Song Parodies -> A Big Spender

Original Song Title:	"Hey Big Spender"
Original Performer:	Shirley Bassey

Parody Song Title:	"A Big Spender"
Parody Written by:	Airfarcewon

Each day I wake up, all annoyed
When I think about the
High cost of living..
A..real big spender
That's what I've..now become..
Teetering on the edge
Of bankruptcy, and plumb numb

The food market trips, once enjoyed
Are like dentist visits,
'Cause they're making me..
A..big spender,
Spend....more than my salary..

Each day I get the mail..dun, dun, dun
Creditors all on my ass..mass
I can't show 'em a thin dime
Cannot show 'em a thin dime..

Sometimes, just like..Pretty Boy Floyd
Feel like robbin' places..
With a machine gun..
This real big spender
Feels fed up..and maligned
George Bush wouldn't want to know
What's goin' on in my mind..
The price at the pump, sore point
Gonna' pop my cork,
If this don't end..real soon
A big spender
A big spender
This big spender,
Might...just move up to the moon..

Sir, L'Air de Farce, oh, how I do share your concern about this crazy economy! I wonder where it will take us . . .

Sir, I recall that Peggy Lee also did a rendition of this song, that became quite popular. . . ." the minute you walked in the room, I could tell you were a man of distinction, a real big Spender . . . "

I recall that when GrandPaw lit up his cigar . . . it signaled that he was going to 'Spend some Money' . . . & somehow that vision has me equating cigars with money & the fun to come !

Thanks, Lady Unknown...yes, Peggy had a big hit with it...yes, recall the old expression, "He's so rich, he lights cigars with five dollar bills...".....I just wish I had a five dollar bill, I could afford to pay it!

Farce - This was time well spent reading this. Hell - I'm so broke that I can't afford to pay attention. And I agree that Dubya doesn't want to know what is going on in your mind, but lets hope no "men in black" decide that they want to find out. Another great write pulled from the dusty OS archives. I'm already voting 5s and wishing I had a few Abes in the old wallet.
