The Lyrics
amiright posts our daily song submissions in reverse order. I've already posted two topical and controversial songs, but I hope you'll read this last. It's a parody of a children's song from my (actually my father's) youth. ;D
The fellow who plays trombone
Will take your telephone.
He'll use it too.
He'll call Peru
And charge it all to you.
The fellow who plays trombone
Will eat your ice cream cone.
He'll take two licks.
His dirty tricks
Will leave you in a fix.
The fellow who plays trombone
Will leave you there alone.
He'll run away
On any day
When it is time to pay.
The fellow who plays trombone
Will move into your zone.
The folks will pout
And then move out.
They know what he's about.
The fellow who plays trombone -
Don't leave him home alone.
He'll feed your frogs
To your pet dogs
And then chase them with logs.
The fellow who plays trombone -
His head is made of stone.
He'll light a smoke
And write this joke.
His soul is full of hoke!
I resemble this remark! I guess I'm finally a true "boogie man"! ;D

Yeah, DKTOS, but cool parody! Creative and original and really funny
Hope I'm not alone with this gut that plays trombone!!
Great job. OMR!!!
The time signature of this trombone tune is 5/5/5.
Clever little ditty.
The only guy I can think of who played a trombone is Glenn Miller.
You left out the whole bridge section. I hope you resubmit with that in it
Alright who is going to fix the Merry-Go-Round while wearing a bright blue horse costume?
Merry Go Round Merry Go Fast, Mary Fell off and Broke her A**
