Song Parodies -> "Teeny Teeny (Tin Man)"
Original Song Title:
"We Beseech Thee"
Original Performer:
The Godspell Gang
Parody Song Title:
"Teeny Teeny (Tin Man)"
Parody Written by:
Harpo Weezey
The Lyrics
In the movie "The Wiz" the Tin Man said Teeny Teeny (all thanks to Nostalgia Critic). In the movie "Godspell" the song "We Beseech Thee" was cut. So it's time for me to combine them both. (Plus MJ is Michael Jackson, and Stroke is just a line from the Godspell movie)
Watching Godspell on TV
You know it makes me happy
But there is something funny
Teeny Teeny
Tin Man!
That's something from a movie
A movie I've never seen
It's not from 1973
Teeny Teeny
Tin Man!
Come sing about the Wiz!
From 1978
Come sing about the Wiz!
Oh yes, isn't it great?
Come sing about the Wiz!
There ain't no funny fate
Teeny Teeny
Tin Man!
MJ!
He plays the Scarecrow now
Brains!
This just makes us feel proud
Happy!
For the actors now!
Teeny Teeny
Tin Man!
STROKE!
That's from the wrong movie
Honk!
You know Harpo does that
Movies, there's so much to see
Teeny Teeny
Tin Man!
Come sing about the Wiz
(WIZ!)
From 1978
Come sing about the Wiz
(WIZ!)
Oh yes, isn't it great?
Come sing about the Wiz
(WIZ!)
WIZ!
(WIZ!)
There ain't no funny fate
Teeny Teeny
Tin Man!
Gather round my children please
You'll see the greatest of ease
Harpo Marx on the flying trapeze!
Teeny Teeny
Tin Man!
Nipsey Russell played Tin Man
He said "Teeny Teeny" man
He wanted an oil can
Teeny Teeny
Tin Man!
Boom chicka boom chicka boom chick chick
Chicka boom chicka boom chicka boom chick chick
(clock ticking, then animal sounds, then random things come in, and then someone sings a high note and it bothers everyone)
Groucho: QUIET!
People: *gasp*
Groucho: Duh. Okay, fine. Go on.
People: YAY!
(big finale)
Now you know what we just said
You will somehow go to bed
No one makes your face turn red
Teeny Teeny
Tin Man!
Come sing about the Wiz
(WIZ!)
From 1978

There ain't no funny fate with the Wiz
(WIZ!)
WIZ!

Hey it's the Wiz!
You just sang falsetto!
Teeny Teeny
Tin Man!

Harpo - Ahh, memories! I still can't get over that, in the 1973 Godspell, the Jesus character was none other than a very young Victor Garber! Fine job, and I think I'll "Turn Back O Man" and "Ease On Down The Road"! ;D
To Old Man Ribber: I thought about it until I watched a Godspell parody video. No worries. I might make a parody with Turn Back O Man next.
