The Lyrics
Spring means a lot of different things to different people. A renewal. Children playing in the yard. Daytona Beach. Something for Hitler and Germany. Me? It's pollen.
Pollen’s in the air.
Everywhere I look around
Pollen’s in the air.
See it covering the ground.
And I don’t know if it can bear it
Don’t know if I will sneeze
But it’s something that I’ll have to live with
While I hack, and I cough, and I wheeze.
Pollen’s in the air.
And it’s coming from the trees
Pollen’s in the air
And it brings me to my knees
And it covers my new black Saturn
It covers my once clean hair
I can write my name through all that green gunk
Hear my lungs try to filter through air
(Chorus)
Pollen’s in the air
Pollen’s in the air
Oh oh sniff
Oh oh drip
Pollen’s in the air
Never really any fun
Pollen’s in the air
Phlegm projectiles like a gun
And I can't help but think it's pollution
That old dance of flowers in bloom
If you plants have to breed in my yard, now
Go pack up and get you a room.
Everywhere I look around
Pollen’s in the air.
See it covering the ground.
And I don’t know if it can bear it
Don’t know if I will sneeze
But it’s something that I’ll have to live with
While I hack, and I cough, and I wheeze.
Pollen’s in the air.
And it’s coming from the trees
Pollen’s in the air
And it brings me to my knees
And it covers my new black Saturn
It covers my once clean hair
I can write my name through all that green gunk
Hear my lungs try to filter through air
(Chorus)
Pollen’s in the air
Pollen’s in the air
Oh oh sniff
Oh oh drip
Pollen’s in the air
Never really any fun
Pollen’s in the air
Phlegm projectiles like a gun
And I can't help but think it's pollution
That old dance of flowers in bloom
If you plants have to breed in my yard, now
Go pack up and get you a room.
This was the first parody to appear on my blog, and I'm still pretty happy with it. Not the pollen. The parody. Copyright 2009 Warren Baker. More anguish can be found at The Blogging Baker.
