Parody Written by:	Alvin Rhodes

...amber traffic lights are there for a reason...

i drive fast without stopping
stopping just ain't for me
i drive fast without stopping
brake for red lights, but gee...

i always sail through yellow...almost green
i always sail through yellow...almost green
i always sail through yellow

yes, its danger, i'm courting
courting catastrophe
yes, its danger, i'm courting
i live perilously

i always sail through yellow...almost green
i always sail through yellow...almost green
i always sail through yellow

right through traffic, i sure fly
others seem to stand still
right through traffic, i sure fly
my mad driving's a thrill

i always sail through yellow...almost green
i always sail through yellow...almost green
i always sail through yellow

pick me a lane, go bananas
down the road, i'm gonna blaze
pick me a lane, go bananas
i'm threading through an intricate maze

i always sail through yellow...almost green
i always sail through yellow...almost green
i always sail through yellow

it turns yellow ?
watch out, fellows !

One more twist on that. The light, frothy Donovan songs with the repetitive lyrics are easy to parody.

I only really know Jasper Carrott's version of this: "I'm just wild about acne/Acne goes wild about me/I'm just covered in gurgling zits/As far as the eye can see/They call me mellow yellow"
...this is super, Alvin - I live in the middle of a set of lights and the ******ds who drive through yellow lights make things kinda dangerous. Especially cyclists.

Great idea alvin.We all "sail through yellow" lights even though we shouldn't.

I heard a song on the radio the other day and thought of an alvin-esque title swap.The song was "Tied To the Whippin' Post" and my idea was "Tired Of The Waffle House"...what do you think ?
