| Parody Song Title: | "The Great Re-Gifter" |
| Parody Written by: | McKludge |
I had to get this one out before Christmas. Listen along here SoundClick
Oh yes, I’m the great re-gifter
Re-gifting is where I excel
When I get crap, I re-box, re-wrap
A nice bow, and no one can tell
Oh yes, I’m a great re-gifter
A gift that I give seems brand new
Old socks - argyle - given with a smile
And all that I’ll hear is, “Thank you!”
The odd candle holders I got last year
I give to my boss and I act quite sincere
Oh yes, I’m a great re-gifter
Bestowing old junk on my friends
Some ugly jeans, and kitchen machines
And no one can tell in the end
Its money I don’t have to spend
Those sweaters I got from my grand-mama
They’re no good to me, I live in Florida
Yes, I’m a great re-gifter
Of who gave me what, I keep track
The list I keep, of who’s rich, who’s cheap
Ensures that I don’t give it back
If I do, then friends I will lack.

555 - but please don't put me on your gift list.
great concept....especially liked the crap / rewrap rhyme
Ahh Mr McLewd, it seems that you're not so clueless after all, Sir !
ho ho
Very good job, and does not lack credibility
This one was a little rushed so I could submit before Christmas. Not my best effort, but thanks to:
Timmah! - I think you're safe.
alvin - It was mine, too
Holly - Sadly, there are still some things I remain clueless about.
Ann - Is that my present this year? A couple of hos?
AFW - I'm credible? That's incredible!
Tyrone - I recall that episode, too, but I don't know if he was the first to use "re-gift"

Lord McKludge, your cluelessness is part of your charm, Sir ! . . . Do have a Merry Christmas, and hoping to see your parodies looking fine in 2 0 0 9.
Nah, you're looking at it the wrong way. It's "recycling", it's "green", and it's good for the environment.... I just happen to have a few Fives that you gave me from my post -- don't look too closely, 'cuz they're the same Fives I'm giving you. (psst -- pass 'em on.)
LCC - Have we met? :-)
TT - Yes, but it's not very Capitalist of me. Well, I did have to spend $2 on the wrapping paper.
