The Lyrics
I'm at badave.com
'Cause I stayed up late this evenin',
and I rushed through ev'ry line,
And I finished it at six-thirty
Got ready at the same time
So I'm rushing to the class room tiredly,
Hope that I don't fail
She said it's no good
She x'd ev'ry line
And she said "You're lazy"
She gave me a Thirty-Nine
It's a damn rejected essay I frowned
I do all of my work so half-assedly
I'm late to work for a meeting
Presentation's not yet made
and I spilled Dew on the quarter's
Paperwork and it made it fade
And I crashed Quick Books, And Popped some pills
And I forgot ev'ry plan
Boss said that's no good
And he bi**hed and whined
And he yelled loud at me
and he said GO HOME AND DIE
I'm a damn rejected worker and I
don't do anything right you can plainly see
I've been kicked out of all bars
And they all hate me at Hess
'Cause I always leave a mess
It's on purpose I confess
And my neighbors think I'm one odd dude
They hope I soon move out
They say I'm no good
And I should be fined
'Cause my yards so filthy
And my decors crossed the line
I'm a damn rejected man across town,
Doing the worst things 'cause it all pleases me.
And I'm getting evil stares,
The DMV said that I oughta,
Have every paper ready
'Cause I've been here like foreva
One dude punched me in the chest for
taking way too long--I ached
'Cause I ain't no good
And I'm not too kind
Yes my flaws are lengthy
and I have no sense of time
I'm a damn rejected dude, called a clown
That's why I will now end this song abruptly
and I rushed through ev'ry line,
And I finished it at six-thirty
Got ready at the same time
So I'm rushing to the class room tiredly,
Hope that I don't fail
She said it's no good
She x'd ev'ry line
And she said "You're lazy"
She gave me a Thirty-Nine
It's a damn rejected essay I frowned
I do all of my work so half-assedly
I'm late to work for a meeting
Presentation's not yet made
and I spilled Dew on the quarter's
Paperwork and it made it fade
And I crashed Quick Books, And Popped some pills
And I forgot ev'ry plan
Boss said that's no good
And he bi**hed and whined
And he yelled loud at me
and he said GO HOME AND DIE
I'm a damn rejected worker and I
don't do anything right you can plainly see
I've been kicked out of all bars
And they all hate me at Hess
'Cause I always leave a mess
It's on purpose I confess
And my neighbors think I'm one odd dude
They hope I soon move out
They say I'm no good
And I should be fined
'Cause my yards so filthy
And my decors crossed the line
I'm a damn rejected man across town,
Doing the worst things 'cause it all pleases me.
And I'm getting evil stares,

'Cause I ain't no good
And I'm not too kind
Yes my flaws are lengthy
and I have no sense of time
I'm a damn rejected dude, called a clown
That's why I will now end this song abruptly

Please don't reject my fives, because I would give them all the time for this very clever take on one of my favorite Kinks songs!!!
. . but, Sir B+A+D, your parody writes are still so verrry CABO-WABO . . .
Three well respected 5s.
R - E - S - P - E - C - T; Fives is what it means to me! Sock it to me, sock it to me....
Thank you everyone for your kind reviews!! (Respect. . .that's a fun song too)
Great idea here Dave and I'm surprised that nobody has done "rejected" for this title yet (If they have I haven't seen it)... Lame song, but pretty much all of the Kinks songs were lame.
(Art) I can tell you were somewhat at a loss for inspiration here, Dave. After your first verse which seemed to be about a student, the rest of the parody shot out a lot of quick ideas that didnt get much room to breathe...not sure what a Hess is. But you are still a much respected man. :)544
(Artistry) Definitely an interesting idea for a parody, if not so well executed. Basically insert what Agrimorfee said here, vote included. But with a slight Australian accent, because I said so.
Since it is being said, again. . .
Hess is a popular gas station brand in the South East
This idea was not uninspired, it--like most my parodies that describe a person with a negative attribute--progresses through his life. The first verse is during the youth, however, as the title suggests--this isn't about someone in their 'youth' it is about a man, and it's showing examples through his past. . .but thank you, just thought I'd explain a bit

(Artistry) Having lived in South Carolina and Florida back mumble mumble years ago, I know what a Hess is, but I didn't get the progression through the guy's life until you pointed it out Dave....I think the line "And my neighbors think I'm one odd dude" applies to a lot of us here at AmIRight :-)))))
This is not 1s-worthy...WTF?
