JC SUPERSTAR PARODY-SONG #1

BEATLES ON HIS MIND (Heaven On Their Minds)

JESSE'S DAD:

My son is thirteen now
It's not going well, for I fear he's destroying his ears
Got a record fro-om this new British band
And the noise is destroying my boy

Beatles!
This music that they bring
I just don't understand
That awful song they sing
"I Want to Hold Your Hand"
The music that I love
Will soon be out of date
And what's more my dear boy has said
"Dad you can't relate"

Listen Jesse, I don't like what I hear
So I must make one simple thing clear
And remember- I've been your doting Dad all along
It's just one big noisy band
They're from some other foreign land
And they won't be popular for long

I remember when rock music began
Started with Haley, then along came a man
Name was Elvis-I kind of liked the way he smirked and sang
But now these new guys with the hair
I just don't see the talent there
I can't figure why you liked this gang

Jesse Christ, your fav'rite fools
Should have stayed in Liverpool
Like the other peasantry- drinking their tea
Fish and chips and spotted dick
Speaking with a brogue so thick
Stayed in their own country there, stayed over there!

Listen Jesse, do you care about us?
And remember we don't want any fuss
We are petrified-have you forgotten how uptight we are?
I don't like this teenage crowd
For they are very much too loud
I don't care much for that Ringo Starr

Listen Jesse, to recordings I like
I've got Bing and Sinatra and Spike
And it's sad to see my little boy drifting away from me...
All this mania's unkind
Too much Beatles on their minds
What is happening in our country?
In our big country...
