The Lyrics
Bum finds lotto ticket. That's all I have to say, really.
Ah ah ah ah......
Ah ah ah ah......
I lived on the streets
Dirty old hobo
Found a dropped ticket
From the Oz Lotto
I curl up in my box
And wait for them to broadcast
The results for this thing
To see if I win, it's not likely
So I sleep with
My ticket near
I wonder if I'll be
A winner here
Ah ah ah ah......
Ah ah ah ah......
My mate wakes me up
Cause my watch "escaped"
Bought it off some guy
With what I had scraped
We stare at the TV
Through someone's open door
The numbers read six, twenty-four,
Three, five, four, eighty-four
I grind my teeth, the last is drawn
It's the one that I need
It's sixty-four!
I run towards the shop
So I can claim my winnings
The counter kid
Said "You again?
You've won the last seventeen!"
Well, yeah, hmmmm........(repeat)
Ah ah ah ah......
I lived on the streets
Dirty old hobo
Found a dropped ticket
From the Oz Lotto
I curl up in my box
And wait for them to broadcast
The results for this thing
To see if I win, it's not likely
So I sleep with
My ticket near
I wonder if I'll be
A winner here
Ah ah ah ah......
Ah ah ah ah......
My mate wakes me up
Cause my watch "escaped"
Bought it off some guy
With what I had scraped
We stare at the TV
Through someone's open door
The numbers read six, twenty-four,
Three, five, four, eighty-four
I grind my teeth, the last is drawn
It's the one that I need
It's sixty-four!
I run towards the shop
So I can claim my winnings
The counter kid
Said "You again?
You've won the last seventeen!"
Well, yeah, hmmmm........(repeat)

That WAS a good twist; I liked it.
So he's really a billionare who chooses to live like a hobo? Weird but who am I to judge I date mimes, burn witches, join Fight Clubs and have living teddy bears.
Yeah, but that's par for the course at Disney, Matty.
You're coming back...555 (Led Zep plays the lottery in the US, too...shamless self promo of http://www.amiright.com/parody/60s/ledzeppelin3.shtml)
Although you rhymed 4 with 4... Don't worry I've done the same thing before in the past, as I was working on my Frat Play video I found out that I made that mistake too. This was still pretty damn good Conq.
very good parody c o p . serial lotto winner -nice twist
This has got to be the funniest parody of a Zeppelin song about the lottery that I've ever read. You get 555, from me. Hopefully those are the winning numbers. ;]
[SOTM] See above.
(SOTM) See Above... Still great.
AGES...the ending made me giggle, Conq...good stuff!
(Ages) Pretty good stuff! At first I thought you might be quoting the "Lost" lottery numbers, but you weren't. Anyway, made me smile. I'm wavering between the 4's and 5's so I'll give you a 5-4-5, because we can't do 4.5 here. (It's a contest, so I have to leave room at the top!)
Great idea and execution bobpie.
Funny...everytime I hear the OS I think of the line "Val hollared...I'm coming"

(Ages) I thought it was a good parody Conq, I only wish that it was a tad longer because it was pretty neat little story you had going, but hey--you can't control the song's length now can you, still waiting for me to win the lotto here (any lotto really--don't care which state)
(Ages) Funny song, funny ending :) I like your choice of OS as well.
This was even more fun to read with the handy YouTube link provided for the SOTM contest (even tho they removed that one and I had to go ALL THE WAY to the sidebar to click on another one). Anyway, yeah, still good.
Lucked out
SOTM...still a fan of the twist at the end...=)
(SOTM) SEe above.
You again? Fun twist, and especially liked the last stanza.
(ABC5O) The hobos need parodies too, and you did a great job. 555
(ABC5 O) Funny story and fits in well with the music
(ABC5O)
This was a lot 'o fun to read. I too was thinking like Melanie - figuring that it was Hurley's numbers from Lost. But the bum won. We have a lotto game here called "Cash Five" - Here's three of those cash five quick picks for ya.

(ABC5O) You've written a "winner" here!!
Still love the surprise ending... Although I don't understand why a trillionare would want to live this life as a hobo (Seeing that he won the last 17 he probably would be a trillionare...)
(ABC) I didn't remember seeing this one before. Your numbers are still 5-4-5. Cute, good story, a little funny. BTW, I think people are missing the joke here--or I could be the one misreading it. The last number announced on TV is "eighty-four", and the guy says the last number drawn is "sixty-four". Now, the "joke" depends on whether this Lotto has six numbers or seven. (Do all Lottos have seven numbers? The one in NYS does.) Oh, well.
ABC5(O) Clever story with a twist at the end - went well with the OS!...555!!!
Hmmm. . .see above. . .so far that's two of three which I read recently enough to remember them well
We have a winner!
