The Lyrics
OK... how may people are completely honest when completing a résumé? (Apart from me, that is ;-) )
Résumé, gotta say a little lie-o
A fib or three on my CV, on my bio
I should stop making up when I apply-o
But, oh what fun saying things I've done on my bio
Chorus:
Jumbo liar! Pants on fire! Ain't it fun, though?
'Cause last year said I appeared on TV-o
Been a blond, played James Bond, yes, a spy-o
It's fun, all right, when I'm a-writ-ing my bio
This can't fail: went to Yale for my degree-o
Doris Day, JFK all worked for me-oh
Understand I own land in Ohio
So you ask why the hell do I need a bio?
Chorus
Expliquez, je sais c'est ce que j'ai pensé
Café au lait, regardez: je sais parler Francais
Foreign tongues, smart and young - that's me oh my oh
And there'll be more lies galore on the bio
Chorus
Made my coat from a goat - a merino
Looked a sight, hair was white - an albino
Had to go to Middlesbro' - see Juninho
Is it true? I don't care - do you? It's my bio!
Final chorus:
Jumbo liar! Pants on fire! Ain't it fun, though?
Makin' up all kinds of stuff for my CV-oh
Referees if you please, I can buy, oh
Son of a bitch, I'm gettin' rich from the bio
Son of a bitch, I'm gettin' rich from the bio
Son of a bitch, I'm gettin' rich from the bio
A fib or three on my CV, on my bio
I should stop making up when I apply-o
But, oh what fun saying things I've done on my bio
Chorus:
Jumbo liar! Pants on fire! Ain't it fun, though?
'Cause last year said I appeared on TV-o
Been a blond, played James Bond, yes, a spy-o
It's fun, all right, when I'm a-writ-ing my bio
This can't fail: went to Yale for my degree-o
Doris Day, JFK all worked for me-oh
Understand I own land in Ohio
So you ask why the hell do I need a bio?
Chorus

60s? I thought Hank Williams was dead by then. Shouldn't it be "misc"? Nice parody, though.
Laugh riot-o. Fives-o.
Totally goofball! Love the non-sequitur rhymes. 555
Book-'em, Danno - - - HUMOR-ONE! 5-5-5!
funny as hell and fun to sing along with...bravo !
Aoid, who cares? This parody was great and that's all that matters!
DKTOS but I had to check it out because of the subject, seems you're once again two steps ahead of me. :-/
I'm trusting the others on pacing so here's another 555 to the (not so) miniscule honest section of that bio.

555 for good lyrics. That could be about a lot of celebrities.
Great title and you nailed it
Monthly ISP fee: $18.
Monthly phone bill: $60.
Reading a hilarious, well-executed song parody--PRICELESS.
Still, I owe you three 5's for your latest!

:-D Thanks, all... it was kind of fun to write, too. Incidentally, has anyone run the French through google? Not that it actually means anything, of course ;-)
excellent parody Philbo
The title alone is worthy of fives. Good job :D
First rate.
As a former HR professional, I'm shocked and distressed to read this -- I had no idea people fibbed on their CVs! But as a parody writer, this is funny as hell.
(ABC05) see above
(ABC05) Aside from not having a single clue what the French part means this is very good, no lie.
This is how you got ahead in the world. Creative writing!
(ABC) See above!
(ABC) Reminds me of my own "Lying on the Form." This is better, though. Great job!
(ABC05) 555 Pure Philbo here. :-)
( J ) LOVED this! I was wondering why I hadn't seen it before, then I saw you posted it the week before I arrived here - top stuff, Phil - loved the "Ohio" fit!! - 555
Oh yes, I always knock off a few years from my age... which usually results in me getting about $10 per hour LESS than I should get... anyhoo, hilarious parody with brilliant rhyming as per usual.
"Bring me a small lyre" ...oh, thank you =)

Glad that I happened by your fun bio
For, tho’ lies, I ‘m gonna treat’em as if re-al…
Say they are quite bizarre? That’s okay-o --
Sun of a gun, what big fun readin' this bio! :-)
This is delightful, Phil. I did something similar with the periodically updated bio I've sent off for various school reuinons, etc.

You are a f***ing genius. Are you married? I
WWJD? First he would take out the nails so he can scratch his balls, then he would pass the torch to you.
:-D Thank you Roberta.. you've made my day (and in answer to your question, yes).
