The Lyrics
~
Pun man — welcome to Am-I-Right®
I said, pun man — you'll fit Right® in 'our site'
I said, pun man — 'cause our pacing's so tight!
Can you see — where — this — is — head-ed?!
Pun man — let's all mock Barrack's 'Hope™'
I said, pun man — then spoof Palin-as-Pope
And when done, man — we can play 'drop-the-soap'!
O - kay, *now* — we're — mess - in' — with — ewe!
[ Farce! - Farce! - Farce! - ARSE! - PARSE!]
I'm wondrin' why you think — Wry Men Seem Gay!?
'Cause perfect penmanship's — Très macho, eh?
Sure, each write's a huge fuss—
Of elab-or-ate-nuss—
But our I.Q.s are hu-mon-gous!
I just can't fathom why — Wry Men Seem Gay!?
Our past subjunctives are — butch—total-la-ay!
We're the Luthors of Lex—
Flaunting tropes n' waxed pecs—
With a fetish for Al Trebeks!
~
Some men — don't get fancy-pants wit!
Where-as pun men — can trans-pose "fissy hit'
But n00b pun men — we expect you'll 'submit'
To our — ri - gor - ous — 'peer' — re - views!
Pun men — write for Will and dis Grace!
I said, pun men — often post on MyFace™!
Robust pun men — homophonics embrace!
Or at — least — own — pos— ters — of - Cher!
[ Arse! - Farce! - Parse! - YERS? - OURS! ]
I'm Gaga-livid that — Wry Men Seem Gay!?
C'est très confounding moi — Wry Men's Seem Gay!?
Hard at grooming our posts—
Fluffing phenomes all night—
Hoping fabulous fans will bite!
I'm just so peeved you think — Wry Men Seem Gay!?
I'm gushing 'huffy' like — Lib - er- a ch - a-ay!
'Cause we're *totally* FIERCE—
Feel my piquancy's pierce?—
We're as manly as Ambrose Bierce! *
Wry - Men - Seem - Gay?
WHAT - *EV* — Ren-ee!

Funny subject, and good point, ! don't know wry! LOL
Loved this one! Now tackle Guy-Men Seem Fey... ;-)
Laughing so his-ter-ectom-ically by the fifth and sixth lines that it was, uh, "hard" to "finish"! Fave lines? I'd have to reprint the entire parody. They're ALL waaay over the top! Why, every "clause, it" spurts wit (dreams)! Blow to the "head" of the cl-ass! ... I think these Fives would look mah-velous on you, Dahling, but really not enough - maybe a few pink accents?
Title o' the day! This is fabulous!!
interesting and original
A Village People selection for all of us Village Idiots! Thanks, TJC. ;D
LOL... Please, sir, caesura and desist before I rip a stitch laughing so hard! A brilliant bit of burlesque from our own Catcher in the Wry :D
Yer all simply marvi!
Size 14 thanks out to--
Mark--fine punin!
Meriadoc--muchas gras, you fabulous doll! Fey it is!
TT--'hard' to believe you can come up with all those supurlative puns on the spurt of the moment... but I know it's for real! Thanks for the uber-thoughtful comment! Now, quick--tell me *none* of it's trewe!
John--Thank you kindly sir... and funny!
Phil--Thanks... I know its not to everyone's taste, but it tickled my fabulously ticklish (really, Mase-esque) funny bone!
OMR--Appreciate it, guy... but you're definitely *no* village or any other kinda idiot (Though, admittedly, based on my limited information, you could be an idiot savant (heavy on the savant)!
FG--Thank you kindly, ma'lady... but I hope you don't now think of me as some sort of V.D. Pal'in'sir!
