| Original Song Title: | "I'm On Fire" |
| Original Performer: | Bruce Springsteen |
| Parody Song Title: | "I'm The Friar" |
| Parody Written by: | Agrimorfee |
Hey Maid Marian, is Robin Hood home?
Or did he go leave you all alone? Hmmm
Come and sit by the fire
Oh, I'm the friar
Tell me now, kiddo, is it true in folklore
That he robs from the rich and feeds the poor? Hmmm
He is needed for hire
Oh, I'm the friar
'Cause old Prince John --very edgy and dull--
Is taxing the peasants and making his pockets full
With all the Merry Men who love to laugh
We could use your assistance and a half, oh yeah
And I'm not a liar
Oh, I'm the friar
Or did he go leave you all alone? Hmmm
Come and sit by the fire
Oh, I'm the friar
Tell me now, kiddo, is it true in folklore
That he robs from the rich and feeds the poor? Hmmm
He is needed for hire
Oh, I'm the friar
'Cause old Prince John --very edgy and dull--
Is taxing the peasants and making his pockets full
With all the Merry Men who love to laugh
We could use your assistance and a half, oh yeah
And I'm not a liar
Oh, I'm the friar

I would've given you fives if you had Tuck come on to Marian.
Lovely.
(ABC3I) I see from the copyright this is one of your earliest works, Agrimorfee. It's also a good one; you did more with this song than I ever could. Nice rhyming and flow. 5s.
abc small but perfectly formed
This one made me Merry, Man
(ABC3) Short,but great 555!
The copyright is a little early. If I remember right, in 1985 Agri wasn't even born yet. Has he been hanging out with "Doc"? As for the song, it is interesting and not the same-old-same-old. 5's. --MM
Mike: I was born in 1970, according to my birth certificate.
(ABC) Let's hear it for us men in tights!
(ABC) I Sherwood have liked this to have been longer but, it was good nonetheless. 555
(ABC3-I) Friar Tuck, Fire Truck, Try A.....no, we'll leave it there - short and sweet, Agri - the idea of somebody calling his gang Merry Men has always cracked me up - 555
(ABC) Oh, those randy friars! Coincides nicely since we're doing the medieval period in English, Agri.
Short and sweet! Nice Cliff Notes version of the Robin Hood story.
ABC...I have no explanation for why, but I loved this song when it came out. Seriously LOVED it. And I was probably, like, 10. Which is pretty weird. Did I know what it was even about? Doubtful. Anyway...as a ten year old, I WAS familiar with Robin Hood...so I would have probably appreciated this as much then as I do now. Nice work, Agri...
