The Lyrics
norman bates' mother says...norman is dizzy
too dizzy, its plainly been shown
norman bates' mother says...norman is cryin'
he wants to live life on his own
norman bates' mother says...norman is snappin'
so you'd better leave him alone
and the leglislator says...forty years more
for this deadly menace
geez....he seems crazy...if...you stay and talk to him
he's been a loner....a while
please...he's my baby...i...just want to tell him...goodbye
norman bates' mother says...norman is wack-o
he's goin' to be leavin' today
norman bates' mother says...norman's been buryin'
some folks that had wandered his way
norman bates' mother says...he don't mean nothin'
i think he'll recover one day
and the leglislator says...forty years more
for this deadly menace
geez....he seems crazy...if...you stay and talk to him
he's been a loner....a while
please...he's my baby...i...just want to tell him...goodbye
norman bates' mother says...norman's not worryin'
though everyone says he's insane
norman bates' mother says...he's quite a fella
just something's gone wrong with his brain
norman bates' mother says...he hears me callin'
and he's gettin' riled up again
and the leglislator says...forty years more
for this deadly menace
geez....he seems crazy...if...you stay and talk to him
he's been a loner....a while
please...he's my baby...i...just want to tell him...goodbye
tell him goodbye
i'll tell him goodbye
goodbye

So who's this Norman Bates fella, then? ;-) Nice work, Al...555
Takin' a stab at a Hitchcock parody, eh? You PSYCHO! ;-)
Norman Bates mother is,...down in the basement. She's wasted to just skin and bone... I was just thinking of doing a Norman Bates parody only yesterday. 5 stabs with kitchen knife.
Excellent! I'll shower you with 5's, and I'll...uhh...wait a minute...what's that? Yes, mother!....gotta go!
Norman Bates' mother doesn't have any tricks you don't have, Alvin.
Today Norman Bates (and his Mother) might BE the legislator...5's for this presentation of dementation ~ ~ ~
Poor Master Bates! LOL Alvin!
I was just thinking of this OS the other day. Excellent.
thanks kristof johnny willie chuck royce paul rick and leo...we all go a little mad sometimes, don't we ?
A friend and I used to sing TOS in the most overwrought, melodramatic way we could, just for laughs - and to mortify our respective spouses, of course. I printed this out and am mailing it to him, and I bet he'll give it fives, too.
DKOS...but I love this old movie..and your parody..both get five stabs
Rats, Chuck took my joke... that one went down the drain... I suppose I shouldn't wig out over it... But this parody definitely makes the cut.
anyone who uses "geez" in a song gets my vote - of course i dont know how the heck you decided to write about norman. im sure we could discuss it but im not one for de-bates. ok, that sucked, but i had to follow in everyone elses footsteps. nice job.
thanks ravyn AFW michael and dr. bob
I loved it!
just dropped in to check this out - hmm something about this place seems weird - loved the parody as much as I hated the OS, Alvin - 555
thanks PMS and stuart
