The Lyrics
Drug test ye winning athletes
Ensure they all compete
Upon a level playing field
So nobody can cheat
So ensure that you take the piss
From every ath-el-ete
Oh findings of nandrolone and speed
Hoping to see
No findings of steroids and E
In Greece at the Oly-impics
Such testing that was done
On each competing athlete
Yes, every single one
They didn't care what sport it was
Or if you lost or won
Oh findings of nandrolone and speed
Hoping to see
No findings of steroids and E
The levels of testosterone
Were quite a sight to see
Instead of parts per million
T'was more like one in three
This athlete had a nice moustache
And bushy beard, did she
Oh findings of nandrolone and speed
Hoping to see
No findings of steroids and E
There were two Greeky athletes
Thought to be Greece's best
Their crime was oh, so heinous, yes!
They went and missed their test!
Then they fell of their motorbike
An accident? We guessed...
Oh findings of nandrolone and speed
Hoping to see
No findings of steroids and E
The testing gets more complicated
Every single year
Like checks for masking agents
New drugs as they appear
So let's hope no false positives
Have ruined a career
Oh findings of nandrolone and speed
Hoping to see
No findings of steroids and E
Ensure they all compete
Upon a level playing field
So nobody can cheat
So ensure that you take the piss
From every ath-el-ete
Oh findings of nandrolone and speed
Hoping to see
No findings of steroids and E
In Greece at the Oly-impics
Such testing that was done
On each competing athlete
Yes, every single one
They didn't care what sport it was
Or if you lost or won
Oh findings of nandrolone and speed
Hoping to see
No findings of steroids and E
The levels of testosterone
Were quite a sight to see
Instead of parts per million
T'was more like one in three
This athlete had a nice moustache
And bushy beard, did she
Oh findings of nandrolone and speed
Hoping to see
No findings of steroids and E

So let's hope no false positives
Have ruined a career
Oh findings of nandrolone and speed
Hoping to see
No findings of steroids and E

Very good. Time to start firing up those carols parodies.
Christmas time is here, by golly
Yuletide parodies - so jolly
If you feel a prick - it's holly
Let's spoof a Christmas song, or ten...
Thanks, John :-)

I know the original song this time; nice parody, Phil
Well done, Phil. I assume that athlete in the first line is 3 syllables as in the sixth line. The testerone verse was my fave.
nice job on this one...5s
The athletes say they're clean. Their words are their BONDS, right?
Though Christmas-hating cynics say Your choice of song is dumb (They'd sneer "Look at the calendar-- December hasn't come!"), I'm hardly Scrooge's kindred soul, So three fives is the sum Of the votes you have earned for this song (earned for this song)-- Yes, you've earned three fives from me...for this song!
Thanks all :-)
JJ - It's kind of a 2˝-syllable compared to the full 3 in line 6 ;-)
Ingeborg - lovely, thanks: and a tip:- you can get a line break by putting br in angle brackets, which makes it more obvious to people as slow as me on the uptake that you've written another verse :-)

I knew about that HTML tag, but the comment-entry form says that boldface was the only one the site recognized. Maybe the webmaster should mention line breaks too?
P.S. Glad you liked my musical comment!

I have a feeling that italics work, too - but links and images definitely don't. Shame in a way, but you could guarantee it being abused...
...looks like the italics tag doesn't work, after all
Hah! Love the beard and moustache bit. Great one. For reading purposes, I could've used a few more typesetting cues to help me with the pacing (e.g. "No-o finding of Ste-e-roids and E"). You did it some places and not others, though I figured it out pretty quickly anyway. As if you want to hear this about a three year old parody anyway...
Thanks, Leo - and I always like the occasional comment turning up on an old parody :-)
