The Lyrics
I'm aiming for 300 parodies of the OS and then submitting them to the Guinness Book. This is #230. I've just about exhausted rhymes and near-rhymes for "spell," so I'm going to have to start returning to words already used but with completely different contexts. My apologies for this quixotic quest as it manifests on the site.
How's that thing held up? Mousse
And combs with tines.
Without sufficient glop, it's loose
And comes flyin'
Off the head, flyin'.
You know, that thing's mammoth--
Mother of all mounds,
Called "Hirsute Maximus."
Do the math: it must weigh near five pounds!
How's that thing held up? Mousse
That brightly shines
And slimes.
If not mousse,
Maybe goose
Fat, or moose
Grease, love juice?
Anyhow,
It's way up there
Like Mount McKinley
Touching the clouds.
It's a peak.
How's that thing held up? Juice—
Some sticky kind.
And combs with tines.
Without sufficient glop, it's loose
And comes flyin'
Off the head, flyin'.
You know, that thing's mammoth--
Mother of all mounds,
Called "Hirsute Maximus."
Do the math: it must weigh near five pounds!
How's that thing held up? Mousse
That brightly shines
And slimes.
If not mousse,
Maybe goose
Fat, or moose
Grease, love juice?
Anyhow,
It's way up there
Like Mount McKinley
Touching the clouds.
It's a peak.
How's that thing held up? Juice—
Some sticky kind.
