The Lyrics

...a nod to john barry for the ol' yeller inspiration...
in the town...where i was born
lived a dog...belovedly
twas a sad...end to his life
cause he had...a bad disease

so we nailed...him with a gun
though we found...it brought unease
then we dug...that beast a grave
poor ol' yeller...he's deceased

life was grim when ol' yeller got diseased
fella was diseased...hell, we were displeased
life was grim when ol' yeller got diseased
fella was diseased...hell, we were displeased

twas an act...we all deplored
bullets tore in him...what a roar
and his leg...began to flail

thumpety thump a thump-a-dump
a thump-a-dump...a thump-a-dump

life was grim when ol' yeller got diseased
fella was diseased...hell, we were displeased
life was grim when ol' yeller got diseased
fella was diseased...hell, we were displeased

SPOKEN:
right in the head of this barker...right in the head
looks like he's dead, sir
wait a minute...wait a minute
nope...still yappin'....yappin'

and we grieve..this bag o' fleas (bag o' fleas)
every one of us (every one of us)
in horror, seized (in horror seized)
sighted true (sighted true)
and trigger squeezed (trigger squeezed)
cause ol yeller (cause ol' yeller)
was diseased (was diseased)
WAH..HAH !

life was grim when ol' yeller got diseased
fella was diseased...hell, we were displeased
life was grim when ol' yeller got diseased
fella was diseased...hell, we were displeased

life was grim when ol' yeller got diseased
fella was diseased...hell, we were displeased
life was grim when ol' yeller got diseased
fella was diseased...hell, we were displeased

My fave of the day, with or without the nod--especially the "thumpety thump" bridge.

Good parody, Alvin, but I'm more impressed by your comment. You crank out a parody a day and you have them scheduled a week (or more) in advance?
