Song Parody Fragments:
"Running Up That Hill"
Better Lyrics:
When he comes inside,
we all call out "Norm!",
and he gives us a witty comment.
He's sitting on that stool.
He's guzzling that beer.
He's running up that bar tab.
we all call out "Norm!",
and he gives us a witty comment.
He's sitting on that stool.
He's guzzling that beer.
He's running up that bar tab.
Original Lyrics:
If I only could,
I'd make a deal with God.
And I'd get him to swap our places.
Be running up that road.
Be running up that hill.
Be running up that building.
I'd make a deal with God.
And I'd get him to swap our places.
Be running up that road.
Be running up that hill.
Be running up that building.
