Parody Song Title:

"Oh, What A Ripper! It Peels The Wood"

Parody Written by:

John A. Barry

The Lyrics

Oh, what a ripper! It blew through good;
Throughout the house it goes
A horse-dung bouquet
Is wafting its way
Above and down below-ow.

Oh, what a ripper! It peels the wood,
Oh how the wind does blow.
Ain't like a rose
To any nose
As drop to the ground we go.

Oh, what a ripper! It peels the wood,
Did I say "horse bouquet"?
I grossly understate the thing;
A sulfur mine's okay-ay:
Relative to this, would smell so good.
Let's go far, far away.
Although China-bound,
He'd still smell it, our hound,
For this is rank-sniffing day.

LOL !

Thanks, JD. You know, this project gave me a blazing insight: The jaunty tunes, such as this, tend to be the easiest to parody quickly.

No matter how short the parodies, pulling off so many in the one fell swoop is a standing ovation from me, man!

What's that smell? Is that your 5's vote? ;-)
