| Parody Song Title: | "Extra Cargo" |
| Parody Written by: | Rick Cormier |
Yet another "fat" parody. My first one though.
Extra cargo
It seems your meal times are endless
Eating habits are senseless. You're sold on chow
Oh, you're a half-ton
For lunch, three chickens, unseasoned
With two cans of peas and stew
Dessert to come now
Time to gnaw on fifteen Almond Joys
They'll seat behind your navel
You know the cream-filled tarts, your appetite, did whet
But it seems that all this dining
Serves to make your legs unstable
And, it's only to the Tums, you can get
Extra cargo
Why's that bread white? Don't you wonder?
Again you will plunder through five or six loaves
You'll eat "em, oh, eat "em. Once you start, there's no stoppin'
In gravy, you'll sop "em till those loaves are all gone
You like meatloaf cold after dinnertime
And you won't slow till the plate does shine
Afraid to tell your doctor what you weigh
Contusions on your thighs and toes
It ain't funny when a steak knife goes astray
Extra cargo
Now you can't fit on park benches
Your waist grew three inches since yesterday, late
If you keep gaining, you'll need a crane just to budge you
You better let somebody nudge you
(Let somebody nudge you)
You better let somebody nudge you
You are what you ate
It seems your meal times are endless
Eating habits are senseless. You're sold on chow
Oh, you're a half-ton
For lunch, three chickens, unseasoned
With two cans of peas and stew
Dessert to come now
Time to gnaw on fifteen Almond Joys
They'll seat behind your navel
You know the cream-filled tarts, your appetite, did whet
But it seems that all this dining
Serves to make your legs unstable
And, it's only to the Tums, you can get
Extra cargo

10 Almond Joys, plus 5 more in hiding for a snack later.
You are what you write, and you are all right!
delicious wordplay
Well done!
really good pacing
This is heavy....and funny...
Thanks RA, JD, Alvin, Jeff, Royce and AFW. I appreciate your stopping in.
lovely job, as usual, Rick - and some very funny lines - 555
Thanks Stu.
No lightweight are you, Rick! 5s
Thanks Rod. By the way, great last name for a writer!
I thought this was gonna be another pregnant-Britney parody. Fortunately, you chose another path. Ant: Clearly, you were feeling like a nut when you made that comment.
Pretty funny, Rick...but now I want an Almond Joy...; )
I ate it up. 545
Thank you Michael, Arwen and Agrimorfee ! :-)
Arwen: Almond Joy? There's a joke I could tell there, but not in front of a princess.
Oh come ON! I promise not to blush. Well...I might...but you know that'll just increase my appeal...; )
Arwen, Michael...get a chat room.
That's sooo funny! I wonder if Don Henley Likes gopher Holes. (and I don't mean ME. I mean the holes in the ground where gophers live.) If anybody know, please tell me! It's essentational for my well-being.
Wow! If subs for Desperado you weren't hard enough, you had to come and pull of this little gem. Every line is pure hillarity!
(ABC3) Why did I vote this 545 last time?! Must have had indigestion or something.
(ABC3) LOL! I do think that's the fattest song I ever read, yes and to Desperado yet...I know how hard it is to come up with subs for that one. 5's
(ABC3E) See above!, and great SUBS throughout, not the least of 'WICH is the title. Ahem, enough lame puns already. Not sure if you meant it as a pun, but "Why's that bread white? Don't you wonder?" was funny too.
OK, now that I have laughed myself to a stupor, you need to have a look at "Greaseful Queasy Feeling!"--MM
Thanks Gopher Holes, Matthias, Agrimorfee and Adagio.
Thanks Jack, yeah the white Wonder Bread was intentional. You're the first to mention it though.
Thanks, Michael, I'll go check that one out.

(ABC) Heehee see above!
(ABC3E) great stuff ('ing yer face) Rick! - loved the park benches line
nice tuff, people pretty much covered comments i woulda made, 5s
Peas...healthy eating there for Mr. Extra Cargo. What's he wearing today, cargo pants? Well done.
(ABC3E) It's DANG hard to do an eating/fat parody for Amiright nowadays, coz most of the jokes have been done...but you pretty well pulled it off, Rick. 555
