever teach me
was the job of a pizza man
yes, it was...it was...ooh, it was
bein' quick isn't always easy
deliverin' pizza pies
i'd hop in the truck and be zoomin'
i'd be hopin' that the address was right
badly scribbled, i hope its alright
or their dinner'd be cold tonight
the only job that i knew completely
was the job of a pizza man
the only job they could ever teach me
was the job of a pizza man
yes, it was...it was...ooh, it was
cut well, not dismembered
all the toppings spaced just right
messy pizzas are such a fright
thirty minutes from bake time
any later, a big crime
burnin' hot with cheese a-glowin'
right unto your table goin'
the only job that i knew completely
was the job of a pizza man
the only job they could ever teach me
was the job of a pizza man
yes, it was...it was...ooh, it was
i got a job that is truly peachy
i got a sweet little job as a pizza man
the only job they could ever teach me
was the job of a pizza man

One of those "why didn't I think of that" titles... great idea, beautifully executed. (I love the idea of "Disty" Springfield, too)
You've topped this off real nice....great line..cut well, not dismembered...authentically correct...boxed perfect

Hey pizza guy - do you still have that special of 5 pizzas with 5 toppings for $5.00. Please deliver to 555 Domino Blvd. Starvinville, Ia. 55505 in the next 5 minutes. Please hurry. There's a $5.55 tip if you can get here fast. Thanks.
What Phil said and this is a nice fresh idea just like Papa John's toppings.. Well done sir Alvin.

Sounds like you're writing from experience. A tough job and I'm sure underappreciated. Well done.
Funny idea to a favorite OS. I could read one of your parodies every day...wait a minute...I do.
If you can make a good pie, you don't need to know how to do anything else.
Well done and ..extra thin. I loved the way it flowed along, with an extra jaunt in it. 5's
