The Lyrics
I’ll put a “shall” on you
when it is time
for an imperative to do.
Don’t be tryin’
“I will,” I ain’t lyin’!
You know I can’t stand it
when you start to sound
off with a command that
has a “will” when a “shall” should be found.
Therefore, a “shall” for you;
“will” isn’t fine.
Have a clue:
you must hew
to what you
need to do
when your mouth’s
ready to blare
imperatively,
beseeching
someone; use “shall” and chew
out, double time!
when it is time

5s for all three IPASOY parodies! I am very sick today so it's taking all day to go through all these songs...
"I shall" just sounds so Victorian... :)
