The Lyrics
I started writin' one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
I found Amiright and now I'm online
I wrote a bunch of stuff, some happy some sad
And the voters said "Is that the best you have"?
Chorus:
You write tons of songs, whadaya get?
A few measly votes, but I got no regret
I won't be quittin cause I got more to say
Votes or not, I won't go away
Wrote one morning it was drizzle and rain
Songs from the 70's are mostly my game
In that regard, I'm like William Tong--
We both like those 70's songs
I don't write vulgar, I don't write crap
Some folks do, and I don't read that
I wrote one parody and got on a roll
And now Amiright has a place in my soul
(Repeat Chorus)
I found Amiright and now I'm online
I wrote a bunch of stuff, some happy some sad
And the voters said "Is that the best you have"?
Chorus:
You write tons of songs, whadaya get?
A few measly votes, but I got no regret
I won't be quittin cause I got more to say
Votes or not, I won't go away
Wrote one morning it was drizzle and rain
Songs from the 70's are mostly my game
In that regard, I'm like William Tong--
We both like those 70's songs
I don't write vulgar, I don't write crap
Some folks do, and I don't read that
I wrote one parody and got on a roll
And now Amiright has a place in my soul
(Repeat Chorus)

Very good parody, Royce, but the most humorous part might be your comparison of yourself to Will Tong.
