Parody Written by:

The Lyrics
Another old joke retold in song: a blatant plagiarism of Jake Thackray's excellent "Bantam Cock", but that's the only thing that stopped me writing something that would have been dreadfully libellous to Batman...
He picks up the birdies and he makes them sing
Cheepin' and a-chirpin' and a doin' his thing
Every little budgie, every crow and jay
Love that little robin getting his wicked way
Chorus :
****in' Robin, **** ****
****in' Robin,
**** ****in' Robin,
'cause the birdies gonna **** tonight
Every little swallow, every chick-a-dee
Every little bird in the tall oak tree
All those little birdies that he's never without
See him with a pair of tits, just hangin' out
Chorus
Then the little robin, well he fell down dead
Feet in the air and a still little head
A couple of vultures passing by
Saw his little body from up there in the sky
Poor ol' Robin, Aah, aah
Poor ol' Robin,
Poor ****in' Robin,
All the birdies gonna cry tonight
I was just about to dig a hole, ensure he's interred
'fore he gets eaten by those vulture-y birds
But then he opened up an eye, and he sang a little song
"I hope those big buggers comin' down 'fore too long"
Chorus
Cheepin' and a-chirpin' and a doin' his thing
Every little budgie, every crow and jay
Love that little robin getting his wicked way
Chorus :
****in' Robin, **** ****
****in' Robin,
**** ****in' Robin,
'cause the birdies gonna **** tonight
Every little swallow, every chick-a-dee
Every little bird in the tall oak tree
All those little birdies that he's never without
See him with a pair of tits, just hangin' out
Chorus
Then the little robin, well he fell down dead
Feet in the air and a still little head
A couple of vultures passing by
Saw his little body from up there in the sky
Poor ol' Robin, Aah, aah
Poor ol' Robin,
Poor ****in' Robin,
All the birdies gonna cry tonight
I was just about to dig a hole, ensure he's interred
'fore he gets eaten by those vulture-y birds
But then he opened up an eye, and he sang a little song
"I hope those big buggers comin' down 'fore too long"
Chorus

Hey, check out the google ads: "How to sex your bird ?" ... you couldn't make it up, could you?
Cute!
Phil....I didn't write the comment saying 'didn't like it'. Hmmmpphh...whoever!
I kind of thought you hadn't. It really shows a lack of imagination not even to be able to think up a name to hide behind, don't you think?
I've had this happen to me as well on one of your songs, Phil. Why do people have to be so ugly?. This kind of stuff is not funny.
And I know this joke well. Nice set up and delivery of a great old joke turned parody. I'm glad to see others doing joke parodies besides myself. Well done.

Well, I liked it Phil. And congratulations, this appears to be your 300th post here - - - Hear, hear....
Well, Paul, it's actually my 299th... I'm about to submit my 300th now as it happens :-) (Is this a case of premature congratulation?)
Funny stuff, Philbo! Have a pipeful of Longbottom Leaf to celebrate # 300!
Yea, it does show lack of imagination and thughtlessness to use another's name...and congrat's on almost 300.
I especially liked the line about the tits.
Good stuff, Phil. Congrads on 'submitting' 300. The extra day of waiting builds suspense, in a 'where the **** is the update?' kind of way.
You know ,for some reason,and up until the line about the tits,I was sure that this was a parody talking about Micheal Jackson (read it again,you'll see how...)CURSE THESE UNISEX NAMES !!!! Robin ,Marian ,Adrian(now ,characters appearing in "Rocky XIII",the fight for Sherwood Forest!). 5's from me,thanks!
I was more amused by the 'every little swallow' remark. Call me a mentally demented mongo (my mum does) but I DON'T GET THE ENDING. Please enlighten my pathetic thickness!
's OK Jake - no demented mongo status required... the ending means the robin is playing dead, wanting the vultures to come down so that he do to them as he would do (and indeed has done) unto others, so to speak. I didn't have quite as many verses to play with as your namesake, so didn't have the space to make it blindingly obvious, I'm afraid.
Your stuff cracks me up! --555-- Phil, did you know that the original was done by Bobby Day (I had forgotten, had to Google) in 1958? A chart topper, of course, and it's flip "Over and Over" was huge, too. I notice that this site doesn't have a 50s category, just "misc", unless I'm missing something, I'm new here. Great job, man.
Thanks, Rod - though even the 60s section is a relatively recent development, made inevitable by the numbers of Beatles parodies submitted I guess. I remember "Over and Over" being played er.. repeatedly (though presumably not when it was originally released, as I wasn't born then - must have been re-released).
(123) See above comments. Restoring my previous vote.
(123) Commented, restored vote. :)
Funny stuff...5s
(123) Smutty, disgraceful...and delightful! 555
(123) This song was ****ing good.
(123) Thought about spelling-out that censored word, but decided that one would have to be an asterisk it.
Yes, JD - I thought I'd do a song that was a bit asterisqué...
Thanks, everyone :-)
Thanks, everyone :-)
Very good development to an excellent last verse.
(123) ha ha - masterful
