The Lyrics

Got the idea from Rolling Stone's "Paint It Black"
(Paint the town black and don't you mess it all up, all up, all up, all up)
(Paint the town black and don't you mess it all up)
When'd you pay?
(Paint the town black and don't you mess it all up, all up, all up, all up)
(Paint the town black and don't you mess it all up)

Woah lordy, oh lordy, don't make such a scene,
Not the cheapest young painter that you've ever seen
I guess I'll paint it black
I'll have to grab my brush and go (The hype)

(Make the town wack and don't you mess it all up, all up, all up, all up)
(Make the town wack and don't you mess it all up)
On my way
(Make the town wack and don't you mess it all up, all up, all up, all up)
(Make the town wack and don't you mess it all up)

Now people, listen people, don't ya stiff me of my pay
Cause I'll take all your children one day*
(I dare if you do 'cause you're bunch of fools)
(You won't pay no money you're just bunch of tools.)
Well, I guess I'll paint it black
I'll have to grab my brush and go (The hype)

(Paint the town black and don't you mess it all up, all up, all up, all up)
(Paint the town black and don't you mess it all up)
When'd you pay?
(Paint the town black and don't you mess it all up, all up, all up, all up)
(Paint the town black and don't you mess it all up)

Swell
(Don't you mess it all up)
Um, when you'll pay?
(Don't you mess it all up)
I couldn't understand you
(Don't you mess it all up)
Know you mean it
(Don't you mess it all up)
Aw, just pay me, please
(Don't you mess it all up)
Why'd you trying to stiff my pay?
(Don't you mess it all up)
Aw, don't stiff me like that
(Don't you mess it all up)

(Artistry)Welllll...an interesting concept but not much follow through. It really doesn't have much sense in it at all. I've seen a lot better from you. Sorry Max. 533

(Artistry) Yea, some more variety would have been beneficial.

(Artistry) I'm gonna have to echo Agri's comments here. I didn't exactly get what this parody was about, either. Better luck next time, I guess.

(Artistry) Unfortunately there isn't much going on here buddy, you kinda tied yourself up a bit on this one.
