Parody Song Title:	"Learning To Swim"
Parody Written by:	Agrimorfee

Going the distance, the river looks black
But what's the point? There's no turning back
My guide is Nancy; my fate is sealed
Out near the dock, I cannot yield
A rubber floater holding me at the waist. Did
I go for this with considerable haste?
Looking at Nancy just gets me high
I'll just admit it, I'm a beach-bound, lovesick guy
She criticizes my water wings
She says sweetly, "You won't need those silly things"
Get me outta here, I wanna go home
Just let me go back to find a phone
My sole intention was learning to swim
And I'm sure glad this wasn't in the high school gym
I need some goggles to cover my eyes
I'll just admit it, I'm a beach-bound, lovesick guy
She lets me go, I say a prayer
My flapping arms are reaching out for empty air
Across the water, I see my life flash by
Hey, look out, Mama—I am going to die
I grab for something to set me free
The thing I grab is Nancy's bikini
There's ten more lessons to add to this
Maybe I should learn the rest from Sis
Can't keep my mind off of Nan, though I try
I'll just admit it, I'm a beach-bound, lovesick guy

Good song...I sang half of it to Tom Petty's version when I realized I was off (my bad)

Meriadoc, I will go see "Halve a Guitar" if you will go see my "The Pile of Bricks"!

very nice parody with a summer feel to the lyric .. loved the beachbound lovesick guy refrain.... rolls off the tongue....( and that is definitely not intended to be any kind of double entendre!!

I don't know this song...but I have a question about what you said about my "My Favorite Boys" parody of "My Favorite Things." What does Arwenesque mean? Thanks.

Agrimorfee - August 21, 2007 - Report this comment

Hey Ragdoll, thanks for reading...Arwen is one Amiright's favorite authors, and her parody style is very autobiographical, often her adventures as a single woman in the first person...not to assume your work was autobiographical. :) keep on writing!
