The Lyrics
Women somehow seem to find out early
all the one-percenters and the tricks
they seem to have blokes by the short and curlies
in matters where their blokes and them conflict
My oh my, your team has made the play-offs
for the first time since no-one can recollect
The same day your wife's niece is getting married
Nervously you ask for a rain-check.....
She replies.....
"You decide!"
and her smile
is a thin disguise!
Boy, by now, you should realize....
there aint no way around that "You decide!"
The next year your mate's son is on the draft list
he gets picked up at twelve by Santa Fe
He bulks up and impresses the selectors
gets MVP in half the games he plays
Trophy night you've scored yourself a ticket
You've backed your boy one hundred on the nose
the same night your wife's girlfriend's graduating
You ask her if she minds if you don't go....
She replies.....
"You decide!"
and her smile
is a thin disguise!
Boy, by now, you should realize....
there aint no way around that "You decide!"
all the one-percenters and the tricks
they seem to have blokes by the short and curlies
in matters where their blokes and them conflict
My oh my, your team has made the play-offs
for the first time since no-one can recollect
The same day your wife's niece is getting married
Nervously you ask for a rain-check.....
She replies.....
"You decide!"
and her smile
is a thin disguise!
Boy, by now, you should realize....
there aint no way around that "You decide!"
The next year your mate's son is on the draft list
he gets picked up at twelve by Santa Fe
He bulks up and impresses the selectors
gets MVP in half the games he plays
Trophy night you've scored yourself a ticket
You've backed your boy one hundred on the nose
the same night your wife's girlfriend's graduating
You ask her if she minds if you don't go....
She replies.....
"You decide!"
and her smile
is a thin disguise!
Boy, by now, you should realize....
there aint no way around that "You decide!"

Minor pacing errors, but a really insightful, funny piece..oh go on, decide whether you want these 5s..
thanks Kristof - it paced properly for me - maybe I've misremembered the original..........Chucky G told me to resubmit this and delete the first submission because I misspelt my own name the first time, ("a" instead of "A") and it didn't go under my authorship - sorry to anyone reading it a second time
I decided to vote 5-5-5 for this decisively-clever parody!
thanks Johnny - as long as it was YOUR decision
I decided to read it again...and I decided it still deserves 555
What Dee said.
And I'm ashamed to admit that I TOTALLY pulled that on my boyfriend this morning...

You gotta set your priorities. 5s.
Very clever concept! :-)
thanks Dee! - that's 30 altogether - I'll be sure to return the favour!......ash - lol, go back home and apologise - NOW ! (and thanks for the 5s - btw where are your new ones? - haven't seen any for a while)......thanks heaps John A......Meriadoc - it's a concept us guys have gotta learn fast - or we're doomed I tells ya
Cool! And do my 5s look fat on this?
(without looking) "They look beautiful darling...hurry, we're late" - or that's my programmed response.....thanks Steve
(ABC-Y) Was it difficult for you to decide what to submit for this round? I think you made a good decision, but you decide, ok?
Sweet!
(ABC) good one, Stu. 5's
Here, take a guilt complex and these 5s on de-cide.
(ABC) I can't decide who will win the competion. :( :)
I decided a long time ago that we're stuck with women.
The Big Guy decided a long time ago that women are stuck with US.
(ABC) See above!

LOL! Sorry I missed this the first time around! Been there =)
thanks Guy, Leo, Adagio, Luke, Agri, Rick, Johnny and Jeff
understandable Jeff, since this was my very first parody submission :-)

Ha... I was thinking exactly what Jeff wrote. This was a great one to start with, Stuart.
I gotta either present my DKTOS, or make a judgement just on the lyrics and then give you 555 out of peer pressure. I can't decide (pause for utter silence and some cricket sounds)... so I'll just do both and call it even.
