[Spoken:]
She climbed the wall, and she fell way down
And hurt herself, really bad
And when she went into the E.R.
The medics said “She’s stone dumb!”
I broke my back and I’m gonna be in trouble
(Hey-la-day-la, I broke my neck)
I leaped from skyscraper, fell hard on the sidewalk
(Hey-la-day-la, I broke my neck)
I been layin’ low in full-body cast
(Hey-la-day-la, I broke my neck)
So look out now cause my gurney’s goin’ through
(Hey-la-day-la, I broke my neck)
(Hey, they knows that you been tryin')
(And he knows that you’re tryin’ dyin')
I’m paralyzed, from head to my toes
(Hey-la-day-la, I broke my neck)
Fed by spoon, the gruel, it tastes bad
(Hey-la-day-la, I broke my neck)
I’m gonna be sorry that I ever jumped
(Hey-la-day-la, I broke my neck)
In a nursing home, yeah, it really bites
(Hey-la-day-la, I broke my neck)
(Hey, they know I wasn't stupid')
(Now I’ll never get a Darwin*)
(What made me think he'd believe what I did?)
(He’s dumb, my shrink)
(I’m a big girl now, and he treat me like a tot)
(He’s dumb, my psych doc!)
I broke my neck, I'm a total quadriplegic
(Hey-la-day-la, I broke my neck)
If I were you I'd never jump from a skyscraper
(Hey-la, hey-la, don’t break your neck)
Yeah, I broke my neck
(La-day-la, my neck is broke)
I know now, yeah, I’ve got just one
(La-day-la, I’ve got one neck)
Itchin’, and I can’t move
(La-day-la, can’t move a thing)
So you better keep from jumpin’
(La-day-la, I want to walk)
Alright now!
(La-day-la, I broke my neck)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(La-day-la, I broke my neck)
I’m paralyzed, I am
(La-day-la, I broke my neck)

Uh-oh. I just noticed I put the wrong word ("back", not "neck") into the first stanza of the sung section. Please excuse my faux pas... :-)
This puts a humorous perspective of the neck injury! Very well written and great as always, Andria!! Oh, and in regards to faux pas, I knew what you meant. I have the tendency to make those kind of mistakes sometimes. Oh, and I remember seeing this movie "The Paperboy" where this teenage girl climbs on the antenna to get back to her bedroom window, which is locked and then the antenna gives away, causing her to fall hard on the ground and become paraplegic. Oh, well, here's 555 neck braces as well as $555 worth of medical care for this one.
BRACE yourself CASTing fives you're way...funny (in a sick sort of way) concept
Thanks, Christie and Alvin.
You've given a nice TWIST to this
Thanks for v/c, AFW. I always appreciate your comments. :-)
Liked the title switch and "gurney goin' through". Only thing missing was the rhyming. OS rhymes AABB in main verses (Lines 1&2 rhyme; Lines 3&4 rhyme), and AA in the bridge (lies/size vs. did/tot; reputation/vacation vs. quadriplegic/skyscraper) ... etc. all the way through.
ABstaining (hehe) from voting, in the hope that maybe you can rework this to rhyme as per OS? ... in which case it would be a clever LEAP from a classic rock oldie.

You have sick sense. 5's
Thanks for comment and constructive criticism, TT... I accidentally forgot to save this parody to my computer's hard drive, so I'll likely have to copy and paste from this page and redo it, and thanks Lionel. I am indeed a sick person, my mom called me a deviant once, I thought it was a compliment, and she told me that she didn't mean it like that.
This song looks like it was a pain in the neck to write, 555 Advil tablets to ease the pain.
Thanks, blackjack21. It wasn't actually all that hard to come up with the idea, what was hard about it was to come up with all the substitutions for the original lyrics, with the spoken section in particular. Altogether, it took me 2 days to write.

Thanks, Ann. I've always wanted one of your short and sweet comments on one of my parodies, and I finally have one. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Pretty much what Tommy said, but I gave you 5s anyway for a humorous idea worked into an easily singable rendition. Plus, just seeing the OS title gives me a few ideas that may turn up soon.
Thanks for v/c, Stan, and I'm glad I gave you ideas. But hopefully not the idea of jumping off the top of the Empire State Building! :-)
