Why are there so many parody writers?
And what's inside of their minds?

Writers have visions
Of hidden potential
Inside every song that they find

Why do they parody other folks' music?
What do they hope to achieve?

They seek to give you
A laughter infection
A sickness that cures all disease

Who says that lyrics
Should never be mangled
By parody writers' minds?

If someone says that,
And if they've writ-ten songs,
Let theirs be next in line!

Why's it surprising
That we're satirizing
What other folks write, if we please?

We want to give you
This laughter infection
This sickness that cures all disease

When you're infected,
You'll feel,
Much healthier,
As if
By
Ma-gic

Have you been half-asleep
While at your computer
And heard voices in your head?

Voices reciting
Some stupid new lyrics
For Devo or The Grateful Dead?

I'm hearing one
Right here now
At this moment
It's Kermit The Frog, I believe

I think I've caught it
That laughter infection
That sickness that cures all disease

Let us share with you
Our laughter infection
Our sickness that cures all disease
