The Lyrics
I wanted to try something that hadn't been done yet. The last time I tried that with my girlfriend, she slapped me. I'm sure there will be verbal beatings in the "Comments" section.
Prom Assistants
Prom assistants already on the scene
When I came that special night
Non-existent, the hope to be obscene
Like an eagle, they had sight
Prom assistants causing alarm in me
As they focused on my hands
There's no hope to grope. Forget get a piece
They're a curse on every man
Prom assistants kept saying, "That's enough!"
They are an evil breed
And there was no rum, no bongs, "No dirty dancing please!"
None of the things we need
Prom assistants, the human excrement
Searched the members of the band
Seeking booze and dope. Any found were seized
They're a curse on every man
They are watching us, they are watching us
God, they're watching us..prom assistants
Prom assistants. It looks like the end
Of any thrill we'd had in store
Non-existent, the chance at my prom friend
No foreplay on the floor
Prom assistants causing alarm in me
As they focused on my hands
There's no hope to grope. Forget get a piece
They're a curse on every man
There's no hope to grope. Forget get a piece
They're a curse on every man
They are watching us, they are watching us
God, they're watching us, prom assistants
Oh, God they're watching us, they are watching
They are watching us..
Prom assistants
Prom assistants already on the scene
When I came that special night
Non-existent, the hope to be obscene
Like an eagle, they had sight
Prom assistants causing alarm in me
As they focused on my hands
There's no hope to grope. Forget get a piece
They're a curse on every man
Prom assistants kept saying, "That's enough!"
They are an evil breed
And there was no rum, no bongs, "No dirty dancing please!"
None of the things we need
Prom assistants, the human excrement
Searched the members of the band
Seeking booze and dope. Any found were seized
They're a curse on every man
They are watching us, they are watching us
God, they're watching us..prom assistants
Prom assistants. It looks like the end
Of any thrill we'd had in store
Non-existent, the chance at my prom friend
No foreplay on the floor
Prom assistants causing alarm in me
As they focused on my hands
There's no hope to grope. Forget get a piece
They're a curse on every man
There's no hope to grope. Forget get a piece
They're a curse on every man
They are watching us, they are watching us
God, they're watching us, prom assistants
Oh, God they're watching us, they are watching
They are watching us..

LOL, Rick! My favorite line was "No Dirty Dancing, please!" Excellent work!!!
The title alone was pure, unadulterated genius...and the parody followed through. Great job, Rick! 555
Brilliant, Rick! Now tell her to get her hands off your hard drive.
Very nicely done. Very funny, and excellent job rhyming with the OS.
What Kristof said.
555 This is a very new idea here, and those are hard to come by. Now I need to talk to you about your name.............
Thanks for stopping by Arwen, Kristof, Johnny, Leo, John and Rick D. Thanks for the laughs I get at reading all of your works!
very clever Rick - keep em coming - 555
Thank you to you too, Stuart.
(ABC) Close, but not touching.:)
IDKTOS, sorry.. I tend to just know songs that are pretty obscure. I thought it was funny though.
(ABC) You always have excellent pacing.
(P) I'm not sure I get this one Rick, good rhyming though.
(ABC05) see above - loved the title sub "Prom Assistants" - they are the scourge of every teenage boy
(ABC) Brilliant title, and it just got brighter and brighter from then on!
(ABC) Still cacking over the title, and loving the piece.
(ABC) Hilarious title and concept, well rhymed. I only know the chorus line, but assume pacing was nailed throughout.
(ABC) ...and after comparing with the original lyrics, your rhyming was brilliantly paced, as expected.
Excellent, Rick. Cheez, what a bunch of killjoys :-)
ABC--still made me smile, Rick...=)
ABC: Ah yes, a wonderful trip back in time to an era when people went out of their way to make sure I didn't hook up (if the school administration's not getting any, why should the students?)
