The Lyrics
Won't go changin' to please nobody,
This shirt I've worn since last July
It ain't that bad now, here in September
Most persperation stains are dry
Can't spare the water to take a shower
Dog just ran off, his name was Sam
Most neighbors moved out,
But, that's there problem,
I Love Me Just The Way I Am
These jeans are blue, beneath the surface
A body only needs one pair
Till they get holes, they'll serve the purpose
At night they stand nice by the chair
I don't believe in that old sayin'
The clothing is what makes the man
My ass is covered, that's all that matters,
I Love Me Just The Way I Am
At the workplace, they know when I arrive
Most of the smoke alarms go off
I have to take the bus, no car to drive
Unhealthy, everybody coughs...
Some people pass out when they're near me,
Or hold their nose, who gives a damn?
I'm pleasin' myself, and I'm still happy
I Love Me Just The Way I Am..
I Love Me Just The Way I Am
This shirt I've worn since last July
It ain't that bad now, here in September
Most persperation stains are dry
Can't spare the water to take a shower
Dog just ran off, his name was Sam
Most neighbors moved out,
But, that's there problem,
I Love Me Just The Way I Am
These jeans are blue, beneath the surface
A body only needs one pair
Till they get holes, they'll serve the purpose
At night they stand nice by the chair
I don't believe in that old sayin'
The clothing is what makes the man
My ass is covered, that's all that matters,
I Love Me Just The Way I Am
At the workplace, they know when I arrive
Most of the smoke alarms go off
I have to take the bus, no car to drive
Unhealthy, everybody coughs...
Some people pass out when they're near me,
Or hold their nose, who gives a damn?
I'm pleasin' myself, and I'm still happy
I Love Me Just The Way I Am..
I Love Me Just The Way I Am

B.O, to the nth degree!! That was hilarious, espcially the jeans standing up at night!! 5's
Me likes ya just the way you is, too. Don't go changin' nuffin'...especially the way you write. Great stuff, AFW.
Thanks, Adagio......and to The Spelling Cop...Don't bust me...I'm turning myself in for misspelling "Perspiration"..
And thanks, Dee
i admire your independence...lol
Agree with Adagio's assessment... all your parodies are funny, duh... but also incredibly accessable...looking through your "scatalogue" today, I'm amazed at all the great ones, just in the last year alone! There's a specialized glowing, pulsating brain lobe in you, squeezed in between the frontal and parietals (think its called the maniacle lobe)... it's good!
Thanks, alvin...mostly fantasizing, there......and thanks, TJC...how much do I owe you for the complimentary brain scan?
I "rank" this a 5s. Loved the "smoke alarms" verse.
Stinky! 555
This song needs 555 day deodorant pads.
Great stuff, AFW....a malodorous masterpiece. Fun OS to parody, and you did a cracking job. 555
Thanks, John, PMS, Alex, and Kristof
Loved the 'my ass is covered' line!
I loved this parody just the way it is :)
Thanks, Meri, and Pere'
