Oy!

Vey!

Now in my mind there are bases
For, for a lot of par'dies to write
But when it comes to Eddy Grant
There is no ideas coming tonight

Oh no, I don't know how to rip 'Electric Avenue'
It makes want to cry-a
Dang, no idea how to do 'Electric Avenue'
I think my brain just died-a

Strainin' my brain like that Einstein
Can't come up with anything good
Won't be the best par'dy of mine
Woudn't bet on that if I could
No thoughts!

No ideas come to rip 'Electric Avenue'
Can't do one 'bout Transformers
Jack, dared ev'ryone to rip 'Electric Avenue'
Can't write one about Goombas

So crap
So whack
Oh, crap
I'm cracked

Oh man, cannot turn it into 'Dyspeptic Avenue'
'Cause it's been done before-a
Oh, at least think I it has, but can't recall by who
Don't matter anymore-a

Who is to blame for this par'dy?
Which makes no sense, none at all
I say his name is Jack Wilson
That kid has sure got lots of gall!

Oh boy, he challenged me to rip 'Electric Avenue'
But that was not enough-a
So, he got us ALL to rip 'Electric Avenue'
And boy, if it ain't tough-a!

Oooh, stay up all night
Think of ideas
None come to mind, so
I write this mess!

Man it is so hard to rip 'Electric Avenue'
It's straining on my brain-a
There is no point in ripping 'Electric Avenue'
It will not give me fame-a

I know it's bad
And also sad
That I couldn't think
Of a decent idea

So, this is how I will rip 'Electric Avenue'
I know it makes so sense-a
But that's all I came up for 'Electric Avenue'
Soooo bad
(So please don't call me dense-a)
Read it if you have time
(My total crap rip of 'Electric Avenue')
Read it if you care
(If you don't I won't blame ya)
(This song I cannot do)...
