The Lyrics
Weird Al fought with Lady GaGa over a parody of her song "Born This Way" but finally got approval. As a "Little Monster" it is my duty to parody him now!!! So, a parody of a parody...
My mama told me when I was Alfred Matthew
I’d never become a superstar
Played an accordion , starred in “UHF”
Did song parodies and I have got this far
Now making videos, well, I’ve had some hits
I make fun of celebrities everywhere I go
I’ve parodied Madonna and Michael Jackson for starters
Now it‘s time for Lady GaGa- Oh No!
I'm sure her critics will say
That my appearance is Gay
Well, you can f--k off, Lil Monsters
I act crazy this way
I might be animated you see
or maybe in a fat suit to please
I also once was a D.J.
I act crazy this way
Ooo, my fans have much to say...
'cause I act crazy this way
Lady G, I act crazy this way
Ooo, people know I’m not quite OK
... hey, I just act crazy this way
I was on TV for a spell,
I act crazy this way
Snack in the bag- something rarely seen
Snack in the bag- something rarely seen
Snack in the bag- something rarely seen
Just turn the Twinkie over,
Split it into a bun
Insert a hot dog,
and add Easy Cheese
And then, well there, it’s finally done!
Will make anyone queasy!!!
I'm so completely f--ked in the brain
I make Lady GaGa look sane
I'll sing the craziest parodies LIVE!
Or make a celebrity look lame
I show up at strange places
Usually on M-T-V or V-H-1
I was once in band, guitar in my hand
Yet still prefer my silly accordion!
Did “Amish Paradise“ one day,
Coolio didn’t think it was OK
In the end I had to pay (royalties)
I act crazy this way
“UHF“ was my acting career,
Orion lost money in theaters
I'll bet you've never seen a comedian
Act so crazy this way
Don't be offended when you see
My latest pop parody
It’s strange, weird, shocking, odd, and Gay
It’s another parody- “Party in the CIA”!
There's nothing too embarrassing
I'll honestly mock- ANYTHING
Everything is going my way today
'Cause Lady G, I act crazy this way
Hope you won't think it's cliché
if I mock your “Little Monsters” this way
Don't call a lawyer now, Lady G
I act crazy this way
No reason I should regret
all the bad publicity I get
It‘s hard to top you GaGa,
I act crazy this way, yeah
I act crazy this way-hey,
I act crazy this way-hey
I'm always mockin' celebs
by acting crazy this way-hey
I act crazy this way-hey,
I act crazy this way-hey
I make Lady GaGa look sane
I just act crazy this way-hey
I’d never become a superstar
Played an accordion , starred in “UHF”

Weird Al didn't actually fight over this parody Rob, it was Lady GA GA's publisher that would not allow Al to do the parody, but Lady GA GA approved wholeheartedly about letting him do it. The story is on Weird Al's website. and I approve wholeheartedly with your parody too! 5's! :-)
WCJ, you are correct, it was first seen as in bad taste and passed on but later GaGa saw it and approved. The parody video is hilarious to us Little Monsters who get all the "in" jokes that others not familiar with won't get.
