The Lyrics

You let me plunge this crap out.
You left me without a doubt.
Just hand me that old U-gun.
So we can get this clog out.

Help me, just pass me that corkscrew.
Help me, I might work somewhere else.
Help me, just hand me that old plunger.
Or I'll just get it all by myself.

I wanna plunge it like a janitor.
I wanna pull out all it's insides.
I wanna plunge it like a janitor.
This whole business is flawed.
This gets me closer to clogs.

You pay me 200 bucks.
With this job that really sucks.
I wanna get it all out.
I need to get my plunger out.

Help me, I gave all my while.
Help me, this crap is packed in some where else.
Help me, I'm gonna need a name brand.
Help me get this stuff from myself.

I wanna plunge it like a janitor.
I wanna pull out all it's inside.
I wanna plunge it like a janitor.
My whole business is flawed.
This gets me closer to clogs.

Through the lead pipes.
The stenchy breeze.
I take a big puff.
Then I sneeze.
The disinfectent.
Will make it fine.
The limey scent.
Keeps me alive.

(ABC) I'll raise a glass of Liquid Plumber and toast to that! And them immediately pour my toast-glass's contents down the sink, of course!

Three things a plumber needs to know: Gas goes up, poop goes down, payday's on Friday.

"I want to plunge it like a janitor" is classic. I can hear Trent Reznor singing this. (In the bathroom - for acoustics, of course.)

The beat in the song fit the subject matter of the parody perfectly! :-)

4,4,4. Didn't take my breath away like the subject matter would... but it was good.

I really only know the original from Weird Al's "The Alternative Polka" but still you gotta love songs about plumbers.

Dittos on the chorus (the only part I really remember anyway). Very good job.

Great idea, some problems with pacing. 4/5/5

(ABC) STG- DKTOS on original. Don't know if you posted an audio link, I can't access Messageboard this morning - getting an error message there.
