The Lyrics

Same title; different approach: http://www.amiright.com/parody/60s/thedrifters12.shtml
They say the cons get the green light on eBay (on eBay).
They say there's always scamming everywhere (on eBay).
So if you're floggin' bogus treats,
eBay will bow down at your feet,
If from your ripoff you cough up a share (on eBay).

They lurk out there to steal your wealth (on eBay).
The crooks troll for you there and on Yahoo (and eBay).
So are you gonna waste your time
Bidding on scams posted by slime?
If you're online, find another venue (not eBay).

Ha! You think this item won't last long on eBay (on eBay),
It's such a great deal, and you can't wait to play (on eBay).
Although you think it's awfully far,
You send a check to Zanzibar;
You paid for it; where's the guitar from eBay?

You know, I have to admit that I'm an ebayaholic. There is no better place to get discount fashions...=)

"Johnbarryparodyman: Feedback: score: 555. 100% positive". Considering the reputation Ebay is getting, it's amazing that I sold a Mack truck there for $17K and had a smooth deal! Great song!

Well, I had to Drift over to this one, JB, since I used one of their songs today too. Nice piece, this should fetch a lot of 5's ~ ~ ~

Nice job. And thank you for crediting the Drifters, even though George Benson's lame version was actually a bigger hit. Now, I have to make another comment, and I know I'm gonna get smacked for it, but I don't care. Arwen buys her clothes discounted on eBay? It shows.

Thanks, all. You're on a roll with the comments, Michael.
Arwen - June 17, 2005 - Report this comment
Yeah, Mr. Pacholek's on a roll, for SURE...>=(

I am demanding a personalized parody to make up for this...
