The Lyrics
Ever had a boss you thought should retire and get outta your hair. I haven't. But I'm pretending I have for the Parody Decathlon...
Work
Ain't my fave pastime
'Cause my boss
Treats me like pond slime
While I
Make phone wires
I really
Think he should retire
My boss says that I should get my ass fired
I can't say "Get stuffed!"
I just say "Yes, sire"
And I think while my
Forehead perspires
He should retire
I can't say that by him I am inspired
I would like to tie
Him up with a tire
And the company
Should all aspire:
Make him retire
His fate
Can't be unsealed
Ten years
That's the better deal
Could've been
Hung, drawn and sliced
But, I was feeling nice
Smash his head with an old-fashioned wood lyre
I could get him banned
Pass out lots of flyers
Though I am too kind
Can't be a liar
Make him retire
Send him back to his home town Lincolnshire
Whatever we do
New boss we must hire
Get him out of here
Stuck in the mire
He should retire
For all the times he
Provoked my ire
He should retire
He must retire (repeat)
Ain't my fave pastime
'Cause my boss
Treats me like pond slime
While I
Make phone wires
I really
Think he should retire
My boss says that I should get my ass fired
I can't say "Get stuffed!"
I just say "Yes, sire"
And I think while my
Forehead perspires
He should retire
I can't say that by him I am inspired
I would like to tie
Him up with a tire
And the company
Should all aspire:
Make him retire
His fate
Can't be unsealed
Ten years
That's the better deal
Could've been
Hung, drawn and sliced
But, I was feeling nice
Smash his head with an old-fashioned wood lyre
I could get him banned
Pass out lots of flyers
Though I am too kind
Can't be a liar
Make him retire
Send him back to his home town Lincolnshire
Whatever we do
New boss we must hire
Get him out of here
Stuck in the mire
He should retire
For all the times he
Provoked my ire
He should retire
He must retire (repeat)
That's first parody since I got kicked off because my brothersleft the Xbox unpacked, and the second parody that references Cat's "Things That Provoke My Ire".I used this mp3 while writing this.

LOL his is awesom Bobpieconquerorofparodies! 555!
The same could be said for some doctors.
yeah now that's a good song right there I am too young to have a job but I have pretended and written a song called "I Hate This Job" a parody of "Achy Breaky Heart" in which a man is sick of his job I have to say this is really funny and matched pacing perfectly 555
I've been there, done that. While at Dairy Queen I had a total devil of a boss, if you were having a bad day he'd make it worse. If you were new he would totally bad mouth you until another newbie joined the team. If you were slower than he was at making ice cream he would yell at you. He was also a pervert and flirted with every female employee there. Yeah, he was a total bum.
a geriatric 555

(decath2) great title sub for the comp, bobpie, and gee Rhymezone got a thorough working-over for this one - wooden lyre? - lol - 555
(DEC6) Great fun, bobpie. I have to concur with Stu...lyre? Lincolnshire? hehehehe. 555
Very well done, I really enjoyed this
Decathlon...for someone who's never had a horrific boss, you've done a smashing job of writing an anthem for rest of us who have...; ) Excellent!
