The Lyrics
I couldn’t sell this to
Them, though I tried.
The record cops said, “Nuts to you;
We ain’t buyin’
And we’re denyin’.
“We ain’t gonna hand you
‘Most Parodies’ crown
Effort didn’t land you
In our book, man, so please now, stand down!”
I couldn’t sell my slew,
So now I whine
And whine.
Rue and ul-
ulate, “Boo-
Hoo, boo-hoo.
Why did you turn me down?
“Guess you don’t share
Love of parody
In London town!”
It’s clear the
Attempt to sell this slew—
A waste of time.
Them, though I tried.
The record cops said, “Nuts to you;
We ain’t buyin’
And we’re denyin’.
“We ain’t gonna hand you
‘Most Parodies’ crown
Effort didn’t land you
In our book, man, so please now, stand down!”
I couldn’t sell my slew,
So now I whine
And whine.
Rue and ul-
ulate, “Boo-
Hoo, boo-hoo.
Why did you turn me down?
“Guess you don’t share
Love of parody
In London town!”
It’s clear the
Attempt to sell this slew—
A waste of time.
