The Lyrics
All the talk about copycats yesterday gave us an idea.
Clones to You
Why do you suddenly appear
Over there, when you're here
Goodness me, he seems to be
A clone to you
Why do folks often rub their eyes
Every time you walk by
Golly gee, there's at least three
Clones to you
In the days before their births
The doctors got together
And decided to create another you
So they sprinkled cells from sterile vials
And in a while, instead of one, there's two
(piano trilltwice)
That is why all the girls in town
When I call, turn me down
They've got dates
With ninety-eight
Clones to you
(Duplicate the release)
(Repeat the last verse)
Waaaaahh
Clones to you
(Do this last part again)
Why do you suddenly appear

In the days before their births
The doctors got together
And decided to create another you
So they sprinkled cells from sterile vials
And in a while, instead of one, there's two

You cloned the original song and then parodied its DNA magnificently.

clever concept...5s...when i was born, they destroyed the mold, although some of it grew back
Thanks, Johnny, Alvin. Comments and advice are appreciated.
I had a long visit with myself last night...and both of me decided to vote 555 for this.
Thanks Dee, coming from the likes of you two, that's a compliment.
that's fantastic Rick, and judging by your humility in the comments (advice? to you? where did that attitude go? ;-) ) this was a very early one. Great lines and ideas though. You should re-release it. - 555
Thanks, Stu. I still like comments and advice.
The Muppet Show versio where all the Birds and the guys in town do realy stick to her like a magnet
