| Original Performer: | Three Dog Night |
| Parody Song Title: | "Enjoyed The Bird" |
| Parody Written by: | John A. Barry |
*Jeroboam: wine bottle holding about 3 liters; GERD: gastro-esophageal reflux disease.
Jeroboam* was full of grog;
I learned that after I dined.
Couldn't understand why I got so sotted;
I thought I was drinking fine wine,
Although it smelled kind of like turpentine.
CHORUS:
Enjoyed the bird,
Though it gave me GERD*.
Enjoyed the fish, deep-dish delicacy.
Boy, the "wine"'s nasty!
When I took a drink, my tongue curled,
Tell me, "What's this brew?"
It tastes like a sidecar from the bar, but it's warm. . .
Ain't sweet—smells like yew.
CHORUS
So a fun-loving lady
Replaced wine with rum.
She was inspiring; soon she had me firing
Straight shots right down into my tum—
It didn't even linger on my gums.
[Repeat chorus until you pass out]

I found some problems with pacing...may be just me, thoough. Otherwise, it was a really fun parody.
Thanks, Adagio. I really dislike the original, and I ain't wild about the last verse of my attempt. Mainly an excuse to work "jeroboam" into a parody.
Subpar pacing, but funnier than some other food-related parodies I've read. 3-4-3 here!
fives just for the "jeroboam"
Inge., I've got to pace my drinks more carefully when I write these things. Alvin, you've made the jeroboam worth the effort, thanks.
