| Original Performer: | Elton John |
| Parody Song Title: | "I Guess That's Why I Polished My Shoes" |
| Parody Written by: | Jim Rotondo |
Written in view of the current U.S. economic meltdown.
Don’t give it away, Don’t look at money like it lasts forever
I just lost my job, must get off the couch
And pursue a new endeavor.
I feel like a bum, so I’ll powerwash my old belly button,
And it won’t be long, Till I arrive in New York
Where I last had mutton.
And I guess that’s why I polished my shoes,
I’m out of work, there’s few options to choose.
My unemployment , My next appointment
Interview blunder, well it’s no wonder
And I guess that’s why I polished my shoes.
That massive Layoff,
Stock market terror at hand,
The plummeting Dow.
Increasing bank closures
Mission accomplished? His heads in the sand!
With no paycheck,
I’ll cry in my beans and my rice, (Condoleezza Rice)
But as the days pass, take comfort in knowing
Dr. Phil’s advice.
And I guess that’s why I polished my shoes,
I’m out of work, there’s few options to choose.
My unemployment, My next appointment
Interview blunder, well it’s no wonder
And I guess that’s why
I polished my shoes.
SOLO
With no paycheck,
I’ll cry in my beans and my rice, (Condoleezza Rice)
But as the days pass, take comfort in knowing
Dr. Phil’s advice.
And I guess that’s why I polished my shoes,
I’m out of work, there’s few options to choose.
My unemployment , My next appointment

retained the sad tone of the OS well
Perfect pacing, and so true for these tough times.
Thanks very much, was inspired by VH1's "Me, Myself & Elton" the other day.
