Song Parodies -> "Hestia, Did You Fart?"
Original Song Title:
"Hestia of the Hearth"
Original Performer:
R. Barrett
Parody Song Title:
"Hestia, Did You Fart?"
Parody Written by:
Aisling
The Lyrics
If the parody makes no sense, it's because the song is obscure (and really quite beautiful). The last verse of the original begins with: "It's said we change like Nature..To keep the spirit free;" hence, the absurd tire-changing line.
She tends the fire on the gas stove
As she cooks my bagels and lox
A smell is drifting downwind
Like the odor of dirty socks
I journeyed far to be safe from the smell
And shake myself from a vomiting spell
Hestia of the hearth
Hestia, did you fart?
The fridge door is open
Through the whiteness I can see mold
I turn to escape the squalid air
Too bad I don't have a cold
I think that I shall dry heave
As I open the window to make the smell leave
Hestia of the hearth,
Hestia, did you fart?
The center of earth has the earthworms
That feed on our compost pile
The cats have peed on the fireplace hearth
Think I'll go outside for a while
I woke in her arms in disgust to complain
"My God, you ate garlic again!"
Hestia of the hearth
Hestia, did you fart?
It's said we change a tire
When you hit a nail and it goes flat
And if you eat too many bagels and lox
You will soon be morbidly fat.
I blessed the day they invented Febreeze
I use it each time she cuts the cheese
Hestia of the hearth
Hestia, did you fart?
As she cooks my bagels and lox
A smell is drifting downwind
Like the odor of dirty socks
I journeyed far to be safe from the smell
And shake myself from a vomiting spell
Hestia of the hearth
Hestia, did you fart?
The fridge door is open
Through the whiteness I can see mold
I turn to escape the squalid air
Too bad I don't have a cold
I think that I shall dry heave
As I open the window to make the smell leave
Hestia of the hearth,
Hestia, did you fart?
The center of earth has the earthworms
That feed on our compost pile
The cats have peed on the fireplace hearth
Think I'll go outside for a while
I woke in her arms in disgust to complain
"My God, you ate garlic again!"
Hestia of the hearth
Hestia, did you fart?
It's said we change a tire
When you hit a nail and it goes flat
And if you eat too many bagels and lox
You will soon be morbidly fat.
I blessed the day they invented Febreeze
I use it each time she cuts the cheese
Hestia of the hearth
Hestia, did you fart?
