I actually finished this on Halloween day ......l was going to sing it that night at a karaoke bar but decided maybe I should practice it first...Good thing, because I went as Boris Karloff,white lab coat, the whole shtick and sang the Monster Mash.......I took first place for costume but it was probably the combination of both that did it.......Save Damn Phone Song for another day-o

Damn ! I did it again.....I've got to stop writing these at 3 in the morning...Oh well...I'll repost. I missed 2 lines between - eyes no roam - and say! words to say......They go something like this - MAY-GO......STAY-AY-AY-NO !......(take right thumb, hitch ride parts unknown)......unless I come up something better (but I doubt it) '

This is funny, many clever lines..especially liked the last line..so many capital letters made it a bit difficult to read..at least for me

Thanks AFW. I decided to do an emergency parodycle retraction and an apologetic transplant....Unfotunately - I could'nt get the capital letters out....Still, I'm hoping it has long life and prospers

Brilliant! Love it. Hardly noticed declared glitches. I could just see old-school Harry out on the street remonstrating, cellphone in hand - hilarious. 5-vote bunch.
