The Lyrics
I never wanted to stutter
I only wanted to talk
My voice is choppy and cluttered
How am I gonna get through?
"I can't understand you!"
I tried going to speech class: got to talk right
I couldn't get the words out
It-it-it-it's a real pain
How am I gonna get through?
"I can't understand you!"
In the streets and in my shower
I try to speak, I try for hours
Everyday, I try to talk, don't have the power
So tell me
(Wuh-Wuh)Why do I? (Wuh-Wuh)Why do I? (Wuh-Wuh)Why do I stuh-stutter like this?
(Wuh-Wuh)Why do I? (Wuh-Wuh)Why do I? (Wuh-Wuh)Why do I stuh-stutter like this?
(Wuh-Wuh)Why do I? (Wuh-Wuh)Why do I? (Wuh-Wuh)Why do I?
Tongue gets in the way
People hang up the phone
I make lots of noise
But the words are unknown
There's no way to make my speech better
I don't know
How I'm going to get through?
(Wuh-Wuh)Why do I? (Wuh-Wuh)Why do I? (Wuh-Wuh)Why do I stuh-stutter like this?
"I can't understand you!"
(Wuh-Wuh)Why do I? (Wuh-Wuh)Why do I? (Wuh-Wuh)Why do I stuh-stutter like this?
I always wanted to say something I couldn't
I always stutter too much
I buh-buh-babble forever (and ever)
How am I going to get through?
"I can't understand you!"
People think I'm a weirdo
I try to talk, they turn and go
Wasting time from hour to hour
Keep making fun, I'll hide and cower
(Wuh-Wuh)Why do I? (Wuh-Wuh)Why do I stuh-stuh-stuh-stuh-stuh??
(Wuh-Wuh)Why do I? (Wuh-Wuh)Why do I? (Wuh-Wuh)Why do I stuh-stuh-stuh-DANG IT?!
(Wuh-Wuh)Why do I? (Wuh-Wuh)Why do I? (Wuh-Wuh)Why do I?
Puh-puh-people stare
Hah-hah-HAH--hang the phone
Nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-noise
Buh-BUH-buh-BUH-BUH-groan!
No-no way, me not able talk right
I don't know
How I'm going to get through?
(Wuh-Wuh)Why do I? (Wuh-Wuh)Why do I? (Wuh-Wuh)Why do I stuh-stuh-stuh-stuh-stuh?
"I can't understand you!"
(Wuh-Wuh)Why do I? (Wuh-Wuh)Why do I? (Wuh-Wuh)Wuh-wuh-wuh-Why can't I just talk?
How I'm going to get through?
(Wuh-Wuh)Why do I? (Wuh-Wuh)Why do I? (Wuh-Wuh)Why do I stuh-stuh-stuh-stuh-stuh?
"I can't understand you!"
(Wuh-Wuh)Why do I? (Wuh-Wuh)Why do I? (Wuh-Wuh)Why do I st-st-st-st-st-st-st-st?
(sigh and fade out)

Fah-fah f-f-f-f-f- faaah-faah-fabulous, J-j-j-j-j-j.....I give up. 555
LOL! You never fail to deliver, Jeff...and I've got another KILLER comment in the wings...which I shall post later in the day...if nobody else has used it...; )
And for the record...it isn't your stutter that makes me think you're a weirdo.

Jeff, I hate to say this but, The Pet Shop Boys didn't do this first. I think it was originally sung by Porky Pig. :-) 555
Thanks Kristof, Arwen and Rick! Rick...if I could do a good Porky Pig imitation, that would make for a great mp3 =)
Why do you stutter like this? Must be a g-g-generational thing.
I s-s-s-sympathize.
you call that stuttering? b-b-b-baby, you aint seen nothin yet - great idea, and very funny jeff - 555
Lol, and Stu beat me to the obvious song that stuttering is is is used in.
I th-th-think I enj-j-joyed th-th-this one. (I'm starting to sound like Porky Pig now!) Anywa-wa-way, hh-h-here's a perfect vote for ya! =) Ke-ke-keep up the good work!
Well it's about time you got your bbbutt bbback to writing ppparodies. I picture Kevin Kline singing this about Michael Palin. Love this OS; love this parody. And I'm still waiting for Arwen's KKKILLER cccomment.
(ABC)Uh, uh, u,h u,h ,uh, uh, th-th-tht-th-th-that's pretty cl-cl-cl-cl aw...good.
(ABCW) Still funny. Perhaps the problem might be too much caffeine or the f-f-f-f-freezing cold weather. ;-)
(ABCW) d-d-d-D-k-k-k-K-t-t-t-T-uh-uh-uh-O-e-e-e-e-S, but it's good.
love the pet shop boys and this is well good top marks
G-g-g-g-g-grrrreat one!!! Execpt you should have ended it out with the famous Porky Pig line... "Th-th-th-th-th-th-th-that's all folks!"
gee, way to go with all the stutter gags everyone (including me, I admit) - so there are none left AT ALL for me to claim - very funny Jeff
(ABC) What everybody else stuttered!
(ABC05) Nicely done, Mr. Reu, ah-Reu, ma-ma-ma-Reub, a-nah.....Jeff! 555
(ABC) See above. A class effort, Mr Reuben
ABC Funny one.
I am CRYING Jeff! SOOOOOO funny! The OS is one of my faves too. And yes, I know I'm late, but it was totally worth the wait!
