"What Should We Do With A Drunken Driver?"
Parody Written by:

The Lyrics
Again, as part of my campaign to write some more anti-drug, anti-tobacco, & anti-drunk driving parodies, here's the 3rd one I've finished today. The original song is a popular sea shanty, one you may have heard before (an instrumental version can sometimes be heard in Spongebob Squarepants). It's been done by many bands, with different combinations of verses. In fact, it's been said that there are as many verses as there are drunken sailors. Dschinghis Khan's version is one of their few English songs, & was released on their 1981 album Wir sitzen alle im selben Boot (We're everybody in the same boat). I know that some (or perhaps all) of these punishments seem cruel & unusual, but I feel that the current punishments for this & drug-related crimes aren't harsh enough & deserve tougher punishments (except excessive bail & a couple of the punishments here), depending on how bad the offense is. Anyways, just enjoy the parody.
What should we do with a drunken driver,
What should we do with a drunken driver,

That's the way the old folk song goes Niles, that's the way the old folk song goes Niles, that's the way the old folk song goes Niles, too bad you didn't know that.
Old tunes are fun.
Ha! You oughta make a parody about that, Agrimorfee! That was a good one!
If the tablet of shame is the size of a tylenol, then I'll take that punishment.
No, not that sort of tablet! I'm talking about something like the Rosetta Stone, hanging around the condemned's neck. You know what I'm saying?
There is a filk song in the SCA known as "What Shall we Do With a Drunken Viking" - everyone gets to be anachronistically creative.
Good message
I loved that drunken driver song can i get a copy of it please? Joshua
What, you mean like a recording of the song? I'm sorry Joshua, but I haven't performed that yet. However, if I perform it, I'll send you an MP3 of it.
However, if you mean that you want a recording of the original song, then I can e-mail you an MP3 of that.
Actually, If you're interested, I found a website with MP3s for every Dschinghis Khan song! Go to 81.26.155.206/music/Dschinghis_Khan/ if you're interested. Also, go to www.steppenwind.com/texte.htm if you want lyrics to Dschinghis Khan songs. They have lyrics for almost all the Dschinghis Khan songs, except for most of the English songs. (NOTE: I excluded adding the http part because it would recognize the links & forbid me from posting them. Just copy these links over everything in the link bar except for the http, colon, & double slash. Chucky, please don't arrest me! I'm an honest man!)
