The Lyrics
It's about time I gave this author a well deserved tribute. As Arlo would put it, it may not be the best parody I ever wrote.....but dun got time to change it.
[chorus]
I will never top him
John's gonna end writing up a million
I will always five him
He'll write songs up while I got for a swim
And stop, he won't you see
Because his name is John A Bar......ry
It was late laste night when I wrote this up
John's a guy who drinks from a silver up
I walked over and asked "Wassup?'
John smled at me just like he would a pup
I sing
[chorus]
I will never top him
John's gonna end writing up a million
I will always five him
He'll write songs up while I got for a swim
And stop, he won't you see
Because his name is John A Bar......ry
Of his greatness I'll never see the like
Might as well just go take a hike
All his works from from beyond the phych
Sit down as he takes up the mic
And sings...
[chorus]
I will never top him
John's gonna end writing up a million
I will always five him
He'll write songs up while I got for a swim
And stop, he won't you see
Because his name is John A Bar......ry
I will never top him
John's gonna end writing up a million
I will always five him
He'll write songs up while I got for a swim
And stop, he won't you see
Because his name is John A Bar......ry
It was late laste night when I wrote this up
John's a guy who drinks from a silver up
I walked over and asked "Wassup?'
John smled at me just like he would a pup
I sing
[chorus]
I will never top him
John's gonna end writing up a million
I will always five him
He'll write songs up while I got for a swim
And stop, he won't you see
Because his name is John A Bar......ry
Of his greatness I'll never see the like
Might as well just go take a hike
All his works from from beyond the phych
Sit down as he takes up the mic
And sings...
[chorus]
I will never top him
John's gonna end writing up a million
I will always five him
He'll write songs up while I got for a swim
And stop, he won't you see
Because his name is John A Bar......ry
John if you're disappointed, forgive me. There's a few reasons this is so blunt and vague and stuff, because Arlo Guthrie, who is a great singer and song writer, performed this song originally in such...vague performance. But......later on he ended up including a story, so perhaps you'll get a second tribute in the near or far future. I also wrote this at three in the morning.....so yeah.
