The Lyrics

If you knew Barbie like I knew Barbieoh, oh, oh what a doll!.................. for an mp3 of the OS in another window, rightclick here
She was only sixteen
inches but gee
how I loved her so-oo-oh
She was too small
for me to love
but I was too dumb to know

We'd laugh and we'd play
on the buffet
and it made my par(er, heart!) grow-oo-oh
but she was too teeny
to take a w*****
seems "no" really did mean "NO"

So why did I have to go that far?
It never can happen again
coz I'd had a hundred lovers before
she'd had, at best, a pen

She was only sixteen
inches but gee
(ooh!)
she played hard to get
She was too tight
on that sad night
(I thought she just wasn't wet)


[ inexplicably light-hearted instrumental as I wander sadly along a riverbank, alone with my grief ]


So why did I try to light a fire
with only one dry log to use
I guess that I swung my axe too hard
It split that log in two

Now she has only been gone
two days or so
(ooh!)
but my life has been hell
I dug a grave
and then I gave
both bits a fond farewell

Yes, she was too small
(me, not at all)
twas NOT
not a GOOD match
not a
GOOD
match
I
sup-
po-ose

(wail!!!!!)

THANKS RICK!! Yes, true love knows no boundaries! (.....er, well in this case one boundary, but I mean generally-speaking...)

LMAO, Alvin! - most dolls were safe with him around :-)

thanks Stephen

thanks Matthias - actually the one I once did a double-take on is Combat Barbie - whoa, noone can tell me SHE doesn't kick ass!

thanks AFW, and thanks for the ringing endorsement PMS ;-)

LOL Luke, I can't imagine how that wussy OS ever made it into a play, except because of its wussiness - oh I get it

thanks Johnny - you're getting too cryptic for me nowadays - I might run those last words thru an anagram decipherer :-)

Trying desperately to work in a "barbie-cue" sort of joke... but failed miserably :-) Too busy sitting with legs crossed and tears in eyes, I guess. Very funny, Stuart.

ha - I did a short film once, Phil, and in it I sent up the line "throw another shrimp on the barbie" from that US ad to promote Aussie tourism, and yes, of course, the sight gag was throwing a shrimp on a naked barbie doll - got adequate (no less no more) laughs during the screening!

(ABC3O) One of your best, Stu. TMGLTM. See above.

(ABC3) A big problem (oops!) with this song is that without the Barbie contextual intro you wrote, this comes off like one very sick tune.
Michael McVey - January 09, 2007 - Report this comment
Actually, I thought this one was quite funny. The problem is question isn't one that gets lampooned very often.---MM

(ABC3O) Oh dear. The songs you come up with, Stu...they're funny and all, but...oh dear...

thanks Charnstar, Red Ant, Agri, Mike, tomario and bobpie

point taken Agri - which is why I spelt out the scenario in the intro, but as I was writing it (trying to honour the title sub, which I liked), I felt like maybe I'm on a little bit of shaky ground here ;-)

(ABC3O) How'd I miss this? Oh yeah, it was when I was "out of commission"...this is so, SO wrong, it transcends funny all the way to mirthful but shocked AWE! Makes a great companion piece to "Ken (A Doll's Tale)"...LOVELY! 555+
Jack Wilson - January 15, 2007 - Report this comment
Im with Charnstar on that, but still this was awesome, I guess that goes to show ya, never put your shrimp on a Barbie ( you should get that joke really easy too )
Johnny D - January 16, 2007 - Report this comment
(ABC) Still a brilliant example of Aurora Australis Insanity! Stu, here's a new cryptic puzzler for you, with an extremely sick and twisted Barbie Doll connection: Google the following three things simultaneously: "wonder of the world", "barbie", and "kip".
