Parody Song Title:

"Why Do We Get Bends?"

Parody Written by:

Alvin Rhodes

why do we get bends ?...why do we get bends ?
why do we get bends ?...why do we get bends ?

if you've been down there, for a long long time
you must remember to be slow to climb

why do we get bends ?...why do we get bends ?
why do we get bends ?...why do we get bends ?

you'll get those nasty bubbles, i have found
in all that nitrogen, that's hangin' 'round

why do we get bends ?...why do we get bends ?
why do we get bends ?...why do we get bends ?

you're breathin' pressured air, inside that line
you'd best be careful and just take your time

why do we get bends ?...why do we get bends ?
why do we get bends ?...why do we get bends ?

big blotches on your skin can cause agony
won't happen if you take it carefully

why do we get bends ?...why do we get bends ?
why do we get bends ?...why do we get bends ?

you might get dizzy like your mind is bent
so cautious risin' is some time well spent

why do we get bends ?...why do we get bends ?
why do we get bends ?...why do we get bends ?

sometimes, i don't...dive...right
but yet i know that you'd better watch out

why do we get bends ?...why do we get bends ?
why do we get bends ?...why do we get bends ?

a coughin' spasm is the price you'll pay
it might not kill ya, but again, it may

why do we get bends ?...why do we get bends ?
why do we get bends ?...why do we get bends ?

I'd rather get a Benz, than the bends...unique theme..very well done..where I'm from, we used to call 'em cramps...but I guess, nowadays that's more of a feminine condition...5's

Not familiar with War, but 5s for a quirky idea.

What Stephen Harrington said; ingenious title switch and theme... 555 lbs. of air left, so back to the boat for now.
Dive resorts in the Caribbean played a (parody?) song, two lines of which I remember are:
I need a couple of doses
Of nit-ro-gen narcosis....Anyone know the rest? - TT
