The Lyrics
A song about head lice.
I can feel them crawling in my hair tonight, oh gross
I had hoped that it was only lint so white, oh gross
I can feel them crawling in my hair tonight, oh gross, oh gross.
Well, if you told me it was just lint
I would not itch so bad
You'd better go and by some Rid
"Cause I certainly am one itchy kid.
Well, in the store all the lines are so long
They stretch out about half a mile
But when you pull in the drive, my hair's washed; I'm fine
The nits came off in a pile.
But I can feel them crawling in my hair tonight, oh gross
I had hoped that it was only lint so white, oh gross
I can feel them in my hair tonight, oh gross, oh gross
I had hoped that it was only lint so white, oh gross
Well I remember, I remember not to scratch
My scalp is so very red, and I wish, I wish I,were old and dead.
Asking what's the reason why this treatment didn't work, and you told me
The bottle says it takes two washes
You'll feel better then, you will see.
But I can feel them crawling in my hair tonight, oh gross....
I had hoped that it was only lint so white, oh gross
I can feel them crawling in my hair tonight, oh gross, oh gross.
Well, if you told me it was just lint
I would not itch so bad
You'd better go and by some Rid
"Cause I certainly am one itchy kid.
Well, in the store all the lines are so long
They stretch out about half a mile
But when you pull in the drive, my hair's washed; I'm fine
The nits came off in a pile.
But I can feel them crawling in my hair tonight, oh gross
I had hoped that it was only lint so white, oh gross
I can feel them in my hair tonight, oh gross, oh gross
I had hoped that it was only lint so white, oh gross
Well I remember, I remember not to scratch
My scalp is so very red, and I wish, I wish I,were old and dead.
Asking what's the reason why this treatment didn't work, and you told me
The bottle says it takes two washes
You'll feel better then, you will see.
But I can feel them crawling in my hair tonight, oh gross....

A much better parody of this song than a certain one before it......
Very good, Joelle!
Very good job! Have to explain to my new co-workers what I'm laughing about =)
Yeah, this one's better than mine. Consider entering this one in Johnny's "Gross Contest"! (see Messageboard Parody Contests thread) 555
SOTM DKTOS, but it was a funny read.
SOTM - Good poetic 'lice-ence'. I liked this one but somehow missed it when it first aired.
D'Oh, Guy... you got there before me with the "lice-ence" comment! I'm reduced to making a comment in German: Hairlick (or something like that)
Well, you know why Phil Collins is never going to sing it.
SOTM--I...uh...have had my fair share of critter incidents (see my collected works)...but if I ever got lice I think that would be the last straw. Camel's dead...bleah. 5s, Joelle...
After reading Rick Duncan's SOTM entry, I saw this title and thought it was going to be about something else. But this is funnier (and ickier) than that would have been. Good job. Next up: "Someone Sprayed My Lice Tonight."
(SOTM) see above...still a classic grossout.
(SOTM) You've won three 5s from this Instant Scratchie!
(SOTM): Isn't it forbidden to kill head lice now, with all these laws about stopping cruelty to animals...
I hear vaseline and a shower cap works (see "Blighted by the Lice" by Mari Duncan). Good job. And funny comment, Rick.
Well done, Joelle. Good imagery and good finish.
(SOTM) Very lice...errr...nice job here, Joelle...5's across my itchy scalp as I read this...
SOTM -- I certainly can't nitpick this one to death... great job!
they can be hard to get rid of when kids at school keep passing them back and forth .. i was so pleased when my daughter grew out of that stage of life!! 5s
(SOTM) See above!
Good story! Been there, done that (with my kids....)
(SOTM) Loved it!
Creepy, crawly things. Halloween is a good time for them. Nice one Joelle
