The Lyrics

PLEASE NOTE: THIS PARODY ISN'T ABOUT ME!!!
Papa you know i'm getting real upset
Coz I can't reach those top shelf mags
The shop should know by now
I'm no longer 13
So what if I haven't grown an inch
Height's not important to everyone
I may look young to some
But I know my real age

That ten year old kid's big to me
To me he looks about 14
They say i'm awful short
And they call me 'baby' please

Damn I can't reach
I'll stand on a seat
Still I can't reach
Falling would kill me
But I have my ID
I told you i'm 18
You think i'm crazy

They say that I only look 12
I don't take their remarks to heart
Maybe i'll grow and then i'll love my new size

But my friends keep telling me I won't grow up
Sayin' i will never be tall enough
What I need right now is some
Extra height please

Damn I can't reach
Little hands and feet
Damn I can't reach
Maybe I need sleep
But i'll make up the height I'll
Take some hormones
Inject some hormones

(Guitar solo)

Shop assistant if you could only see
Believe that this isn't fake ID
You need some new glasses now
Coz i'm overage
Not underage, ooohhh

Damn I can't reach
Now they're calling me
Damn I can't reach
Now i'm showing teeth
So I bit both their legs hope
I gave them rabies
Damn I can't reach
Kicked out in the street
Damn I can't reach
With my magazine
Damn I can't reach
They've just called the police
Damn I can't reach
Legs taste just like peach
Damn I can't reach
Ooh I'm gonna take some hormones ooh
Don't start calling me shorty
I know i'm hitting my growth spurt

How can you keep churning out hit after hit? While the pacing was a bit off in places (4), it was funny (5), and overall a great parody (5). Kudos to you.

455, My vote was counted. This is better than the one not to long ago I believe titled " Help I can't reach " about the same topic.

This parody is actually quite different from Arwen's parody "Help, I Can't Reach", which is located here:

Cl­ever idea for a parody, DAK, keep writing.

Oops, sorry for my bad memory. No disrespect Arwen, as I've said before I do not judge a parody by who wrote it. PS- Just got the lyrics to this and Arwen's paces a bit better ( I had not been here very long when that parody came out ).

You can get your HGH...Human Growth Hormone...at BALCO in San Fransisco very cheap now. If their sale is over, call Barry Bonds. I doubt he's run out yet LOL. Good job here, DAK. 455. Keep on keepin' on :-)
