Song Parody Fragments:
"I Am Woman"
Better Lyrics:
I am woman, hear me roar
With eating habits of a boar
And I eat so much i feel no pain
Because I weigh more than before
In numbers too big to ignore
And I'll never ever see my feet again
Oh yes, I am wide
Cause my weight-gain's unexplained
Yes, I ate the pies
and look how much I gained
Cause I want to, Want to eat everything
I am fat (fat)
My weight's unbeatable (unbeatable)
I am woman
With eating habits of a boar
And I eat so much i feel no pain
Because I weigh more than before
In numbers too big to ignore
And I'll never ever see my feet again
Oh yes, I am wide
Cause my weight-gain's unexplained
Yes, I ate the pies
and look how much I gained
Cause I want to, Want to eat everything
I am fat (fat)
My weight's unbeatable (unbeatable)
I am woman
Original Lyrics:
I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an' pretend
'cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
No one's ever gonna keep me down again
Oh yes I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an' pretend
'cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
No one's ever gonna keep me down again
Oh yes I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman

Repetitive Song Lyrics:
"Delta Dawn"
The Repetitive Lyrics: Delta Dawn, what's that flower you have on?
Could it be a faded rose from days gone by? And did I here you say he was a-meetin' you here today To take you to his mansion in the sky? Why They're Repetitive: Helen sings this many times toward the end, Dwlta Dawn finally told her, 'None of your freakin' business!'

| "Leave Me Alone"

Nonsensical Song Lyrics:
"Angie Baby"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: And the music's so loud it spins him around
'Til his soul has lost its way And as she turns the volume down He's getting smaller with the sound It seems to pull him off the ground Toward the radio he's bound, never to be found The headlines read that a boy disappeared And everyone thinks he died 'Cept a crazy girl with a secret lover Who keeps her satisfied Why They're Nonsensical: Music can't spin anyone around by itself, although a person might make himself or herself spin around to the music. No person gets smaller as the loudness of music decreases. No person can disappear into a radio. And if the boy is "never to be found" after disappearing into the radio (assuming such a thing could happen!), then how could the girl still have him as a secret lover?
