"I Only Have Eyes For Ewe"
Parody Written by:
Tommy Turtle
The Lyrics
OS written in 1934, covered much, but The Flamingos' 1959 hit was voted #157 in Rolling Stone Magazine's "500 Greatest Songs of All Time" ... Nice video of the original 45rpm on a high-quality component system here.
(shoo-bop-she-bops throughout, with the occasional "baa")
My love must be a fine ovine love
I don't see any Hon who'll do
Are the bars full tonight?
I don't care if the prospects are bright
I only have eyes for ewe, deer
Her "moon" may be hot
But I say to myself (shrug), "So what?"
'Cause I only have rise for ewe
They don't blow if near, I am fartin'
More blissom-shrouded survenue [1]
Ewes are near
So go: lamb, I
Wistful worlds' worth of women, woe: "Why...?"
I've no wish for a witch-...-y shrew
And my only salve: thighs of ewe
[1] Both "blissom" and "survenue" are well worth looking up at, say, dictionary.com, esp. the second meaning of the first one. The def. of the second one has an unintended double-entendre that's hilarious in this context. Waay too cool to give away here. ;)

(Fumbling around for a new sheep pun and coming up empty) This is right on the mutton! Thanks again, TT! ;D
Baaaaaaack to your baaaaaadness.
I see ewe'r make no sheepish attempt at writing GREAT parodies. Classic!
I'm still working out the ramifications of this parody. Goooooood job!
The eyes have it...and so do your sheep songs...the mental photo of a turtle and a lamb together, is too much
SenorTaTa . . . oh where is sirMalcolm, when we need him, eh ?
Old Man Ribber: Never empty! ... thanks for v/c.
Mark Scotti: If one can call this particular genre "classic", LOL. Thanks, Mark!
MasonR: Long time, no see! LOL, but would that be "ramifornications?" :) Thanks for v/c!
AFW: It *does* kind of boggle the mind, doesn't it? (assuming the turtle has a mind) Thanks for v/c.
UnKnownVotress: I DK; you'd have to ask him. Am I my brother's sheeper? (heh heh heh) Thanks for stopping by!

Ewe write the most ewe-phoric parody, Turtle! Bleating ya 5's!
Q:What's African country do ovines love to visit?
A: Ewe-ganda.
Forgive the bad joke, but it's worth a try at least.

Christie Marie M, thou art far too modest, m'Lady! *Loved* "ewephoric", and ROFL @ the joke! Ever thought of going into comedy? Ewe should give it a try -- ewe'd be a sure hit in Ewerope! Thank ewe for v/c/j (-oke)!
Just came upon this one today! (damn, thought I was all-knowing... hell!) Butt, just too, tewe funny... must import this ditty to my netherworlds STAT! And your vocab? Where *do* you find 'em... ewephonious ewepemisms e're abound, cavort n' caper across your ovine ouerve!
Lewecifer's Lust: As General William Tocomesir Sureman said, "Wh*re is hell, but sheep are ovine - er, divine!" ... or something like that. ... lol @ "hell" in context!
As for vocab, etc., I'm afraid that's (im-)proprietary knowledge, ever to remain TT's arcane secret -- can't *give* it away (as the above-mentioned Hell-enic hores say). Thank ewe for v/c!

Ann Hammond: Not sure if that's better or worse than "heh heh", but thanks for reading and commenting. :)
