The Lyrics
Surprised this OS has not been used before on this site. Well, anyway - This couple has some problems - HE is badly in need of some sensitivity training - SHE, well...needs to learn a few simple exercises; like pushing AWAY from the table...
Oh, man, look at my wife
does not have much allure
Whoa, man, she sure could use
liposuction, for sure
(Instrumental break)
So man, look at my wife
Fills the door and she warps the floor
Makes it groan and she shakes the pipes
when she walks 'cross the room
Her flaws give me pause
I am close to my last straw
I am tired of her paws
and her "hee-haws", too
(Instrumental break)
Oh, man, when I look at my wife I sure cry; "boo-hoo"
She looks just like a witch; should be stirring brew
I swear that woman belongs locked up in the zoo
(Instrumental break)
Giant-sized, extra-large thighs
Weighs about three-hundred pounds
Doesn't much appeal to me
In bed I just say "shoo"
At meals I'm aghast
Fat cow should be munching grass
Should have bumpers on her ass
Swear I heard her "moo"
(Instrumental break)
Oh, man, when I courted my wife didn't have a clue
No way to have foreseen such a tub of goo
I was badly surprised when she became a ghoul
(Instrumental break)
No, I can't stand my wife
Please, dear, do not undress
Please, dear, don't get too close
You are just too grotesque
(Instrumentals to end)
does not have much allure
Whoa, man, she sure could use
liposuction, for sure
(Instrumental break)
So man, look at my wife
Fills the door and she warps the floor
Makes it groan and she shakes the pipes
when she walks 'cross the room
Her flaws give me pause
I am close to my last straw
I am tired of her paws
and her "hee-haws", too
(Instrumental break)
Oh, man, when I look at my wife I sure cry; "boo-hoo"
She looks just like a witch; should be stirring brew
I swear that woman belongs locked up in the zoo
(Instrumental break)
Giant-sized, extra-large thighs
Weighs about three-hundred pounds
Doesn't much appeal to me
In bed I just say "shoo"
At meals I'm aghast
Fat cow should be munching grass
Should have bumpers on her ass
Swear I heard her "moo"
(Instrumental break)
Oh, man, when I courted my wife didn't have a clue
No way to have foreseen such a tub of goo
I was badly surprised when she became a ghoul
(Instrumental break)
No, I can't stand my wife
Please, dear, do not undress
Please, dear, don't get too close
You are just too grotesque
(Instrumentals to end)

5's, reminds me of a certain award-winning parody you wrote awhile back, heh heh heh...
Hadn't thought about that, JD...you mean you think this lady might be the Sister or Cousin or something to "That Hairy Old Woman"??
Max-funny...good job...clever work..5's
Thanks, AFW...
Three fat fives for you
Thanks, Lionel.
If she was a computer, her fat table would have cross linked wrinkles. Well done Paul.
funny and scary...5s
Now that's a heavy parody.
Phat 5's from me, Paul. Excellent!
Thanks, folks! appreciate it!
Well done, Paul. A lot of good lines. Why did it take a bachelor to create this parody?
Well, JJ, it either had to be a bachelor or a soon-to-be-divorced married man, I guess...Thanks!
Reminds me of the woman who wanted bigger breasts, and her husband said "just wipe tissues between them for a few years." When she asked why, he said "Well it worked with your ass" - 555
Stuart, you know, something tells me the "(not so) little woman" probably did not appreciate that suggestion too much...thanks...
Good one! 5's Am I the only woman in this thread and why?
Adagio, thanks! hmmm...I hadn't thought about that (see, there's that lack of sensitivity training rearing it's ugly head once again)...maybe...unless the person that "1'd" or "3'd" is of that gender...shoot, both my characters have their share of flaws. He's just the one who gets to talk about it in this particular song. I'm sure she has one somewhere on this site (or waiting to be written) about his multiple momentous & hideous inadequacies & faults...
Alas, all I know of the original is the line with the title in it. But your sub for that is grrreat. Fun stuff, P-Rob.
Thanks, Spaff!
Verry funny Paul! Great work! 555!
Thanks, Cookie-man!
(SOTM) Here I am again. This is just as good as before; I also found a lazy, shuffling midi that goes with the parody very well and is easy to follow.
Forgot to put this in my initial comment (SOTM) :)
SOTM, Can't comment, wife might see it.
(SOTM) 8O.
SOTM--hey Old Man...; )...this is pretty good...=) But if I were your wife and I read this I'd turn around and kick your ass!
Adagio/C-Man/Scathe - Thanks! Rick - the characters involved here have absolutely no resemblance to you or Spouse Mari - trust me on that - Arwen - yeah, good thing I'm not married, huh? (And this parody is probably a good reason why I am not, from BOTH points of view, come to think of it) - Thanks!
(SOTM) LOL!
Melhi - Thanks!
(SOTM) I'm staying single, married life just seems to have too many unpleasant surprises. :-)
Know 1 - Well, far be it from me, a batchelor, to permanently influence anyone either way...but I just submitted a piece that shows a more rewarding possibility from a marriage (although marriage is not necessarily required)...probably be up tomorrow since it looks like no new entry postings today. Thanks...
Enjoying the reread. "Please, dear, do not undress." Heh heh.
Thanks again for the look, Spaff...
(SOTM) Paul, great choice of wording.
(SOTM) See above!
(SOTM) already commented - funny, Paul
Great title; well done. I once thought of a parody to "Cabaret" and wrote the line "Wife's been a crab all day old chum" on a note and left it lying around. My wife never looks at my stuff but of course she glanced at it while we were in a minor argument. Learned my lesson. Anyway, very good.
Loved this Paul. Very good. I regret to inform I had to cut it just before the final three, but it was THAT close, I enjoyed.
(SOTM) Didn't quite tickle me, but still a good job.
thanks, all...
Hey, P-Rob - A while back you left a comment on my "Mary Cheney" parody that you'd submitted one with the same title. I can't find yours. Did it disappear or am I just an idiot?
(SOTM) Title was an immediate 5-er for you, but the whole thing was really great. I shall continue to strive to somehow attain the Impossible Dream that is Coming Close to The Excellence of Probinson.
DKTOS, but enjoyed it!
SPAFF - It didn't make it to the "Amiright" Entries when I submitted it...must have been something about the "Sexual Content" rules...HOWEVER, it IS over on the "Toxic" section...otherwise known as "Whatfreaks.com"...to venture over there you may want to put on some heavy hip boots and protective gear - you might find my piece amusing...I really didn't think it was all that dirty (FYI - the version I put up there uses the word "a*s" - the one I submitted here said "aft" --- but it didn't help me get it posted (whine)...EmiLoca - Thank you VERY much - a nice compliment - Thank you, too, Jeff - glad you got a lift out of it...
Paul I am sure this is a work of the imagination!! ( at least hope so........ I don't think being PC is always at the top of your list of priorities ... but that applies to many writers on this site....(SOTM) on the the other hand it does come across as a very heartfelt lament......... 555! I
Martha, missed your comment back when made. No, this is NOT based on true life...I honestly would never say these things about a real person that I actually knew. Unknown passer-bys are fair game, however...thanks for looking in...
