"Can't Do Plumbin', Sink's A Fountain"

Parody Written by:

Kristof Robertson

The Lyrics

A little singalong about my frankly non-existant DIY skills
Can't do plumbin', sink's a fountain, coz I'm dumb
Can't do plumbin', sink's a fountain, coz I'm dumb
Fix the tap, I thought I oughtta
Now the basement's fulla water
Can't do plumbin', sink's a fountain, coz I'm dumb!

I was puttin' up a shelf, took out a wall
I was puttin' up a shelf, took out a wall
Tho' my life's all glitz and glamour
Boy, I'm hopeless with a hammer
I was puttin' up a shelf, took out a wall!

Tried rewire-in' my kitchen, house burned down
Tried rewire-in' my kitchen, house burned down
Tried rewire-in' my kitchen
All the firemen are bitchin'
And they're tryin' hard to run me outta town!

In my mind I am the world's best handyman
So I undertake repairs without a plan
My intentions always noble
But my pad looks like Chernobyl
Or a post-war version of Afghanistan!

Can't do plumbin', sink's a fountain, coz I'm dumb
Can't do plumbin', sink's a fountain, coz I'm dumb
Well I shouldn't be allow-ed
It's been 3 weeks since I've showered
Can't do plumbin', sink's a fountain, coz I'm dumb
Cha cha cha!

There's nothing better than tearing down a house, when that's what you set out to do in the first place. Very nice Kristof (the Tool Man) Robertson.

Well, Kristof, I finally got around to coming 'round to this parody and I like it. 5's...BTW, here in Am-merr-iker we don't say some one is "dumb" when they can't do something. I believe the correct phrase might be "A home-repair/home-improvement challenged Individual" - that way you can maintain your self-esteem even when you do stuff that is dumb...

ROFL! Though I must admit I find it hard to understand how it is that some people make such horrendous DIY cock-ups: I mean, it ain't exactly rocket science.

Well, it's pretty obvious that you're going to win this one, and even though I wish it were me, it's pretty apparent why it isn't, what with songs like this one to contend against. Nice Work!
