Parody Song Title:

"They're My Lyrics"

Parody Written by:

Tim Mayfield

The Lyrics

Nobody knows where my meter has gone
Rhyming left the same time
Why would I keep writing bad
Others suppose it should rhyme

They're my lyrics and I'll rhyme if I want to
Rhyme if I want to, rhyme if I want to
Could rhyme haiku if I wanted it to

Writing my lyrics, keep writing alright
Leaving out words is a crime
Take lyrics seriously
I've got no reason to rhyme

They're my lyrics and I'll rhyme if I want to
Rhyme if I want to, rhyme if I want to
Could rhyme nouveau if I wanted to grow

(off beat break)

Rythm and rhyming don't walk hand in hand
They both fight in my head
It is just like I surmised
Rhyming words is now dead

They're my lyrics and I'll rhyme if I want to
Rhyme if I want to, rhyme if I want to
Could rhyme emend if I wanted to end
