The Lyrics

Thanks for the emery
You precious little board,
Thank you and thank the Lord..
An aid to us, a real big plus
When our long nails need scored
How grateful we are!

Thanks for the emery
Without it, fingers snag
Split and are a drag
Need emery's pledge to smooth the edge
Then grooming's in the bag
We thank you so much!

All the world's happy..you are there,
So neat in your little ..jar there
Small lathe..by our bath..counter bar there
My dear F file, you make us smile..

So, thanks for the emery,
You also do our toes,
Low digits in tight rows
The manicures and pedicures
They save our nerves, God knows!
Your touch means so much!


And thanks for the emery
The large stone sharpens knives
Helpful in our lives
Hones up the axe, so no one lacks
The good that wood derives
We need you so much!

Thanks for the emery
In olden times, a wheel
Pedal, scrape, and squeal
When pioneers gave silent cheers
Cuz' sharp it made 'em feel..
They blessed it so much!

Welcome..are your contributions
For you, there's no substitutions
Appreciate the smooth solutions
We all approve..you're in the groove

Yes, thanks for the emery
We know your life's been rough
But rubbed wrong, made you tough.
You face distress, and all this stress,
And never say, "Enough!!"
God bless you, so much!

God bless you, so much!

Nao;-biting suspense- 555!!! Also, 555 for your Continental parody (can't get the Comment button to work again)- was my mom's favorite car in the '70s. But as her health declined she wanted a Buick Regal and then one day I came over and she had bought an Olds Achieva in a teal-like color with a rear spoiler!!! She couldn't really drive that well as she was dying and so I either drove her in my T-Bird (4.7l V-8 LS) or had my friends drive her when I was at work. The Continental will always be remembered from the '70s. Just like Caddies.

Loved this parody - don't love emery boards though. Can't use them, they make my teeth turn inside out - I can't even bear the sound of other people filing their nails! But then I'm strange like that.... 555 - that's three hands, isn't it...?

I love it! I use emery boards a lot myself, and have irritated people with the sound. It's not as irritating as the couple of times I have moved my head quickly and (or so they said) almost smothered someone with my hair. Great work, and 5s.
