The Lyrics
Carole Lombard stars as the sprinting queen of her college but she’d rather be chasing boys than medals. It’s up to her indefatigable coach to make sure she wins first place. (WordPress)
Sing, (Start in to sing, you’ll have to swing,)
Then, you’ll swing, (Start in to sing, you’ll have to swing,)
That Carole is bound to get you,
Oh, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
Don’t go slow, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
That Carole is bound to get you,
Running, running, running, running, running…mmm...
(Shirley Lloyd—vocal)
Run, Girl, Run!
Start in to run, then soon, you’ll be running,
Run, Girl, Run!
Turn on the heat, your feet will keep beating,
One, two, three,
On your mark? Get set? Go! (dee-de-oh!)
You’ll agree,
George & Germaine watched Carole run on her feet,
Run, Girl, Run!
Once you begin, you have to start cheering,
Run, Girl, Run!
Get on your toes, ‘cause everyone knows that
If you’re not a dunce,
Oh, you’ll catch on at once,
Well, Germaine, your cue’s here; see,
Tell her, “Run, Girl, Run”!
(The Three Kays—vocal trio)
Run, Girl, Run!
Start in to run, then soon, you’ll be running,
Run, Girl, Run!
Turn on the heat, your feet will keep beating,
One, two, three,
On your mark? Get set? Go! (doo-doo-do-doo!)
You’ll agree,
George & Germaine watched Carole run on her feet,
Run, Girl, Run!
Once you begin, you have to start cheering,
Run, Girl, Run!
Get on your toes, ‘cause everyone knows that

You’ll catch on at once,
Germaine, your cue’s here; see,
Tell her, “Run, Girl, Run”, whoa!
Run, Girl, Run!

Simple as the day is long!
Then, you’ll swing, (Start in to sing, you’ll have to swing,)
That Carole is bound to get you,
Oh, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
Don’t go slow, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)

Your life has been a complete waste since you convinced yourself you were good at writing parodies. I doubt that took much effort, but then again neither does anything you post here.
After 19 months and 185 entries, this is my final goodbye to AmIRight. Thanks to everyone who’s wrote in over the past several weeks to say they’ll miss me, and those who would much rather see me leave. Regardless of your views, you’ve all been great critics of my entries. This chapter of my life has finally come to a close. I love you all and you shall always remain in my memory. Let the cartwheels begin!
And that’s something to celebrate? That your entries were more important, than any other users, in the entire history of this site? I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone saying they’ll miss you though.
THIS IS OUR NEW AL YANKOVICH!!!!!!!!!!!!
