The Lyrics

If I can write enough Alanis Morissette parodies, I think I will call them 'The Scary Little Be-atch Collection.' In writing this particular parody I discovered two things: 1) Taking a non-rhyming Alanis Morissette song and turning it into a rhyming one is daaaaaammmn hard, and 2) I have an obsession with making songs ryhme - NO MATTER WHAT - that borders on OCD. Hmmm...... wonder if that should worry me at all...?
You’re there and I’ve seen you
So I’m coming through
You’re dressed in Armani – yeah!
Resistance is futile
You’re lost in my killer smile
I’m after your money, baby!

And what it all comes down to
Is that I don’t know if you’re a good bet yet
So I’ve got one hand in your pocket
And I’m real impressed with your big… wallet

So can I be your escort?
My skirt is obscenely short
I’m in a bikini, yeah!
So give me the hard sell
Your job, does it pay you well?
I’ll have a martini, baby

And what we could get down to
Is dependant on how much you’re gonna spend
So I’ve got one hand in your pocket
Just to see if you brought your flexible friend!

*instrumental – for some hardcore flirting!*

And maybe I’ll put out too
So do you think you can accommodate my lifestyle?
‘Cause I’ve got one hand in your pocket
And the contents are really making me smile!

You don’t stare at my chest
You’re sweet and well-dressed
You love Liza* and Cher, baby
I’m not making headway
I’m guessing you’re prob’ly gay
And so you won’t go there, baby!

So what goes up comes down too
And it looks like you just dropped me from a great big height
‘Cause I’ve got one hand in your pocket
And it’s obvious I’m not getting it tonight

But this is your friend Andrew, oh boy! Yeah!
And he says that he’s very big in I.T
So I’ll put my hand in his pocket
And I’m hoping that he’ll be big enough for me!
*The Liza in question being Liza Minelli, who has a humungous gay fanbase. Just in case you thought I was being obtuse there (which I probably am, but hey...)

I'm putting my hand in my pocket and pulling out three 5s.

This song is funny! Next time I go karaoke, I want to practice the lyrics and sing it. I bet I'll get some big laughs.
