The Lyrics

Gorgons, gorgons,
A gross snake ’do.
Those chignons are long. . .
Got gorgons on my mind.

I say gorgons, gorgons,
They will wrong you.
These she’s you should fear;
They’re loony and unkind.

Viper farms reach out to me;
They will bite voraciously.
I don’t want them near, you see—
I’d bloat after they’d chew

I said, gorgons, ooh, gorgons,
On me they’d dine.
Those big fangs are long,
And gorgons are unkind.

Viper farms reach out to me
And vituperatively
They will act, venomously.
One crone is named Medu-

sa; say, gorgons,
As they unwind,
Thrust, their reach is long—
Keep gorgons from my spine!

I say, I’ll beseech this throng
On gorgons tops to mind.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! You have beaten out Malcolm Higgins as the new No.1 parodist on AmIRight's author list! And this parody was awesome, BTW. 555, and I'm looking forward to more of your spoofs, King Of AmIRight.

Great job, John, and how does it feel to be the #1 parodist again? BTW, I have been called a Gorgon because of my long curly hair and often-irritable attitude. 5s for you.

Great song...but don't look directly at the words or you will be turned to stone! ;D

Thanks, Blaze, Andria (it happened once before, briefly, but I'm sure MH is burning the midnight oil as I write), OMR.
