Parody Song Title:	"I Surged Right Up That Great Vine"
Parody Written by:	Alvin Rhodes

...jack and the beanstalk...with soul...

ooh..i went and swapped a cow that moos
for some...beans...where magic brews
from some ol' odd guy...never seen before
my mama bugged out her eyes...i knew that she was sore
that stalk began to rise...i must say
and i crept up...yesterday

don't you know that i surged right up that great vine
a lot farther than i had climbed
oh...i surged right up that great vine
what i saw just made me lose my mind
mama, mama, yeah

i saw a man...standin'...oh so high
and i...feared...that i might just die
lootin' him could end my life, you see
but i...fleeced him recklessly
i grabbed his harp...and his hen
then i raced back down again

oh yeah...i surged right down that great vine
with that...man....right on my behind
oh...i surged right down that great vine
and he's furious i robbed him blind
mama, mama, yeah

leapin' free...i did cleave...off that stalk you see
then i ran...till i was clear
the giant fell...plainly unamused
he was through...so it does appear
guess...my plan...was apropos
feel my mama's pride...more than before

don't you know that i turned and hewed that great vine
and no...longer...am the poor kind
oh...i turned and hewed that great vine
and the singin' harp and hen are mine
mama, mama, yeah

I was REALLY hoping that title was a sex-themed double entendre. Certainly, Marvin would have approved. Alas...

Ha ha - I read the title as the original 'grape' and thought it was going to be about trying to get to Bakersfield thru the recent snow...

Sir Alvin, could you do one about the 'graphVine'? At least us west coasters would understand & appreciate it ! It's the mainline between SoCAL & NorCAL., so very vital it be!
