The Lyrics
...a nod to john barry for the ol' yeller inspiration...
in the town...where i was born
lived a dog...belovedly
twas a sad...end to his life
cause he had...a bad disease
so we nailed...him with a gun
though we found...it brought unease
then we dug...that beast a grave
poor ol' yeller...he's deceased
life was grim when ol' yeller got diseased
fella was diseased...hell, we were displeased
life was grim when ol' yeller got diseased
fella was diseased...hell, we were displeased
twas an act...we all deplored
bullets tore in him...what a roar
and his leg...began to flail
thumpety thump a thump-a-dump
a thump-a-dump...a thump-a-dump
life was grim when ol' yeller got diseased
fella was diseased...hell, we were displeased
life was grim when ol' yeller got diseased
fella was diseased...hell, we were displeased
SPOKEN:
right in the head of this barker...right in the head
looks like he's dead, sir
wait a minute...wait a minute
nope...still yappin'....yappin'
and we grieve..this bag o' fleas (bag o' fleas)
every one of us (every one of us)
in horror, seized (in horror seized)
sighted true (sighted true)
and trigger squeezed (trigger squeezed)
cause ol yeller (cause ol' yeller)
was diseased (was diseased)
WAH..HAH !
life was grim when ol' yeller got diseased
fella was diseased...hell, we were displeased
life was grim when ol' yeller got diseased
fella was diseased...hell, we were displeased
life was grim when ol' yeller got diseased
fella was diseased...hell, we were displeased
life was grim when ol' yeller got diseased
fella was diseased...hell, we were displeased
lived a dog...belovedly
twas a sad...end to his life
cause he had...a bad disease
so we nailed...him with a gun
though we found...it brought unease
then we dug...that beast a grave
poor ol' yeller...he's deceased
life was grim when ol' yeller got diseased
fella was diseased...hell, we were displeased
life was grim when ol' yeller got diseased
fella was diseased...hell, we were displeased
twas an act...we all deplored
bullets tore in him...what a roar
and his leg...began to flail
thumpety thump a thump-a-dump
a thump-a-dump...a thump-a-dump
life was grim when ol' yeller got diseased
fella was diseased...hell, we were displeased
life was grim when ol' yeller got diseased
fella was diseased...hell, we were displeased
SPOKEN:
right in the head of this barker...right in the head

Best doggone dog in the west...555
Now I've got to see Old Yeller again, to get this ending out of my mind LOL Great , as usual
No bone to pick with this one, alvin, it left me Helplessly Yelping out laughter - 5's ~ ~ ~
thanks IB, dee and paul
My fave of the day, with or without the nod--especially the "thumpety thump" bridge.
Damn you, Rhodes! You MAKE me laugh even when screwing with my PC compass. 555+
Loved the flailing leg! You crack me up. :-)
LOL... I'd imagine making this subject funny was a challenge, but you succeeded with great effect...
You turned Old Yeller into a golden parody...

thanks AFW...i have another yeller parody slated for next week, that is a bit sadder
Good parody, Alvin, but I'm more impressed by your comment. You crank out a parody a day and you have them scheduled a week (or more) in advance?

Sad to think of a very hurt dog when singing this. But it was a great parody. All 5's.
