The Lyrics
People are frank
When you're a tanker
No one blows kisses
When you're plan sucks
Clients see curtains
When you're uncertain
Things can run rampant
When amuck
When you tank
Soldiers pull out of the ranks
When you tank
No one's forgetting who stank
When you tank
When you tank
When you tank
People will clench
When there's no clincher
Faces turn cherry
When you're a clown
Vaudeville throws veggies
When you're unvarnished
Grease paint is stripping
When in town
When you tank
Produce assuages the prank
When you tank
No one assembled pays thanks
When you tank
When you tank
When you tank
Oh hell no!
When you tank
Organs will grind with a crank
When you tank
Monkeys will dance in phalanx
When you tank
When you tank
When you tank
When you're a tanker
No one blows kisses
When you're plan sucks
Clients see curtains
When you're uncertain
Things can run rampant
When amuck
When you tank
Soldiers pull out of the ranks
When you tank
No one's forgetting who stank
When you tank
When you tank
When you tank
People will clench
When there's no clincher
Faces turn cherry
When you're a clown
Vaudeville throws veggies
When you're unvarnished
Grease paint is stripping
When in town
When you tank
Produce assuages the prank
When you tank
No one assembled pays thanks
When you tank
When you tank
When you tank
Oh hell no!
When you tank
Organs will grind with a crank
When you tank
Monkeys will dance in phalanx
When you tank
When you tank
When you tank

When I get tanked, I say "You're Welcome"
Thanks Yoidy, The Doors had a great organist so it worked. Thanks AFW, and alvin
Congratulations, Lionel - for writing a good parody out of a song that has very few different lyrics in it. I did one for "Love Me Do"...an OS with exactly 18 different words in it...lots of repetition. This couldn't have too many more. Nice job...5's ~ ~ ~
