| Parody Song Title: | "My Wife/No Respect" |
| Parody Written by: | Leo Jay |
Tribute to comic legends Henny Youngman & Rodney Dangerfield...
[Henny]
My wife, my wife... please take her!
She fakes it when naked, my wife --
She says her sex life is only great
when I'm out working late!
What a tramp is...
my wife!
My life's a torture!
[Rodney]
You oughta divorce her, your wife!
[Henny]
But Rodney, if I pursue divorce,
then my comedic source
would be dried up for life!
She is a bitch, true --
a broom-bearing witch, too,
but she makes me rich through
sourcing all my jokes...
Divorce, I've thwarted --
my position towards it's
that I can't afford it --
that's for poorer folks...
Success makes stress well worth it --
my schtick makes me thick with success!
And so her shrewing I will endure...
[Rodney]
Better than being poor!
[Henny]
Won't you please take...
[Rodney]
...your checks?
Respect, can't get it --
I'm due, but accrue, no respect!
Right from the womb, I got my first sign:
Mom said, "Doc, he's not mine!"
Geez, I get no respect!
Respect's not offered --
There ought to be laws for respect...
[Henny]
But surely, your wife's not awful too...?
[Rodney]
She said she'd rather screw
dead guy Gregory Peck!
How unexpected:
Being disrespected
means I've now collected
millions more in fees;
Kids call me "doofus",
People like to "boo-hiss",
but the happy truth is,
I'm in the mon-ey!
[Henny & Rodney]
We're screwed, it's true -- and badly!
But gladly we handle the loot!
Yes, we are riding the gravy train
because we both complain --
Now we're both set...
FOR LIFE!
My wife, my wife... please take her!

(ABC) See above!
(ABC) Not one of your ROTFL ones, but not bad...
Not bad
Thanks all, and thanks Merry and Jeff for your honest assessments. I don't think this is a ROTFL-er either -- more like a cute chuckler. Nice to get the candid feedback! (Though ass-kissing and pandering is always welcome, too for those who feel so inclined...)
