The Lyrics
a modern suburban house-to-house male stripper instead of the legendary dancer of the original song
1.
I knew a man, Joe Bangles, and he'd dress for you
in bras and slips
In garter belts and furry pelts connected with
gold fastened clips
He cross-dressed so fine
Cross-dressed so fine
Then he'd pull it undone
2.
He'd model wear and end up bare from house to house
throughout our town
The women would come and men, some would gather and
they'd come unwound
He'd let go a strap
And as it snapped
You could hear them all yell, "Please! Please!"
(CHORUS:)
MR. JOE BANGLES
MR. JOE BANGLES
MR. JOE BANGLES
prance
3.
He pranced for those who liked his clothes and loved his hose
and paid him tips
He spoke of years of tops and rears adorned with chains
and leather whips
He shook his booty
And as he shook his booty
I heard my own wife yell, "Please! Please!"
(REPEAT CHORUS)
I knew a man, Joe Bangles, and he'd dress for you
in bras and slips
In garter belts and furry pelts connected with
gold fastened clips
He cross-dressed so fine
Cross-dressed so fine
Then he'd pull it undone
2.
He'd model wear and end up bare from house to house
throughout our town
The women would come and men, some would gather and
they'd come unwound
He'd let go a strap
And as it snapped
You could hear them all yell, "Please! Please!"
(CHORUS:)
MR. JOE BANGLES
MR. JOE BANGLES
MR. JOE BANGLES
prance
3.
He pranced for those who liked his clothes and loved his hose
and paid him tips
He spoke of years of tops and rears adorned with chains
and leather whips
He shook his booty
And as he shook his booty
I heard my own wife yell, "Please! Please!"
(REPEAT CHORUS)

Great job! At least Joe's dog didn't die at the end of this one.
this is "High-heel-larious"...very well done...only complaint, wish it would have been longer, maybe with more of a story form, like the original...nevertheless..excellent pacing and rhyming. paints a funny image.
I'm not too sure about this one, but at least you didn't confirm my fears that it might be about a guy who loves the Bangles... I like them, but they did do one of the most awesomely bad songs of all time: See my parody "Eternal Song." Then again, this guy might give "Eternal Flame" a whole new meaning!
I agree with AFW
Bo sure put the "jangles" to your wife. You still married? heh heh. This is classic. By any chance did Mr. Jangles wear a size 5 dress? =:-) This deserves a 5 star general salute!
