The Lyrics
Golf people got no reason
Golf people got no reason
Golf people got no reason
To work
They make little balls
Go in little holes
They walk around
With little poles
They got little carts that go
Beep beep beep
They wear special shoes
On their sporty little feet
Well, I don't want no golf people round here
Golf people are not the same
As you and I
(A fool such as I)
Takes lotsa money
For green fees to buy
(It's a rich man's world)
Golf people got no room to
Golf people got no room to
Golf people got no room to
Complain
They just loaf around
On sunny days
Their caddies pick up balls
And watch em play
They got little caps
With little visors
To keep the sun out
Of their little eyes-ors
Their little grubby balls
Go flyin through the air
They fall in the water
And they don't care
Well I don't want no golf people
Don't want no golf people
Don't want no golf people
Round here
Golf people got no reason
Golf people got no reason
To work
They make little balls
Go in little holes
They walk around
With little poles
They got little carts that go
Beep beep beep
They wear special shoes
On their sporty little feet
Well, I don't want no golf people round here
Golf people are not the same
As you and I
(A fool such as I)
Takes lotsa money
For green fees to buy
(It's a rich man's world)
Golf people got no room to
Golf people got no room to
Golf people got no room to
Complain
They just loaf around
On sunny days
Their caddies pick up balls
And watch em play
They got little caps
With little visors
To keep the sun out
Of their little eyes-ors
Their little grubby balls
Go flyin through the air
They fall in the water
And they don't care
Well I don't want no golf people
Don't want no golf people
Don't want no golf people
Round here

Very well done, Royce--that first verse was perfect. I also liked "eyes-ors".
I am a golfer, but I found your parody amusing ... because I think it applies to other golfers, not to me?
Thanks for the comments, Claude and John. And John, yes, you are the only golfer that I was not aiming this song at!
Royce, you hit the ball right on the tee. Die all golfers!!! (J/K;))
This is fabulous! I have to send the URL for this one to my golf-happy brother!
Yes, I'm a golfer too, but a bad one, and I have much more interesting rounds then those guys on TV (hitting off rocks, out of the woods, bear caves, snake holes, etc).
Mike and I are both golfers... he being a good one, me being a not so good one. But I liked it. Plus Royce, we share a name. Royce is my middle name.. so i can't rate it poorly =)
Great Job as always Royce......I used to golf a little...but I kinda sucked at it...If my golf score and my bowling score got switched, I'd be a pro in each!
"The reason the game is called 'golf' is because all the other four-letter words have been taken." -- Leslie Nielsen. "Hitting a baseball is the hardest thing to do in sports. My golfing friend Sam Snead has tried to convince me that hitting a golf ball is harder, but you'd have an easier time convincing Norman Schwarzkopf that the Bolshoi Ballet is a tougher outfit than the U.S. Marines." -- Ted Williams. "Golf is a 19th Century pastoral game. Basketball is a 21st Century phantasmagorical phenomenon. Basketball is a game where cool guys wear stupid shorts. Golf is a game where uncool guys wear stupid long pants." -- me channeling George Carlin. After all, when the Mets or Maple Leafs choke, we say they're "off playing golf," but when Greg Norman chokes, nobody ever says he's "off playing baseball" or "off playing hockey." Anybody who writes for a sports publication and includes an article about golf ought to be locked up in a basement, tied up, and forced to watch a video of Georgie Bush reading the collected poems of Barry Manilow.
Great stuff ! Thanks Royce (from a golfer) who hated the original song !
