The Lyrics

Q: What do you get when you take the old nursery rhyme “Lizzy Borden took an axe” and place it on top of the possibly as equally old “Old MacDonald”? A: This!
Lizzy Borden took an axe
Ee i ee i ouch!
And gave her mother forty whacks
Ee i ee i ouch!
Gave a whack-whack here,
And a skull-crack there
Here a whack, there a whack,
Everywhere a whack-whack
Lizzy Borden took an axe
Ee i ee i ouch!

When she saw what she had done
Ee i ee i ouch!
She gave her father forty-one
Ee i ee i ouch!
Gave a whack-whack here,
And a skull-crack there
Here a whack, there a whack,
Everywhere a whack-whack
Lizzy Borden took an axe
Ee i ee i ouch!

Sharp. As the Kingston Trio put it: "You can't chop your father up in Massachusetts. Massachusetts is a far cry from New York."

This was really axe-citing. I'm axe-cellerating the vote meter to 555. Is Lizzy part of the Axis of evil?

555 for you, don't really know a whole lot about this case, but was still funny as hell, so much more than having to sing this awful( the original) song in first grade.

Thanx everyone, this one-classic-over-another-genre is new territory for me so I went out on an edge with this one, one could say.

For Red Ant and others: Info about the legend of Lizzy Borden are (temporarily?) available here: http://www.carlhose.com/lizzyborden.htm

Another really funny one - thanks taylro for bringing this to my attention, if you hadn't left your negative comment I wouldn't have known about this one. Horses for courses as they say.

Now this is what i'm talking about, a horror/slasher themed parody. I love this kind of song. My favourite musicals are Little Shop Of Horrors and Sweeney Todd. Ya know I have my own Audrey II plant.
