The Lyrics

I'm getting 4, adding 3 plus 9.
"That should be 12!" sister madly whines.
So she raps my knuckles with a ruler of wood, ow, damn!
Something tells me I've not done summing good.
(Something tells me I've not done summing.)

She's a nun tryin' to teach me pi.
I mess up and she punches my eye.
She smacks me so hard, it dislodges her hood.
(Smacks so hard, it dislodges her hood.
Something tells me I've not done summing good.
Something tells me I've not done summing.)

She asks irately, "What is 3 plus 2?"
I say, "7"; and then she strikes me with her shoe.
She says she'll show me "tough love";
I try "14" and she gives me a shove.
(I try "14" and she gives me a shove.)

I once talked back and she rapped my hand;
Kneed me in the nuts so hard I couldn't stand.
She grabbed my by the left ear and pulled me up till I stood.
(She grabbed me by the ear and pulled till I stood.)
Something tells what is next coming: wood.
(Something tells what is next coming,
Something tells what is next coming, Ohh!)

She walked behind me and dropped my pants
She said, "I am gonna give you one more chance!
Get this one right and I won't spank. Understood?"
("Get it right and I won't spank. Understood?!)

Summing's wrong; she gives me a bum sting, wood.
(Summing' wrong; she gives me a bum sting.)
[etc., fade]

I agree with AFW. By teh way, TOS is called "I'm Into Something Good."

Lurker, you really should stop putting your self-loathing transference on display for all to see. Sartre almost had it right. Hell is not other people. It's a single person, you.

Thanks AFW, baa (and for the correction), Alvin, Dr.

To "Lurker": shut up. If you have nothing better to do than going around and insulting everybody, then you don't belong here. I would be more than happy to report your comment and have the moderators remove it.

Capital (punishment) idea, old chap. Sounds as though Sis's sense of humor was "nun."
BTW, TT may have to post a parody on Ones-guy in the next day or two.

Great work John. 5 whacks.

Lurker: You used to be so polite (well, not), but now you resort to comments like above.
Jerker - March 21, 2006 - Report this comment
Don't worry, Lurker's comment is gone now. Abrasive comments like the one he/she/it wrote will be hunted down and destroyed; I'm sure Chuckie would agree with me. I reported it yesterday and it got erased.
