The Lyrics
Carole Lombard stars as the sprinting queen of her college but she’d rather be chasing boys than medals. It’s up to her indefatigable coach to make sure she wins first place.
Sing, (Start in to sing, you’ll have to swing,)
Then, you’ll swing, (Start in to sing, you’ll have to swing,)
That Carole is bound to get you,
Oh, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
Don’t go slow, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
That Carole is bound to get you,
Running, running, running, running, running…mmm...
(Shirley Lloyd—vocal)
Run, Girl, Run!
Start in to run, then soon, you’ll be running,
Run, Girl, Run!
Turn on the heat, your feet will keep beating,
One, two, three,
On your mark? Get set? Go! (dee-de-oh!)
You’ll agree,
George & Germaine watched Carole run on her feet,
Run, Girl, Run!
Once you begin, you have to start cheering,
Run, Girl, Run!
Get on your toes, ‘cause everyone knows that
If you’re not a dunce,
Oh, you’ll catch on at once,
Well, Germaine, your cue’s here; see,
Tell her, “Run, Girl, Run”!
(The Three Kays—vocal trio)
Run, Girl, Run!
Start in to run, then soon, you’ll be running,
Run, Girl, Run!
Turn on the heat, your feet will keep beating,
One, two, three,
On your mark? Get set? Go! (doo-doo-do-doo!)
You’ll agree,
George & Germaine watched Carole run on her feet,
Run, Girl, Run!
Once you begin, you have to start cheering,
Run, Girl, Run!
Get on your toes, ‘cause everyone knows that
If you’re not a dunce,
You’ll catch on at once,
Germaine, your cue’s here; see,
Tell her, “Run, Girl, Run”, whoa!
Run, Girl, Run!
(instrumental call-back)
Run, Girl, Run!

One, two, three,
On your mark? Get set? Go! (doo-doo-do-doo!)
You’ll agree,

Simple as the day is long!
Then, you’ll swing, (Start in to sing, you’ll have to swing,)
That Carole is bound to get you,
Oh, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
Don’t go slow, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)

Hey GeorgeAndGermaineBriantFaggot, I thought you were supposed to be off in some treatment center waiting for your brain disease to finish you off. Question: since what you had for brains was never readily apparent on this board, can we assume you'll never notice any changes as your condition worsens?
Shows what you know. I wanted to put this here while I still can because it makes your worthless comment even more pathetic. Did you even bother to look into the subject matter of this entry? You might as take a look at Carole Lombard’s promotional photos taken about this time. Hot stuff!
Re: Carole’s pictures “about this time”: 1927-29. Be prepared to use tissues. Willing to look into that, Phil Ossifer?
Typical brainless response. You obviously posted it before I commented. From reading responses since you joined, it's virtually undeniable that nobody on here besides you cares about geezer celebs (or music) from +/- a century ago. If this kind of crap matters that much to you, why not own it instead of posting it under other people's names? I'm guessing it's your inability to admit the world has moved on, and you can't... but you will soon : ) . Speaking of that, will you be doing a countdown to your demise? I know you mentioned having someone put a notification on the bulletin board, but nobody reads that, and I'll want plenty of time to buy party stuff etc. As regards that, please accept my sincere thanks for doing your part to cleanse the gene pool! Lastly, since I'll be here and you won't, I figure this might be the best time to ask where you'd recommend buying pool cleaning supplies? IIRC you have considerable expertise in the matter.
Phil, if you don’t like my parodies don’t read them. In the meantime, try writing commentaries that don’t suck. I have no doubt the vast majority of people here skip almost everything you write ‘cause it’s pretty much all the same. Besides, anyone who reads my entries knows better than to expect me using a different song, let alone subject matter. Hope to see your reaction for tomorrow’s “worthless” entry.
Try something novel: post your insipid entries under your own name, coward.
Oh joy to the world! You got me again. What a hilarious line: “try something novel”. You’ve learned nothing from reading my multiple entries over the past year, and it’s obvious why you’re so quick to dismiss this song I use so often. Phil, have you actually HEARD the OS that is being parodied? If you actually took the time to listen to it, you would realize why I find this song so “endlessly entertaining”. I don’t think you’ve ever given me a valid reason as to why you A) continually bash this song as “garbage”, and B) insist on doing so at the disrespect of the original artist. Do you honestly think Herbie Kay isn’t noticing the rude behavior you’re spewing out against his song? If you hate his recording so much, then $&!7 into a paper bag and drop it on Herbie’s grave. Karma will strike you back either way. And if you don’t like the song, then go back to your Top-40 garbage.
