The Lyrics

Original song on YouTube
I bought a home by pond
A homey lawn had it all newly mown
Green mat ‘neath my toes
‘Till a polywoggily spawn arose

Now turf’s a bumpy sheet
Oh they fill the yard with croaking greens
Glaring slipp’ry gleeps
When I’m at home and roam then I squash them prone

Some broken bones
And squish-ed moans
My lawn’s unmown
Not shorn, it's...

Sly tadpoles – I moan and groan as croaks benight me
Frog wallow - turf’s unholy thing of hopping
Sometimes I squish minions of them when striding
Prefer I’d walk alone...

Arr-argh, arr-argh, arr-argh, arrrr-argh
Arr-argh, arr-argh, arr-argh

My rototiller’s whine
Lets invading bumps steer for the pond
Trim my borders fine
On to hedge then swear – they’ve made it home

Need them in decline
(Damn) things jumped up, they’re everywhere in sight
Get some land-y mines
Cool! Anuran archive, from my old brownstone

Yard’s overthrown
Sounds: monotone
Soft stepping stones
Why, fawkin’…

My chateau's been overrun with frogs reside-y
Fire some lawn jarts to see those things retreating
Good times, I wish begun, want them: unwind me
'Til then I’m gonna groan

Arr-argh, arr-argh, arr-argh, arrrr-argh
Arr-argh, arr-argh

Plight, greenly sown
Unseemly...

I want these gauls mincemeat
Yon unruly yard of croaking greens
Swear, these sh*tty sleeps
The cause: amphibians and I want them...

I’d flay those batrachians that loiter lawnly
Try bro-il! Carte-grenouille think of eating
Gold mine if French could move next door and kind be:
Grill them in sauce flambeaux!

That dictionary you use must be hard to get through the door M and P. Pollywoggily rototillers have not been s big part of my life I must admit. Lovely use of the OS’s rhymes as always. 555

"I want these gauls mincemeat"! Touché!!

Don’t let Jeff know what you’re doing to his frog friends. I’m sure he’d be hopping mad if he ever found out! Great to see what you could do with a modern song. Funny and language educating stuff!

Your parodies are getting more Lewis Carroll-esque by the day, M&P....polywoggily? Hehehe. I enjoy reading your stuff, hobbits...it's like an LSD trip without the expense. 555

Your stuff really is one-of-a-kind. Clever subs abound as always. Only thing missing was Kristof shredding on his weed whacker

Yeah, this kinda sent me to the dictionary like 555 times. :-)

That last stanza, wow. You get a gold star sticker for the first time I've ever seen the word "batrachian" used in a sentence.

"Sing pollywoggily doodle all the day!" (Get that?) Hey, M&P! You freaking made me Google "anuran" and "batrachian." And I truly did. So everyone else has to too! That's an ORDER! (See what I did there?) How much research do you put into these innocent-seeming parodies of yours? Don't answer that. Just see the movie Magnolia.
