The Lyrics
It’s caught lots of saps. . .
Think we’ll check out
In 2012 because they’re crazy.
Why can’t they see
That it’s all fantasy;
They believe soon will be judgment day.
It’s just a con that’s senseless,
This fictitious Mayan
“Prediction”; it’s a scream,
Ridiculous Mayan.
So, to the flick I will go;
Special effects will blow
Your mind, and you will not believe your eyes.
But that’s where it ends—
The world doesn’t, friends.
It’ll be years before we’re all dying.
It’s a put-on that’s baseless,
This fictitious Mayan
“Prediction”; it’s a scream
This silliness Mayan.
How does this junk survive?
Wool’s pulled over gulleds’ eyes—
This is Nostradamus lite.
It’s funny, although,
Some people think it’s true.
Tsk, tsk, tsk!
Think we’ll check out
In 2012 because they’re crazy.
Why can’t they see
That it’s all fantasy;
They believe soon will be judgment day.
It’s just a con that’s senseless,
This fictitious Mayan
“Prediction”; it’s a scream,
Ridiculous Mayan.
So, to the flick I will go;

Your mind, and you will not believe your eyes.
But that’s where it ends—

See my take on the same subject "The Channel Needs a-Changin'". Anyone who thinks the United States is still going to be around for the 2012 apocalypse is a wild-eyed optimist. Funny song.
At least they got 'Titicaca' right! Suspiciously funny stuff, John--and as true believers might say, "Enjoy the first of your last three New Years!"
I put less belief in the Mayan Calendar than I do in Marie Callender! ;D
I'm admayran this parody.
I like your prediction much better than theirs..
Mayan 'con' de'-bunked!!!...555!!!
Very optimistic parody, John. I also don't believe in the Mayan Calendar or Nostradamus. I see it as a message that we need to change our ways and make some changes. I echo all comments above. 555.
Hey there, ~ EL SenorNueve ~, no problema con los Mayans .
Pirate JackBarrow, this evening as you toast the new Year/Decade, please stay ~Dry & High~, SirSweaty ! !
Nostradamus lite, indeed! Outstanding title and very good parody.
