The Lyrics
They keep brayin’; spew-bunk nothings bore me;
nothing they squall’s got me impressed.
They’re expressin’ fare that’s in need of redressin’.
This crowd’s something else—never give it a rest.
These boobs are paid for talkin’?!
That’s what they, ceaseless, do.
Every day these boobs are gonna squawk all over you.
They keep lyin’; alien to them’s truthin’,
and up they keep goosing levels of fear and threat—“Boo!”
Ain’t no shamin’ them for spurious claimin’.
What ain’t blight is trite, and most ain’t been right yet
These boobs are paid for talkin’?!
That’s what they, ceaseless, do.
Every day these boobs are gonna squawk. . .god, no: “The View”!
They keep splayin’ their lips for vocal preyin’.
This crew ain’t thinkin’ as senseless phrases churn—bunk!
They astound me, these gab goons bought for gassing, yuck!
Their constant crowing makes me want to squirm.
These boobs are paid for talkin’?!
Butt cracks stuck where there’s moue.
Every day these boobs are gonna squawk until they’re blue
Arrgh! The dreaded boobs
start squawkin’!!
[fade on overlapping shrieking/screaming]
nothing they squall’s got me impressed.

That’s what they, ceaseless, do.
Every day these boobs are gonna squawk all over you.
They keep lyin’; alien to them’s truthin’,
and up they keep goosing levels of fear and threat—“Boo!”
Ain’t no shamin’ them for spurious claimin’.
What ain’t blight is trite, and most ain’t been right yet

At first, I thought this would be about talking tits. Now THAT would be funny! I'm somewhat put off by your style. I'm referring to twisted sentences and phrases like "That's what they, ceaseless, do" and "spew-bunk nothings." Eccentric, poetic, but straightforward sentences promote singability and comprehension.
Misleading title, but 555!
god, no: "The View"! my sentiments exactly! 5s
Classical high class word play. I like those "twisted" phrases. They are signs of a large vocabulary and skilled phraseology. And making them fit the melody and emphasis of someone else's original tune is the mark of one of our first rate parody writers. Good to see you are still writing.
Chacun a son gout, Patrick. However, conflating twisted sentences with skilled phraseology, etc., gets you nicked by Occam's Razor. The simple explanation for awkward construction lies in the struggle to conform with pacing and rhyme. As for large vocabulary, that will out — no matter what. Even here, the simple almost always trumps the rare. To change the subject, it is about time that JAB was accorded the courtesy of something more useful than worship. How else will he improve?
If I haven't improved after 4300 of these things, there's probably no hope. ? has a point: Some of my semantic strangulations do make singing the ditties difficult. I just can't stop myself. Thanks for the comments/critiques, all.
Nice OS too JAB! Keep writing! You should go for 5000!
Can't believe the show's still going! 555
Sweden's so feminazist now that an expression such as "boobs talking" used in this parody would be impossible to speak in public. But of course, that only makes me wanna write a song using it...
Be careful Peter, don't fall into a booby trap!
