Parody Written by:

The Lyrics

Wee (Scottish) = small

I don’t do what it is that makes the knowledge grow
I only do a lesson when I’m made to go
My head is a numb thing; my brain is wee
Forever, I will bet, just like a garden pea
The brain cells are too few
I only have a low IQ

The dopey teacher is a ho, an’ has no clue
I give her lots of torment; it’s the way, when new
Her first day was Monday; she said, “Don’t diss”
I put a pale of piddle just above our miss
She’s crazy when wet through
I’m moanin’ now the cane is due

She snapped, and snarled at me; I asked if she’d cease the rants
She then said of my mental skills, “More nous in a bunch o’ plants”
It wasn’t funny

She was givin’ me an evil icy stare
She said, “You think I’m worried, sonny, I don’t scare”
No sense: I’m a dumb thing; won’t leave her be
I’ll never be her pet: she’s kinda sick of me
The teacher took her shoe
An’ battered me ‘til black an’ blue

Oh
I wept as she railed at me; I thought that I’d mess my pants
She’s got hair on her underarms, so I’m guessin’ she’s from France
They like ‘em hairy

I just went an’ sawed a leg off ev’ry chair
Although she said it’s never funny, I don’t care
Then she stated something: a test for me
She never gave the mark that I had hoped to see
“Do better or you’re through”
“I only give a D to you”
She said, “Do better, do better or you’re through”
“A job at Mickey D for you”

I'd say you've got a 5, but I wouldn't want people to think your IQ was THAT low!

Andy - I cued right in on this one. It's the great title switch that got me to open this one. What can I say except, you can't fix stupid. Great write. High fives for low IQ.

As the old vaudeville joke goes..the girl says, "High IQ" and the guy answers, "High IQ, too"...cleverly executed parody, here

Well written, Andy! Sounds like my teacher in high school and my professor in college! Yeah, there are some teachers I hated in school and I would get in trouble sometimes. Anyways, you just brought your IQ score to 555!

Where on Earth did you ever get the idea to do this silly OS? :) :) :)

Wow, WarrenB did one a few weeks back, and now a new member of the Dusty Club. A whole new niche and genre -- the Springfield Rifles, shooting at the target. (Contest, anyone? I'll abstain, having so many entries, alone and with FG.)

Excellent throughout. Loved the allit, esp. "put a pale of piddle" (though did you mean "pail", or is that more en-BR?), the hairy-French line (what's up with them, anyway?), and the killer ending, as all the best parodies should have.

You had the turtle ROFLMAO
However, there is one thing that you ought to know:
You speak of low IQ, and what a fix
But brilliance of your parody, self-contradicts
It's true, I swear, no jive:
I only want to give you Five

Thanks Michael P - It's not quite that low, maybe 55.5

Thanks Guy - glad you liked

Thanks AFW - funny gag

Thanks Christie - hope you didn't act up like the pupil in my parody

Thanks TT - guessed you'd be able to follow this one from memory. I'm not getting many new ideas for my record collection at the moment. You should see a few 50's/60's pop ones coming from me over the next few weeks.
Pale/pail: dammit, dammit, & dammit again. I proof read this one twice over and missed it both times. I still can't believe how often that happens (with all/most of us)

Thanks 2Eagle - last I heard, they were hanging around in nunneries

Thanks Mark - it's 308,025. Are you the kid from my parody, impersonating Mark?
