The Lyrics
Well I'm falling through the air and I'm a-gonna be flat
Only got the one life so it's too bad I ain't a cat
Any second now and I'm a gonna go splat
Ain't got me a bungee cord
Well I coulda got a parachute and jumped from a plane
Coulda gone to school some more and worked on my brain
Instead I'm gonna do a quick impression of rain
Ain't got me a bungee cord
Well I'm sayin' gosh dang and I'm sayin' oh fiddle
Bout to have the height of a cake on a griddle
The wind is in my hair but in my pants I got piddle
Ain't got me a bungee cord
Well, your life'll flash by in just a second they say
Feels like this fall is takin' up my whole day
Maybe I got time enough to kneel and pray
Hey God need a bungee cord
Well, here's the last time I ever work without a net
Here's the last detail I will ever forget
Spaced the stinkin'cord but hey the camera's all set
Look Ma got no bungee cord
Well, I'm sayin' crap sandwich and I'm sayin' oh diddle
Feelin' like Wile E. Coyote a little
Brains were a crime I think I'd get an acquittal
Bang squash with no bungee cord
Only got the one life so it's too bad I ain't a cat
Any second now and I'm a gonna go splat
Ain't got me a bungee cord
Well I coulda got a parachute and jumped from a plane
Coulda gone to school some more and worked on my brain
Instead I'm gonna do a quick impression of rain
Ain't got me a bungee cord
Well I'm sayin' gosh dang and I'm sayin' oh fiddle
Bout to have the height of a cake on a griddle
The wind is in my hair but in my pants I got piddle
Ain't got me a bungee cord
Well, your life'll flash by in just a second they say
Feels like this fall is takin' up my whole day
Maybe I got time enough to kneel and pray
Hey God need a bungee cord
Well, here's the last time I ever work without a net
Here's the last detail I will ever forget
Spaced the stinkin'cord but hey the camera's all set
Look Ma got no bungee cord
Well, I'm sayin' crap sandwich and I'm sayin' oh diddle
Feelin' like Wile E. Coyote a little
Brains were a crime I think I'd get an acquittal
Bang squash with no bungee cord

Thank God you're original
They play this song during the seventh inning stretch of all Orioles games. Excellent song.
Who needs a bungee cord? With this song, you can fly! (Metaphorically speaking, of course!) And I still don't know why the Orioles do that. I mean, what does John Denver have to do with Baltimore? Even if "Country Roads" was written about Maryland, but the writers moved it to West Virginia because of the Pacing Police. (True story!)
I guess youre done being a room full of monkeys?
Thanks you guys (and Royce too--your comment made me laugh) And Billy: Yeah, I'm done for now at least--too confusing but at least I got one of my best songs ever out of it. Thanks again.
Claude - you never cease to amaze me! Great as always!
I was going to quote my favorite lines, but there are about 24 of them.
You never cease to amaze me Claude.
I've come to you and this site late, but this is hilarious
Since two of you have now heard it, I should let everyone know, there is a musical tribute to ten of the writers here that Mari and I did yesterday. On our MP3 website, you can download by clicking on the link at the bottom of Mari’s parody “Daniel”. I will tell you who but not what songs. In order, they are Paul R.-Phil A.-Claude P.-Royce M.-Johnnie D.-Leah L.-AussieBD-Guy D.-Malcolm H.-Michael P. You have to listen to find out what we did.
Great job here, Claude - and as proof that warped minds think alike, check out the following.....

Fabulous
Boy.. that was great! As usual. How did the picture(s) turn out?
JMJ I just joined, this is the funniest parody I've heard, maybe ever. At least since "Smells Like Niravana". Not that I actually heard it, although I played guitar and sung it, I guess that's hearng it. But it was still in that rarified air before I actually heard it, although I more felt it and heard it internally than heard it with my ears. I digress. Fives all around! And a bounty on the family of the guy who put the ones in. Good job.
Strangely enough there were 25 of my favourite lines here, I may also get an acquital (my favourite favourite!) Fer-knee! 555
Please, could anyone share me a copy of all song of John Denver with guitar chords..pls... my email address: vince_mba@yahoo.com thank you so much...
LOL for some reason I pciutre you singing this while diribng a plow through a cornfield, great job! 555!
Marvellous, if (thankfully!) a trifle shorter than the OS.
