The Lyrics

Hard to believe this hasn't been done already, but I did have a bit of a look....
And now, the end is here;
I cut it fine, that's how I reckoned
The way to win is clear:
I placed my bid in the last second

I'm now proud owner of
A fur-lined cover for my bidet
There's more, much more than this
I've bought on eBay

I know, I should desist
But I can't help buying these trinkets
Oh, no, could not resist
Those self-pier-cing, nipple-ring kits

A life-size Shire horse
A 1920's Tetley tea-tray
More offcuts from a briss
I bought on eBay

Yes, there were things I bought for you
That postcard set from Timbuctoo
The lovely stuffed and mounted trout
You simply shrieked and threw it out
But can't you tell that you could sell
Sell it on eBay

I bought a motorbike
With kit for you to ride on pillion
I've bought whate'er I like
My feedback count has topped a million

And when the 'net is down
You'll hear words like eff you see kay...
I'm hooked, it's like a drug:
I need my eBay

For when it's down, I'm up a gum tree
PayPal must think I'm a small country
But what I bought were truly steals
Those gel-ly pens, those jellied eels
If it's got wheels, or fur or heels
Bought it on eeeeeee-Baaaay

Stuart McArthur - March 30, 2006 - Report this comment
yes, I thought it had been done too, Phil (Weird Al? maybe?) - doesn't matter, this was great, esp. "PayPal must think I'm a small country" - 555

A parody Weird Al would be proud of... 5-5-5
Phil Alexander - March 31, 2006 - Report this comment
Thanks everyone :-)
Stuart - Weird Al did some boy-band parody about eBay, IIRC - I intentionally didn't go looking for that one as I didn't want to end up being affected by what he wrote.

"PayPal must think I'm a small country" was on of many great lines in here. Bidding starts at $5.55.

Reminds me of their old commercial that went to this tune. You're crooning fives!
Phil Alexander - March 31, 2006 - Report this comment
Larry - eBay used this tune for a commercial? That explains why I was so sure it had been done (but it didn't turn up when I was searching for eBay "my way" parody..). I'll bet they didn't use the same lyrics, though ;-)
Rick C - March 31, 2006 - Report this comment
Yes, Phil, Ebay did use this OS in a commercial but, I recall thinking, when I first saw the ad, that I could have written better lyrics for it. Mine wouldn't have been this good though. Excellent work. 555

Maybe I should change career and write advertising jingles... :-)

That's so terribly funny! I myself use eBay, too...
Phil Alexander - May 12, 2006 - Report this comment
Thanks Ana, and don't we all?

(to Larry Hensley) That reminds me of that (eBay's "Do It") commercial series, too. That really deserves a 555!!!
