The Lyrics
NOTE: I have taken the liberty of straying far off the pacing in the recitation part of this song...which was necessary due to theme content
You may groan some tonight,
At the words that I write
And be sorry you chose them to read
You might grimace a tad,
Say these are really bad,
Stupid, punny, and corny, indeed ?
You might give up and holler
"This stuff really stinks"
Or read on and snicker
As the next zinger links ?
They may batter your brain,
Put all good sense to shame,
Are you ready to groan some tonight?
(Recitation:)
About the old woman who lived in a shoe..
She should move into a Reebok, more modern and new..(Ohhhh)
If the wife of a president, was a lush, and kinda' shady,
Might not she be called. The Thirst Lady..? (Ewww)
Why was the host of the TV show, "Candid Camera"
So good at remembering his lines?
-Because an Allen Funt never forgets..(Ohhh Nooo! )
If Val Kilmer had married Tyne Daly..the day of their wedding,
February fourteenth or not, it would always be "Val and Tyne's" day...
(Oh Please!..somebody shoot him!!!)
Suppose singers, "Salt N' Peppa" had both married Tupac Shakur,
Wouldn't they have been known as "Salt N' Peppa" Shakur" ?
(Alright, that's it, make a noose!!!)
If Bea Arthur had hitched up to Sting, divorced, and then wed William Hurt, once more divorced, and married Trent Lott, she would have become "Bea Sting Hurt Lott"..(No jury will convict us!!!)
If Shelley Fabares had wed Bill Gaither, divorced and married Mohammed Atta, Again divorced, and said "I do" with Geraldo Rivera...she would have been..
"Shelley Gaither Atta Rivera" (Where's a gun when ya need one!!!)
Finally, if Tippi Hedren had married James Caan, Tom Ewell, John Lund, Bonnie Tyler, and Desmond Tutu, in that order, she'd be...
(Are you ready for this?) "Tippi Caan Ewell Lund Tyler Tutu"
(Ouch ! Ouch ! No more, we surrender !!!)
(Return to song)
Is your mind filled with pain,
Did you even remain,
If still here, did you groan some tonight?
If still here, did you groan some tonight?
At the words that I write
And be sorry you chose them to read
You might grimace a tad,
Say these are really bad,
Stupid, punny, and corny, indeed ?
You might give up and holler
"This stuff really stinks"
Or read on and snicker
As the next zinger links ?
They may batter your brain,
Put all good sense to shame,
Are you ready to groan some tonight?

the recitation was hilarious...thought this was gonna be about another kind of groaning at first
I was also anticipating what Alvin was anticipating. And, AFW, the estates of Dan Rowan and Dick Martin would like a word with you. Then again, if Lady Sarah Ferguson (a.k.a. the Duchess of York) married Larry Bird, then divorced him and married Magic Johnson, she'd be Lady Bird Johnson.
Farce - OK, I can give as well as I can take. Don't say you didn't ask for this:
An invisible man marries an invisible woman. The kids were nothing to look at either. BA-dump-dump
A man takes his Rottweiler to the vet and says, "My dog's cross-eyed, is there anything you can do for him?" "Well," says the vet, "let's have a look at him" So he picks the dog up and examines his eyes, then checks his teeth Finally, he says, "I'm going to have to put him down." "What? Because he's cross-eyed?" "No, because he's really heavy." Budda-bing!
I went to the butcher's the other day and I bet him 50 bucks that he couldn't reach the meat off the top shelf. He said, "No, the steaks are too high." Wah tisch -pa rump.
Two antennas meet on a roof, fall in love and get married. The ceremony wasn't much, but the reception was excellent. Boing-yoing-yoing.
Two hydrogen atoms walk into a bar. One says, "I've lost my electron." The other says, "Are you sure?" The first replies, "Yes, I'm positive..." Wah-Wah
And finally about your parody title tweaking our already filthy minds
He: Well, he's "grown some"
She: Now she'll "groan some" per-ump-tump
Loved the PUNishment. I groan at them but I still find them funny. Ya done good here Farce.

I usally find plays on words precious and cutsy - poo, but this was quite clever. Now on to vanity license plates: Baryshnikov's license plate should read BLLTJK - ballet jock.
Outstanding, AFW. I love puns-- the more outrageous, the better-and love this parody. Head-singing it in Elvis's voice makes it even funnier. And the memory it evokes of Tim Kazerinski's lab-coated disease pun riffs on SNL is a huge bonus.
Sir L''Air de Farce, " Lord of Zinger " this is great, delightful puns indeed, sir !
he he he
Thanks, alvin, Michael,(good one), Guy, (Hey, a bunch of real good ones), 2eagle,d(good lic. plate idea), Stan, and Coo, and Ann
555 for you, you GENIUS!
fantastic AFW although I can't get the Tippi one to work. In Australia, there's a radioman called John Laws and a footy player called Ty Zantuck. If John Laws had married Ty Zantuck's mother and had a child called Virginia Teresa, the child would be called......
yes, Virginia Teresa Zantuck Laws
555
yes, Virginia Teresa Zantuck Laws

Thanks, Johnny D...and Stuart...About "Tippi..it's kind of a stretch...for "Tippecanoe.and Tyler, too" And you've got a funny one, there..."Zantuck Laws" Lol..
Just a note Sir, L'Air, Tippi & SeanConnery were tres sexie in that Thunder scene in the A. Hitchcock movie, MARNE, 1964
Absolutely fantastic title. Don't see a lot of great Elvis parodies for some reason, excellent choice for TOS too.
Thanks, again, Madame...Yeah, good flick...and thanks, Dave...yeah, there are some good parody pickins with Elvis songs..
A comedian I know told me that a groan is as good as a laugh
I love those punchlines in your song! This is classic! Loved the PUNchlines! You ought to be in Comedy Central because I see it as an excellent stand-up comedy type of music. Great show, AFW!! 555.
Thanks, PMS, and Christie
