Very Funny, Dee...have you actually written lyrics, yet, or just the titles...
I think the cover and the titles are enough for now...but I'm sure when I can see again I'd love to hear the lyrics to Poke me in the Back!
POKE ME IN THE BACK
based on Folk is the New Black
by Janis Ian
In my ears there’s a buzz like a song
with a new set of words
It’s parody, and what it does
is turning everything absurd
I remember writing ”Hamster Land”
and the “Yellow Rudie Bus”
If you think that it’s against the law
you don’t have to sing along
Just poke me in the back
but don’t make it crack like a spine on a book
Pound me in the knees
but don’t hurt me please, and don’t use a hook
And if with my ribs you must connect
careful that you do not break my neck
Kindly don’t crack
Poke me in the back
There are Rudies here in Canada
and across the sea
You can tell which ones are new
‘cause with “Joy” they scream
I’ll be starting to rewrite that soon
even if they say I'm mad
Janis Ian’s are the songs to use
even if you think it’s bad
Just poke me in the back
but don’t make it crack like a spine on a book
Pound me in the knees
but don’t hurt me please, and don’t use a hook
All my friends think I have lost my balance
but to go insane takes a lot of talent
Keepin’ on track
Poke me in the back
Poke me in the back
but don’t make it crack like a spine on a book
Pound me in the knees
but don’t hurt me please, and don’t use a hook
If you think my parodies are wrong
you can always bang the big brass gong
Kindly don’t crack
Poke me in the back
I think the cover and the titles are enough for now...but I'm sure when I can see again I'd love to hear the lyrics to Poke me in the Back!
