The Lyrics

A child connived though he came to play,
This "man" of the world liked this usable prey.
He had trains and cash and thrills all day,
He yearned to fock these young boys that stay.
They came flockin' on up to it; they liked his zoo,
He'd say, I'm gonna sure like you, lad,
You know I'm gonna sure like you.

This cat robbed the cradle with his silver tune,
Little boys blew as he's walkin' the moon.
When we are alone, lad
We'll both pretend, that you and I both are ten,
Even though I'm four times ten.

Yes he thinks he's ten, trust me yes he's gay,
He said, you're such a doll lad, come spend the day.
Gonna breach ya real slow, when you come to stay,
It's all you got to do, it be child's play.
So if he walked this way when he's done gone limp,
That lad be walking gimp, yeah
You know he's gonna walk some gimp.

This cat robbed the cradle with his silver tune,
Little boys blew as he's walkin' the moon.
When we are alone, lad
We'll both pretend, that you and I both are ten,
Even though I'm four times ten.

So there's carnal knowledge, the judge should say,
We should slap this "man" right in jail today.
When the poundin's through they can't sit for a while,
I hope he's dread 'bout the thoughts of his trial.
Used to really like "Bad", this bizarro's so sleased,
Master baiter sets the trap with cheese.

This cat robbed the cradle with his silver tune,
Little boys blew as he's walkin' the moon.
When we are alone, lad
We'll both pretend, that you and I both are ten,
Even though I'm four times ten.

Some children he sired, not the normal way,
He toyed with one on that porch that day.
He said as a father he was really kind,
If he had dropped that lad, would this have been a crime?
You see, it's youth robbed and hustled to the kids that he do,
Now it's sure nice stalking is through, yeah
Roll the dice, we'll see how you do.

Soon he'll be strung up and prone, this turd you'll see,
He'll groan in cell block three,
A toy for cell block three.

This cat robbed the cradle with his silver tune,
Little boys blew as he's walkin' the moon.
When we are alone, lad
We'll both pretend, that you and I both are ten,
Even though I'm four times ten.

Guy, that's funny and freaky at the same time. I really like it...it has substance to it...not just bad-mouthing. 5's

BEST damn "Jacko the pedophile" parody I have ever read on this site--loved the puns/close allusions to the original lyrics, and the allusions to Jackson's own career as a songwriter. 5's all round!

Fantastic and clever Guy. The judge should take his album titles as some kind of slow release confession ("Bad" then "Dangerous" then after being sprung: "History" or at least he hoped it was) - 555
Kristof Robertson - October 26, 2004 - Report this comment
Excellent...probably the sharpest Jacko parody I've read! 555

Cleverly creepy addition to the MJ-genre, Guy. Good job, 5's.

Simply excellent, Guy. This bozo deserves the chair, gas chamber, lethal injection, and then a hanging at high noon. 5's

(SOTM) Stuart McArthur: You could also point out that "Billy Jean" probably wasn't his son since that's not the way he like/liked to sow his seed.

LOL K1 - clues everywhere if you want them
Jake A Ralphing (Luke Brattoni) - November 08, 2004 - Report this comment
Billy Jean is not my son... so at least it wasn't incest. Still a great parody!

SOTM... interesting parody, Guy.

I'm sick of the MJ parodies. Unless it's in the hands of a master, of course. Great.

Wowzers, Guy. Pretty crude and satirical, worthy of Zappa at his most acidic. This is a high contender for Gold. 555
John Jenkins - November 13, 2004 - Report this comment
Well done, Guy. A lot of good lines, particularly the moon walking lines.
