The Lyrics
This is my first parody of a song by Def Leppard. As a matter of fact, I am the first one to write a parody of “Rocket.” This song parody is a tribute to Robin Williams. Someone lectured me to not let list songs be a habit of mine, but I will do my best in writing this song parody. In memory of Robin Williams (1951-2014).
Ah ah
Ooh ooh
Ah ah
Ooh ooh
So bright, all funny, when Robin was around
TV’s Mork & Mindy, Robin’s first funny sounds
Ah ah
Ooh ooh
Grown-up Peter Pan, Popeye the Sailor Man
Big blue Genie in a lamp, what a big cramp!
At least, he broke free
Robin sang "You Ain't Never Had a Friend Like Me”
A funny guy
He played as Mrs. Doubtfire the big fat nanny
Wish he was here, wish he was here, he’s not here
Robin, yeah, we’re all missing you
Robin, yeah, we’re all missing you
Robin, yeah, we’re all missing you
Robin Willy! Robin, all of us fans really miss you
Ooh ooh
Ah ah
Ooh ooh
Ah ah
Dead Poets Society...was his biggest tragedy
Once said “Good Morning, Vietnam!” What a bomb!
Tried to be funny
He played Jumanji against evil Hunter Van Pelt
A funny guy
At a big museum, he did Teddy Roosevelt
Wish he was here, wish he was here, he’s not here
Robin, yeah, we’re all missing you
Robin, yeah, we’re all missing you
Robin, yeah, we’re all missing you
Robin Willy! Robin, a funny guy
We’re all missing you
He was a funny guy
He spent so many years trying to be sober
A funny guy
Especially when he made some green goo called Flubber
Wish he was here, wish he was here, he’s not here
Robin, yeah, we’re all missing you
Robin, yeah, we’re all missing you
Robin, yeah, we’re all missing you
Willi...ams! Robin! A funny guy!
Robin, yeah, we’re all missing you (A funny guy)
Robin, yeah, (yeah) we’re all missing you
Robin, yeah!

I don’t know what was going through Robin’s head when he committed suicide. However, this song parody is all thanks to TV’s Mork & Mindy (1978) and the following films: Popeye (1980), Good Morning, Vietnam (1987), Dead Poets Society (1989), Hook (1991), Disney’s Aladdin (1992), Mrs. Doubtfire (1993), Jumanji (1995), Disney’s Flubber (1997), & Night at the Museum (2006). Special Thanks to the historical events of Theodore Roosevelt and the War of Vietnam. And all in memory of Robin Williams (1951-2014).

Great job...I'm so impressed with your ability to reference so many of Robin's career highlights into an excellent song. You have a gift and I really hope you do more!
