Parody Song Title:

"Very Crushed Express"

Parody Written by:

Merry & Pippin

Shook from bed, uncurled
As the sun, it did arise
Time to catch the train
That’s if the thing arrives...
Luck, it did, yet I’m appalled
Is it packed? You bet - wall to wall
It’s where my crusade for seat is overdue

Squeak myself between a lap and Nun’s behind
Gad! What’s touching me, of status undefined?
Hope that there’s clear line ahead
IPods squawk from numbnuts’ heads
Listen, bass keeps wafting (but no tune)

'Nother day spent riding on the very crushed express
No, there ain’t no hiding on the very crushed express
They’ve packed me in without finesse
All abhor the train
Air-con’s broke again

Guy’s been raving, he’s smells funny, then his bum, he bares
I’d tell the guard, but doubt he cares…

Say the train, it has been cancelled once again
Smarmy bloke announces “Next one’s can’t say whe-whe-whe-whe-when...”
Gone are days of feet on chairs
‘Cos there’s never none to spare
Crap knows when you’re gonna see me home
(Hell, yes, I’m bleating now)
And the ticket checkers must have worked for the S.S.
Must be in their job role for to show no pleasantness
They're wankers - tot’ly self-obsessed
Yes, I’m sure deriding of the very crushed express
Feel my life’s subsiding on the very crushed express
Another dose of daily stress
All abhor the train
All abhor the train
All abhor...

Instant Karma! I came up with this idea the other day, Merry and I worked on it, she submitted it today and BAM! I went to go home tonight and *all* of the trains are running late because of signal failures. I have offended the Fat Controller...

Priceless - Ticket counters working for the S.S. with their pleasantness. HA! Loved every word of this one - perfect pace, timing, rhyming, wit and woo! (Get it woo - train, heh heh) And so Pip this lancing of the transing system caused the Nazi workers party to late your butt for home - yeah - special. HA HA! I have taken note that we both used the word, abhor, in our parodies today. Lets make that the word of the day. Wonderful write - set my mood for the day.

I thought this was gonna be about a bad experience with Fed-Ex, and how they crushed your package. Sound like the #555 train in NYC.

outstanding...this is as crowded with great lines as the train was with people...haven't rode a lot of trains (except disneyland ) but believe me, buses are as bad if not worse...nice of you to mention guy in the song..(OH...that was just an anonymous guy ?...oh ok...i see)

Thanks for the comments :)

alvin - I always thank my lucky stars that I do not have to rely on buses. As for Guy, yes, I did wonder if anyone would pick up on that. It fot the rhyme perfectly. I could have put Jai, but why would the little kid from Tarzan have been on my train? :)

Guy- "Abhor" is one of my fave words. So descriptive. Word of the day it is!

After all that, I did not clarify! No, it wasn't about Guy per se, but if it fits... ;-p After all, who knows *what* he gets up to when using public transport!
