"He's Such a Zealous Dude"
Parody Written by:
John A. Barry
The Lyrics
He's such a zealous dude--
On "8" scale, 9.
It seems his work is never through.
He's applyin'
Himself and tryin'
Each and every gambit.
You can't keep him down
So you have to hand him
Crown for "most industrious in town."
He's such a zealous dude
And never whines.
He shines.
He loves to
Take on two
Tasks. "So few?
I'd say, 'slew.' What a pow-
erhouse. It's fair
To avow that he'd
Milk every cow,
Cheerfully,
That's ever bellowed, moo'd."
That's lots of kine!

When it comes to Screamin` Jay, you are the Aaron `Spell`ing of parody land... (and when you`re that good, it means never having to say your... Torry)
There are 12-step programs for workaholics... try these Five steps first. (TJC, you meant "you're", right? Got a parody guide on that topic here: http://www.amiright.com/parody/60s/thebyrds27.shtml)
Your zeal for parodysmithing has paid off again... 5-5-5
