WORST IN US HISTORY - A Parody - Don Caron - Parody Project



Imagine that your least favorite president (or representative, or senator, or random person) was an inanimate object ... or say, a bug. What might you imagine you would do to them to express your frustration? Parody of composer, songwriter Mike Batt's "If You Were a Sailboat." (Original sung by Katie Melua)

Executive Producers for Parody Project: Don Caron and Jerry Pender


PARODY LYRICS

If you were a student I would fail you.
If you were a piece of wood I’d nail you to the floor.
If you were a sailboat I would sink you far off shore.

If you were in jail I would not spring you.
If you were a telephone your ring would be ignored.
If you were in pain I’d bring you lemon for your sore.

If you think this sounds like hate,
let me say what you create
is far more hateful than this song.
We took a chance on trusting you.
You took a stance that’s clearly wrong.

If you were a race car I would roll you.
If you were a toll bridge I would troll you all day long.
If you were a half note I would throw away the song.

If you were a meal I’d choose starvation.
If you were heaven I’d choose damnation for myself.
If you were a book I’d never take you from the shelf.

If you think this sounds like hate,
let me say what you create
is far more hateful than this song.
We took a chance on trusting you.
You took a stance that’s deadly wrong.

If you were water I would flush you.
If you were a tin can I would crush you just for fun.
if you were an ice cube I would slush you in the sun.

If you were a bug I think i’d squish you.
If you were a wishing well I'd wish you to be poor.
But since you’re you I hope to hear of you no more.
But since you’re you I hope to hear of you no more.

Too lazy to do research at this late hour, but. (Wow, is that a lame excuse or what?)

CAN CONVICTED FELONS VOTE? Asking for millions of Americans.

I went to dinner last night with a couple of like-minded friends, should have been a peaceful break, but you can imagine what we talked about. At least the food was very good. *sigh*
