The Lyrics

About a beastly director of the musical Pirates of Penzance for the girls' school play.
We boys went over to fill numbers and add tenor and bass to the chorus, but were subjected to rantings and wailings every single time. I'm sure many
of you will empathise.
I am a fairly muddled up and rotten musical teacher.
Unsure if I am human, so presumin' I'm a wild creature.
My knowledge of musicals is a marvel that should be adored.
You students should not act like rehearsals are times to be abhorred.
I know this opera backwards, every word of every aria.
But if you don't, I'll slit your throat and post it home via courier.
I start off rather jovial but don't you start to misbehave.
As this sort of demeanour makes me meaner than a tidal wave.

I'm very good at playing the piano just a tad too fast,
So that you cannot breathe and start to wheeze after the verse is past.
In short, just flatter shamelessly, make worship of me a feature.
Cuz I'm a fairly muddled up and rotten musical teacher.

I see prolific misery after your flirting I abort,
Like cancer, I'm all over you after any hint of consort.
I shout quite maniac-ally at any possible suspects,
Who even think they can begin to mix with the opposite sex.
I can tell undoubted lies from the excuses that you offer me,
As if you've learnt the words after you churned out that cacophany!
You are so dumb it's amusing when you try to contest my law,
I bristle my neck hairs and start to scold your constantly vile form.

And I turn white like frosting if you speak when I begin to talk,
I'll gnash my teeth then slash your feet, my face gone from crimson to chalk.
In short, just flatter shamelessly, make worship of me a feature.
Cuz I'm a fairly muddled up and rotten musical teacher

Our rehearsals are shambles, a heart-attack I'll be havin' soon.
You won't listen, whether I'm being nice or like a mad monsoon.
With such unfair circumstances, where is my secretary at?
I need to tell her to sell all my shares in this play. Bury it!
You students are so retarded in learning choreography .
I swear you spend more time rehearsing notes for your geography.
Unless you want to end up in intensive care from battery,
You should just know your parts, be still and shower me with flattery.

Finally it's open night and the play is being performed.
Your voices all sound perfect from practise, maybe a bit deformed.
But who takes all the credit, laps up praise like a fat fame leecher?
It's me, the fairly muddled up and rotten musical teacher!!!

*Bashing own head against wall* I was still in a hissy over the lack of comments in previous parodies. (see http://www.amiright.com/parody/2000s/eminem151.shtml) So here's my official apology for forcing Rick D and others to comment if you don't want to or have nothing to say.

Cheers, Teddy. Obviously not as tight as Mr Rick D and his take-a-general-comment-personally attitude to voting. I will get cracking on poor wandering one within the day!

2 Ralphing Parodies on the randomizer! Wow! Both decent! 4-5-5

Amazing, I was just thinking that it would be fitting if clicking the 'Random' button resulted in only my parodies being shown, as I have been labelled 'Random' by everyone in school. Thanks for popping by!

Anytime! I oftentimes will click the randomizer several times till I find a song I know, then review it, often scathiningly {I think that's a word}. But both of yours I read were enjoyable.

SCATHININGLY...it's a word now, True Brilliance! Just like 'Yestlicate' and 'tanty'.

I think this is a wonderful parody of the song, and I can definitely relate to the message, having been under the rule of a music teacher like that to perform "The Pirates of Penzance." Oh, such a self-important drama queen he was... But anyway, this was wonderful.

It was cute but choppy. A little akward to figure out how to sing some lines because the emphasis is sometimes placed on syllables that people don't emphasize.
