The Lyrics
Look no further than this recording by Moneyshot Cosmonauts (featuring the Seamonkeys).
I just got married and moved out of town
Bought some kids and a vinyl fence
I'm settling down
But this relocation has frazzled my nerves
It's hard to be a street-walking crack whore
Out here in the burbs!
Where I've been
Hookin' for drugs in all the wrong places
Hookin' for drugs in green public spaces
Picking up johns rounding the bases
At grade school kickball games
Knockin' on doors like a girl scout with cookies
In search of smack for my nookie
I blow for blow
Hookin' for drugs
I strip at the strip malls and park in the parks
I really love my neighbors
Except for the narcs
But there's no red-light district to practice my art
So instead I'm the blue-light special
Down at K-Mart!
And I keep
Hookin' for drugs in all the wrong places
Hookin' for drugs at the Scrapbook Oasis
Parkin' my van in handicapped spaces
At Sam's Club and Applebee's
Hopin' to score a morphine prescription
Tradin' my pediatrician
My junk for junk
Hookin' for drugs
One day I felt guilty and told my priest
And right away my sales increased!
He joined me
Hookin' for drugs in all the wrong places
Hookin' for drugs at St. Mary Teresa's
Workin' the crowds at bicycle races
And the drive-through at Dairy Queen
Hopin' to feed my speedball addiction
Down at the Franciscan mission
My crack buys crack
Hookin' for drugs
It's my junk for junk
Hookin' for drugs
Bought some kids and a vinyl fence
I'm settling down
But this relocation has frazzled my nerves
It's hard to be a street-walking crack whore
Out here in the burbs!
Where I've been
Hookin' for drugs in all the wrong places
Hookin' for drugs in green public spaces
Picking up johns rounding the bases
At grade school kickball games
Knockin' on doors like a girl scout with cookies
In search of smack for my nookie
I blow for blow
Hookin' for drugs
I strip at the strip malls and park in the parks
I really love my neighbors
Except for the narcs
But there's no red-light district to practice my art
So instead I'm the blue-light special
Down at K-Mart!
And I keep
Hookin' for drugs in all the wrong places
Hookin' for drugs at the Scrapbook Oasis
Parkin' my van in handicapped spaces
At Sam's Club and Applebee's
Hopin' to score a morphine prescription
Tradin' my pediatrician
My junk for junk
Hookin' for drugs
One day I felt guilty and told my priest
And right away my sales increased!
He joined me
Hookin' for drugs in all the wrong places
Hookin' for drugs at St. Mary Teresa's
Workin' the crowds at bicycle races
And the drive-through at Dairy Queen
Hopin' to feed my speedball addiction
Down at the Franciscan mission
My crack buys crack
Hookin' for drugs
It's my junk for junk
Hookin' for drugs

Yeah, suburbia sucks. This parody, on the other hand, is brilliant! Great wordplay throughout!
High-ho, Sir Spaff! Hugh Grand and I I hole-partedly endorse (n' resemble) this high'larious parody!
It's getting crazy out here in the 'burbs! The other day I saw a melee of Feds, meth, & cheap blondes at Bed, Bath & Beyond.
At least you can score a hit of 5-5-5 anytime. Good job. ;D
Great theme and some great lines in this one - really liked the blue light special line.
There was some great lines in here as usual Spaff my favorites were: "Hookin' for drugs at the Scrapbook Oasis" and "But there's no red-light district to practice my art
So instead I'm the blue-light special". Brilliant although I do not endorse slutting it up for drugs... Especially when you sound like Johnny Lee.
Fifteen Nail Mary's and go in piece.
You're sure looking for 5's in all the right places with this one, Spaff! Nice to see you writing again! Great take on the song and well-executed parody! Enjoyed it lots!
Spaff. Spaff, Spaff! It was extremely funny up to the point of the priest....I object.
Absurdist hilarity (or is that hilarious absurdity?)... Either way, I'm ROFL! 555
This is primo stuff, man! 5's
This is HILARIOUS love love it, 555 and the recording
Thanx, MasonR & Heidi Ho & OMRibber & Timmy & Matty & Johnglebarry & CMM & Fiddler & Phil & Local Celeb!
Henny: You'll see the same thing at the Men's Whorehouse. I guarantee it.
Patagio: I had no choice but to go with "priest" because it rhymes with "increased." (It's the rules of the game. Don't blame the player.) If it makes you feel better, pretend I meant a druid priest or a Pythian priest or the band Judas Priest.
