The Lyrics

Revenge is a dish best served cold.....
I loaned some cash to you
And then you disappeared
You said you'd pay me back
But it's been twenty years
And though I scream and yell
You just say "Go to hell"
'Cos you don't owe me
(Yea you still owe me)

(You) say you don't owe me none
I scream "That isn't right"
I smash you in the lips
You counter with a right
Yea you knocked me out
It was a vicious clout
But you still owe me
(Yea you still owe me)

No I never knew the art of boxing gloves
Now my head aches with pain from you
Afraid I'd die, you let those punches fly
I'm seein' stars and angels too
(Angels too)

You kept on beatin' me
I closed my one good eye
"I'll get you good" I said
You let a left hook fly
They say that my skull is cracked
Maybe a broken back
But you still owe me

'Cos I never knew the art of boxing gloves
With my nose flat, ribs broke in two
About to die, I watch the nurse go by
Hope that a priest is coming too

Oh, they say the eulogy
My friends all moan and cry
Yes they just buried me
Beside some rotten guys
You better watch your back
I paid to have you whacked
'Cos you still owe me
(You still owe me, You still owe me)

that's right - carry that fury beyond the grave, Dee!! - your attempt at revenge didn't happen while you were dead drunk in the middle of the road by any chance? (because that would explain a lot) - funny stuff - 555 ( a bit of that Desperate Housewives voiceover character crept in here too, I reckon ;-))

Very funny! What is it with parody authors getting beaten up today? This is the third one on that subject today! The other two (mine and Billy Boyd's) are about getting beat by women! Go figure...anyway, you get fives and I'll get even!

If you loan someone 10 bucks and then never see that person again, it was probably worth it (and they'll undoubtable get the dentist they deserve somewhere else anyway).

Peter...LOL....good thoughts in a karmic way
