The Lyrics

Random topic: Counterfeiters :-)
You start your print press up,
You put print plate down,
You make some brand new bills,
And you hang them to dry out.
You make the hokey money,
and you spend it all around.
It's gonna turn about.

You start your lemon up,
You try to leave the town,
You hear the sirens blaring,
And they catch you peeling out.
You made the hokey money,
and you spent it all around.
It's gonna turn about.

You lean against the car,
You spread your arms right out,
They throw your butt in jail,
And no one can bail you out,
You made the hokey money,
and you spent it all around.
It's gonna turn about.

You hear your case come up,
You see the jury frown,
Your verdict has been read,
And you hear the gavel pound.
You made the hokey money,
and you spent it all around.
It's gonna turn about.

You see your prison cell,
You begin to pout,
You're convicted of the crime,
And in 30 you'll be out.
You made the hokey money,
and you spent it all around.
This is your turn about.

Dang - *I* was gonna write a song about counterfeiters to the tune of the Hokey Pokey. Heh heh. Fave line: "You start your lemon up." Extremely original concept, Scathe. You have the right to remain hokey.

Very funny! They should do this to the rascals who make the "funny fives" here in Peru -- 5-sol coins, that is. The real ones are worth about $1.50 and will buy about $3 worth of stuff.--MM

(ABC3) I was wondering how I missed this one: it was posted the day before my first parody was. Great stuff, Scathe, one of the best traditionals I've read. 555.

(ABC3H) See above. Masterful combining of silly song with serious subject, while creating some great laughs.
