The Lyrics
My music hobby is performing old songs (mainly 30’s through 70’s). I write funny parodies for some of them. I change the song’s serious theme to something funny but retain original lyrics and rhyme as much as possible. This one got started by changing the song theme from "your cheatin' heart" to "your beatin' heart".
Your beatin’ heart
Thinks you’re a creep
You make it work
While you’re asleep
It struggles on
The whole night through
Your beatin’ heart
Is sad and blue
When you wake up
Refreshed again
You speed it up
You have no shame
It gets no rest
The way you do
Your beatin’ heart
Is sad and blue
Your beatin’ heart
Will fail some day
You’ll crave the chance
You threw away
To let it rest
The way you do
Your beatin’ heart
Will make you blue
You won’t wake up
Refreshed again
You’ll be stone dead
And that’s a shame
Your heart will rest
The whole day through
But don’t complain
You will rest too
Thinks you’re a creep
You make it work
While you’re asleep
It struggles on
The whole night through
Your beatin’ heart
Is sad and blue
When you wake up
Refreshed again
You speed it up
You have no shame
It gets no rest
The way you do
Your beatin’ heart
Is sad and blue
Your beatin’ heart
Will fail some day
You’ll crave the chance
You threw away
To let it rest
The way you do
Your beatin’ heart
Will make you blue
You won’t wake up
Refreshed again
You’ll be stone dead
And that’s a shame
Your heart will rest
The whole day through
But don’t complain
You will rest too

Hey Jack, welcome to AmiRight!
I see you've got a lot of parodies posted today and also days prior - I don't know if you're working through a backlog of older parodies or writing 10 a day, but slow down a bit! With so many parodies up in any given day, it's hard for a lot of readers to get through them all, so posting 1 or 2 a day would probably work in your favor.
It's been ages since I heard the original song (TOS), but I liked this parody and the last verse was the best. Also, you might consider enabling comments on all of your parodies - you'll get more feedback that way.
