| Parody Song Title: | "Did You Ever Say You Had A Good Time?" |
| Parody Written by: | Adagio |
Did you ever say you had a good time?
Make one up to save your lyin' behind.
That's pretty easy but it's not very kind.
Did you ever say you had a good time?
Did you ever your true feelings deny?
Smile "yes" to one but let your true wishes slide.
There's so many chains there and cares you must hide.
Did you ever your true feelings deny?
At times dare to give big fat lies, shoot, feel real funny.
The air should be clear, not empty, but sunny.
So just give a wink when you go out the door.
You part, all puffed up by your lousy little whirl.
But then your host asks if, (he's trying to be kind).
"Did you have fun?"(and, yes, you're trying to hide).
There's so many answers, you fear you will lie.
Did you ever really finally decide?
And it looks as if you did finally decide.
You're done with his questions and now you can ride.
There were so many answers you feared you would lie.
It looks as if you did finally decide.
At times you really can leave the moment their eyes do err.
But then they are attracted like band-aid on blister.
You think why the bother, you're walkin' the line.
You say, "I'd better go home, now. Say, you were so kind."

Wow! I was just thinking of this OS this morning! I think, from now on, I'll just call you Claire Voyant! Oh yeah, great job on this..555

(SOTM) see above
Thanks wannabe, and Agrimorfee!
Wow! An Adagio parody I understand! My medication must be wearing off or something. I really like the OS too. It was good for me - was it good for you too?
Thanks, Spaff. : ) "Understandable" must have been a slip with me. I'll take care of that. : D Can't let you go understanding my stuff. j/k
Spaff...guess it was good for me...I got a parody out of your comment. : D
SOTM - What Spaff said about comprehension, or maybe I just need more beer.
(SOTM) See above comment...still cool.
(SOTM) A five time was had by all !
Thanks Johnny!!! Thanks Kristof.

SOTM - DKTOS, but this was a funny read we can all probably relate to.
Thanks YWN!
(SOTM) I found a MIDI for this OS, lyrics tracked flawlessly. And I didn't have a good time reading this-I had a great time. : ) 5s.
(SOTM) See above.
Thanks Jack : ), thanks Rick C.
(SOTM) Wish I knew the OS to appreciate your lyrics more, but 'tis always a pleasure perusing your works, adagio.
(SOTM) Funny one! Only know part of the original from a commercial, but this was really well written and funny.
Nice job
Thanks Luke, Larry and Claude. :)
SOTM...ah...a couple of clever folks stole my "I had a good time reading this" line...that's what I get for showing up on the freaking 30th, huh? Nice work...
(SOTM) You've got to be cruel to be kind, in the right measure... oh, wait, wrong song. 5's
Thanks Arwen and Tim.
Fun read. I agree with the others, this is definitely very Adagioesque.
(SOTM) DKTOS
Thanks 2nz and MG.
Did you ever give a Five as a lie?
The Turtle won't do that; nor truth he deny
He loves this OS and rates parody high
He will give you Fives, and that is no lie!
