| Parody Song Title: | "You're a Drain" |
| Parody Written by: | Merry & Pippin |
You moved into my condo one day back in '95
You had strategically slipped under my guard
By talking a lot of jive
You had one bag and a suitcase that
You'd brought from your old dive
And lots of grand plans of finding a job yeah
Finding a job yeah and...
You're a drain
I must think of some way to evict you
You're a drain
I must think of some way to evict you
Kick you out yeah
You conned me several years ago when I was still quite naive
You said that it'd be less than a full year
But I found that you'd never leave
Well you sold off all the things I loved
Including my TV
I found I paid for all of your coffee
Your Starbucks coffee and...
You're a drain
You're someone that I must give the flick to
You're a drain
You're someone that I must give the flick to
Kick you out yeah
Well I watched you scarf down my Coca-Cola
Play Disco Duck just for fun
Then you blew my rent dough on a stupid greyhound
You called a fortune waiting to be won
Well your pet rat is no friend of mine
And when you're hot you sit
In underwear such that reminds me of Pig-Pen
'Minds me of Pig-Pen, and...
You're a drain
I must think of some way to evict you
You're a drain
You're someone that I must give the flick to
Yes you prick, you
You had strategically slipped under my guard
By talking a lot of jive
You had one bag and a suitcase that
You'd brought from your old dive
And lots of grand plans of finding a job yeah
Finding a job yeah and...
You're a drain
I must think of some way to evict you
You're a drain
I must think of some way to evict you
Kick you out yeah
You conned me several years ago when I was still quite naive
You said that it'd be less than a full year
But I found that you'd never leave
Well you sold off all the things I loved
Including my TV
I found I paid for all of your coffee
Your Starbucks coffee and...
You're a drain
You're someone that I must give the flick to
You're a drain
You're someone that I must give the flick to
Kick you out yeah
Well I watched you scarf down my Coca-Cola

Then you blew my rent dough on a stupid greyhound
You called a fortune waiting to be won
Well your pet rat is no friend of mine
And when you're hot you sit
In underwear such that reminds me of Pig-Pen
'Minds me of Pig-Pen, and...
You're a drain
I must think of some way to evict you
You're a drain
You're someone that I must give the flick to
Yes you prick, you

I enjoyed this parody
Was this inspired by real events? The details are great.
Hey Yoness.. I do have some vague memory of using rent money to pay for _coffee_, but I've tried to mentaly block it out...! No, it is basically a work of fiction. Thanks to Pippin for that last verse!
Beautiful!
Excellent parody with good specific detail. I would have made it "finding employment, finding employment and..." Keep writing!
You are a couple of talented hobbits! I laughed my butt off!! Good job!
As they say in N'Yawk, "Poifect!"
Hilarious! Another one to add to the fave list.
Great, one of my favourite songs still sounds good with new words.
This sounds this parady was written about "Big Brother" Ha! Ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
