The Lyrics
Random topic: Counterfeiters :-)
You start your print press up,
You put print plate down,
You make some brand new bills,
And you hang them to dry out.
You make the hokey money,
and you spend it all around.
It's gonna turn about.
You start your lemon up,
You try to leave the town,
You hear the sirens blaring,
And they catch you peeling out.
You made the hokey money,
and you spent it all around.
It's gonna turn about.
You lean against the car,
You spread your arms right out,
They throw your butt in jail,
And no one can bail you out,
You made the hokey money,
and you spent it all around.
It's gonna turn about.
You hear your case come up,
You see the jury frown,
Your verdict has been read,
And you hear the gavel pound.
You made the hokey money,
and you spent it all around.
It's gonna turn about.
You see your prison cell,
You begin to pout,
You're convicted of the crime,
And in 30 you'll be out.
You made the hokey money,
and you spent it all around.
This is your turn about.
You put print plate down,
You make some brand new bills,
And you hang them to dry out.
You make the hokey money,
and you spend it all around.
It's gonna turn about.
You start your lemon up,
You try to leave the town,
You hear the sirens blaring,
And they catch you peeling out.
You made the hokey money,
and you spent it all around.
It's gonna turn about.
You lean against the car,
You spread your arms right out,
They throw your butt in jail,
And no one can bail you out,
You made the hokey money,
and you spent it all around.
It's gonna turn about.
You hear your case come up,
You see the jury frown,
Your verdict has been read,
And you hear the gavel pound.
You made the hokey money,
and you spent it all around.
It's gonna turn about.
You see your prison cell,
You begin to pout,
You're convicted of the crime,
And in 30 you'll be out.
You made the hokey money,
and you spent it all around.
This is your turn about.

Here's three hokey sawbucks for your effort. Spend them wisely at the prison commissary. Loved it!
Thanks for the comments and votes.(all legitimate of course) :-)
this one made me smile...5s
(SOTM) There's no counterfeiting how excellent this is! 555
(SOTM) See above comments. Also loved the originality here.
(SOTM) Cute one!
(SOTM) Really good. Not every day you see something like the Hokey Pokey parodied well. 555
(SOTM) Wait a minute, the Queen's face is done in texta on these 5s! Great OS choice, too.
(SOTM) I hear your cellmate is a real McCoy...
Dang - *I* was gonna write a song about counterfeiters to the tune of the Hokey Pokey. Heh heh. Fave line: "You start your lemon up." Extremely original concept, Scathe. You have the right to remain hokey.
(SOTM) There's somebody here from The Secret Service who wants to know if you've got CHANGE FOR A FIVE!
Thanks everyone, I honestly thought that counterfeiting had been done before.
(SOTM) Random topic, but not a random rating - 555.
(SOTM) Here she comes now, with her Funny Money...
SOTM--pretty funny stuff, Scathe!
sotm - great stuff scathe - I like the leap from hokey to counterfeiting - LOL - 555
lemon ... peeling - very bad pun, very good parody.
Very creative; well done.
I agree with "cute"
Simple and funny. Very good, Scathe. You've seen "Catch Me if You Can" right?
(SOTM) Rich with creativity.
(ABC3) And let THAT be a lesson to ya, kids! 555 from me, sorry I missed it.
I'd take 555 real bucks, or 555 fake ones everyday!
(ABC) See above!
Very funny! They should do this to the rascals who make the "funny fives" here in Peru -- 5-sol coins, that is. The real ones are worth about $1.50 and will buy about $3 worth of stuff.--MM
(ABC3) I was wondering how I missed this one: it was posted the day before my first parody was. Great stuff, Scathe, one of the best traditionals I've read. 555.
(ABC3-H) see above - great job Scathe, especially when it got going around the 4th verse - liked the story arc
(ABC3H) See above. Masterful combining of silly song with serious subject, while creating some great laughs.
DKTOS (just kidding). Funny song, I enjoyed dancing along to it!
What is the Hokey Pokey what is it all about?
And here's one for liberal politicians.PUT YOUR LEFT FOOT IN, TAKE YOUR LEFT FOOT OUT, TAKE YOUR LEFT FOOT AND STICK IN YOUR MOUTH,DO THE OAKIE DOAKIE AND TURN YOURSELF ABOUT.THAT'S WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT
MAKE HOKEY MONEY NOW YOUR DOING 30 YEARS,SIT UP ALL DAY IN TEARS
