The Lyrics

So...I got this homework assignment from Matthias...to write a song about relationships. At first I thought it would be easy...(I've written a few of those in my time)...but as it turns out...it's killing me. I'm out of original ideas, Matty...

So...with that in mind...here's a warning to all the men I'll be dating in the future...; )
I’ll meet you
A week or two from now
And I need to
Explain some things somehow
My dates end…up in song
Think you’re unique? I’m sure you’re wrong!

Woo-hoo-hoo
It's all been done
Woo-hoo-hoo
It's all been done
Woo-hoo-hoo
It's all been DONE before

I’ll thank you
To keep your trousers up*
And there’s just no way
I’ll wear a rubber cup**
And if you should…stand too close
I’ll prob-LY break your nose***

Woo-hoo-hoo
It's all been done
Woo-hoo-hoo
It's all been done
Woo-hoo-hoo
It's all been DONE before

And if you try to grab my rear****
Or simply choose to disappear*****
And if you work for Tech Support******
I’ll only yawn and say…

Woo-hoo-hoo
It's all been done
Woo-hoo-hoo
It's all been done
Woo-hoo-hoo
It's all been DONE before

(instrumental)

Now that you know
All the ways that you can’t get it right
Still want to try
T’be my Armored Knight?
I would smile
I would sing
If you got me a ring!*******

Woo-hoo-hoo
‘Cause that’s been done
Woo-hoo-hoo
By only one
Woo-hoo-hoo
With him I’m DONE for sure

Woo-hoo-hoo
I’ll find someone
Woo-hoo-hoo
Or be a nun
Woo-hoo-hoo
Before I’m DONE…

WOO!
All that’s been done
Woo-hoo-hoo
Has sure been fun
Woo-hoo-hoo
I’ll always GUN for more

You could always date a sword swallowing midget from Antarctica with a PHD in Astrophysics that in his spare like enjoys shaving house pets... Because I think that might be original, but until you find that future husband I'm glad you don't have to worry about anything new and you've played all of the bases, but does that really mean that the epic dating sagas from Arwen have finished?! That can't be! What are we going to do with ourselves?

Shameless Points!!!!!!!!!! I enjoyed this anyway, but still.
Arwen - December 14, 2008 - Report this comment
Matty...don't be silly...I don't even plan on entering this in the contest...(except in the case of emergency)...so you know there is at least ONE more epic dating saga yet to come. Sometime this week. Cross your fingers.

2nz...(I reserve the right to call you 2nz now and forever)...I have never claimed to be above being shameless. Shameless is kind of my thing. ; ) Actually...I had hit a wall in what I'm still hoping to enter in the Ages...and I was thinking..."maybe I should explore different avenues..." At which point I realized...those avenues have all been forged. By me. Then this thing just wrote itself. I couldn't NOT post it. I mean...with how unprolific I've been as of late...if I write a parody...it's getting posted...shameless or not. =)

Thanks boys...

nice to see your name grace the pages of amiright again...live the ambivalent last line
alvin - December 14, 2008 - Report this comment
oops...meant to say "LOVE the last line"...freudian slip ?...lol
Arwen - December 14, 2008 - Report this comment
Jeff...thanks. But, I think I said it wasn't THAT great...so I don't know how to take the fact that you agree with me...; )

Alvin...my poor name has been DYING to grace the pages of amiright constantly. My poor brain has not been smart enough to get anything written, though. =) Thanks.

Alvin...again...LOL! I didn't even notice...

Long time no see! I gotta say, I enjoyed this one more than the O.S; this was great. And I especially enjoyed the ending too. 5-5-5

Ferragamo...hey, it's true...I've been on hiatus. If that's how it's spelled. I've been on vacation. =) Thanks, though...glad you enjoyed this!
