The Lyrics
It's just one of those "Things" that I've been thinking about...
Benjamin J. Grimm sure is "fantastic",
'Cause his best bud's a guy who's part plastic.
Strong like an ox,orange like pumpkins.
He is just one of my favorite "Things"!
A ghastly pale right hand whose last name is Addams,
Slips through the air vents and under the doorjambs-
-of a grim mansion where "spooky" is king,
It is but one of my favorite "Things"!
The Cat in the Hat brought this mischievous duo
A pair of miscreants called "Thing" one and "Thing" two(oh)
They're wrecking the place as the Cat with Hat sings,
that they're two more of his favorite "Things"
When mayhem comes,
When chaos strikes,
When it's clobbering time.
It's time to call upon my favorite "things"-
-those "Things" that are real---sublime
'Cause his best bud's a guy who's part plastic.
Strong like an ox,orange like pumpkins.
He is just one of my favorite "Things"!
A ghastly pale right hand whose last name is Addams,
Slips through the air vents and under the doorjambs-
-of a grim mansion where "spooky" is king,
It is but one of my favorite "Things"!
The Cat in the Hat brought this mischievous duo
A pair of miscreants called "Thing" one and "Thing" two(oh)
They're wrecking the place as the Cat with Hat sings,
that they're two more of his favorite "Things"
When mayhem comes,
When chaos strikes,
When it's clobbering time.
It's time to call upon my favorite "things"-
-those "Things" that are real---sublime
Tha play on words' the "Thing"!

Well aren't you clever!
This made me smile, TTP! 5s...
The "Things" I do for votes! Thanks to my favorite two letters of the alphabet-"A"and"A",you've made my day!
Iffy pacing in verse 1 aside, this was fun! 455
Fun to thing-along to!
Awww....TTP....I love you!
The things I read on amiright. Well done TTP. I really like parodies done to this song. I've done several myself. And just one more thing - three 5's.
As do I!
Very clever.
Thanks again A-1 and A-2./ Kristof,I really wanted to add a syllable to lines 1 and 3,but I thought that both those lines would've made too long ,rather than too short.(I'm just glad people still remember The Things' real name!),thanks for your comments and your votes! Johnny D ,Guy,John Barry,my thanks to you as well.
