| Original Song Title: | "The Gambler" |
| Original Performer: | Kenny Rogers |
| Parody Song Title: | "The Juggler" |
| Parody Written by: | Royce Miller |
On a warm summer's evening
A guy came out of nowhere
He said he was a juggler, the kind that juggles hearts
So I took quite an interest and looked at him with wide eyes
He'd done so much juggling, it became his art
He said girl, I've made some fun
Out of pushin' people's buttons
And exercising power over their emotions true
So I juggle hearts like melons
As high as I can throw em
If you've got a minute, I will demonstrate for you
So I drank a shot of whiskey, this guy was so shifty
Then I waited for his show, I figured I could learn
How to spot a user, a callous mind abuser
Then he spewed out his b.s., as my anger burned
Chorus:
You got to know how to toss em
Know how to cross em
Know how to throw em high
Laugh when they crash down
You never stop your jugglin
Cause there's lots of hapless victims
But I'll end up old and lonely, when my jugglin's done
Every juggler knows there's lots of lonely people
Some of them you throw away, some you try to keep
If you wanna be a winner
Well then stay away from heartbreak
Stay away from guys like me, cause they'll make you weep
And when he finished talkin, he gathered up his toy balls
Put em in a burlap bag, and slung it cross his back
And I left a little wiser, what a weird adviser
But now I'll know a heartache when it's comin down the track
Repeat Chorus

Good job.
Lovely, Royce: another one with more depth than the average parody.
Wow.
Not what I expected at all; I thought wow, even Royce wrote a Janet Jackson song. But it's not "The Jiggler", it's "The Juggler". And it's quite good.
An instructive parody! :-)
Claude-Thanks for your comments-I really was gonna write a Janet parody, but sort of fizzled out when I saw all the others; and they were all great.
Very insightful and deep. Head over heels better than my dribble:) 555
Paul--Nothing like real life experience to make a person think
