The Lyrics
My mum has taken it on herself to declare wars on next door. Why no-one knows.
Ever since our neighbours changed my mum’s been very pissed
She seems to have put the bloke on top of her hit list
Hearing her go on you’ll want to slit your wrist
He has 50 ways to aggrieve my mother
At least 50 ways to upset my mother
Cut the hedge at the back, Jack
Have a 5 year plan, Stan
Don’t build on your home, Jerome
Just listen to me
You want her on your side, Clyde,
Or she’ll be tanning your hide
Just keep the peace, Reese
And dump your JCB
When he took the fence down we really heard her cuss
She sworn weekend and really made a fuss
Then the Council told her it belonged to them not us
One of the 50 ways he aggrieved my mother
He cleared the garden and did make quite a din
Mum’s acted like killing trees was some immortal sin
Forgetting she chopped down a load when we first moved in
There are 50 ways to aggrieve my mother
Cut the hedge at the back, Jack
Have a 5 year plan, Stan
Don’t build on your home, Jerome
Just listen to me
You want her on your side, Clyde,
Or she’ll be tanning your hide
Just keep the peace, Reese
And dump your JCB
She seems to have put the bloke on top of her hit list
Hearing her go on you’ll want to slit your wrist
He has 50 ways to aggrieve my mother
At least 50 ways to upset my mother
Cut the hedge at the back, Jack
Have a 5 year plan, Stan
Don’t build on your home, Jerome
Just listen to me
You want her on your side, Clyde,
Or she’ll be tanning your hide
Just keep the peace, Reese
And dump your JCB
When he took the fence down we really heard her cuss
She sworn weekend and really made a fuss
Then the Council told her it belonged to them not us
One of the 50 ways he aggrieved my mother
He cleared the garden and did make quite a din
Mum’s acted like killing trees was some immortal sin
Forgetting she chopped down a load when we first moved in
There are 50 ways to aggrieve my mother
Cut the hedge at the back, Jack
Have a 5 year plan, Stan
Don’t build on your home, Jerome
Just listen to me
You want her on your side, Clyde,
Or she’ll be tanning your hide
Just keep the peace, Reese
And dump your JCB

Hey, great job on this 70s song, but I have a criticism about the title: you used the past tense (aggrieved). However, the parody overall is nicely paced, I have to give you credit for that.
50 ways to bother Mother . . . This is very good, Sir. It's a different take on the OS, but I like it!
