The Lyrics
We are young
Outside McDonalds we stand
No vegetables, nothing bland
Lunch is a Happy Meal
We make noise, better not take us to Roy's
Search through the box for the toys
All of us knowing
Lunch is a Happy Meal
I'm begging you to go, you're making me stay
Why is your cooking so bad?
Would it help if you knew
I won't whine on the way, cause it's the best food I've had
Believe me, it's greasy, the best you can buy
Cause I need those nuggets, and an order of fries
We are young
Outside McDonalds we stand
No vegetables, nothing bland
Lunch is a Happy Meal
We make noise, better not take us to Roy's
Search through the box for the toys
All of us knowing
Lunch is a Happy Meal
The arches are gold
And Ronald will say, why don't you come on inside?
And when I get old, will I still get to play
Or will I just supersize?
But if we wait much longer, I could start to cry
And if you keep me happy, you know what to buy
We are young
Outside McDonalds we stand
No vegetables, nothing bland
Lunch is a Happy Meal
We make noise, better not take us to Roy's
Search through the box for the toys
All of us knowing
Lunch is a Happy Meal
Outside McDonalds we stand
No vegetables, nothing bland
Lunch is a Happy Meal
We make noise, better not take us to Roy's
Search through the box for the toys
All of us knowing
Lunch is a Happy Meal
I'm begging you to go, you're making me stay
Why is your cooking so bad?
Would it help if you knew
I won't whine on the way, cause it's the best food I've had
Believe me, it's greasy, the best you can buy
Cause I need those nuggets, and an order of fries
We are young
Outside McDonalds we stand
No vegetables, nothing bland
Lunch is a Happy Meal
We make noise, better not take us to Roy's
Search through the box for the toys
All of us knowing
Lunch is a Happy Meal
The arches are gold
And Ronald will say, why don't you come on inside?
And when I get old, will I still get to play
Or will I just supersize?
But if we wait much longer, I could start to cry
And if you keep me happy, you know what to buy
We are young
Outside McDonalds we stand
No vegetables, nothing bland
Lunch is a Happy Meal
We make noise, better not take us to Roy's
Search through the box for the toys
All of us knowing
Lunch is a Happy Meal

Love it, great job!!!
isnt it great when people say love it, great job... and don't vote? I don't know the original but congratulations on reaching your goal of 53 parodies
Chorus was perfect. Great job! (Plus I voted).
I always vote first, then go back and comment. I think some people get so caught up in commenting, they forget to vote...
Your pacing was perfect. Couldn't find one syllable that was off! 5-5-5! Funny!
not only did I vote, but love this! thought it was one of your best! --C
EXCELLENT! I think this gets my best parody of the week approval (whatever thats worth)
Um....wow, this was unexpected. Thanks to everyone for looking!
Fantastico! Parody heaven. "Believe me, It's greasy, was magic!
the best parodys , are always the simple, well written Jeff! I nominate this one , as one of the best of the week!
Very good, Jeff!
Jeff Can you e mail me about an interview? hidrucker@aol.com
Damn...Now I'm hungry. I'll go to McDonalds after class. Oh shoot! Got caught off-site! gotta go!
Anybody else in the mood for a reuben sandwich? (That's not a sex joke, Malcolm, Merry & Pip!)
Guess where I'm going for lunch today? Great job :D
This is one of my favorite parodies you've done. I gave you straight fives. Keep up the good work!
Best Food Parody
(L) I've always liked this one! Another amiright classic!
(ABC) DKTOS, Jeff...but it looks as if I'm missing out on a good parody. Reads well anyway.
(ABC) Cute!
(ABC) Liked the line "And when I get old will I still get to play?" I've snuck down the slide in the McDonald's kids play area a couple of times! ;-)
Please to refer to my earlier comments ! They have not changed!!! Good one!
very pertinent commentary on a controversial subject ... have you seen the movie yet????
I only try to do the really serious subjects =) Martha, haven't seen the movie yet...that's the one where someone lives on McDonald's food for 30 days and has serious health problems, right? Kind of the anti-Jared from Subway.
Great parody about a great song. Best wishes from Brazil
Holy Toledo - I didn't realise you'd done one so similar too, Jeff - and actually Lunch fits better too - in fact I like yours better overall - d'OH! - 555 :-)
That was really great! Sadly, I love that song, but that parody was fantastic- I have to show all my friends now.
Thanks Lisa! There is an awful recording of it up here as well (I'll have to try to redo it):
