I could write a blog. I have thoughts.

Life at the library, adventures with friends and other hysterics...

Goodbye To Your Old Hold - Parody #1


Yay! Our first parody!




"Goodbye To Your Old Hold"
Sung to the tune of "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" by Elton John
Written by CK

When are you gonna come down
When are you going to land
You need to pick up your hold
You should listen to me, old man

You know we can’t hold it forever
You didn’t sign up for that
It’s not a present for you to never open
This book’s too young to be a doormat.

So goodbye to your old hold
Where the books of society dwell
You can’t expect it to wait there
It’s going back to the shelf

Back to the top shelf on the right
Next to the one on self-help
Oh it’s finally time for it to go
Beyond the blonde hold shelf

What did you think we’d do with it
Just let it sit and wait
It’d take you a couple of seconds to swing by
To check it out and head for the gate

Maybe you’ll get a replacement
There’s plenty like it to be found
But if you ain’t got a penny
You know we’ll always be around

So goodbye to your old hold
Where the books of society dwell
You can’t expect it to wait there
It’s going back to the shelf

Back to the top shelf on the right
Next to the one on self-help
Oh it’s finally time for it to go
Beyond the blonde hold shelf





Original Lyrics - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - Elton John

When are you gonna come down
When are you going to land
I should have stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man

You know you can't hold me forever
I didn't sign up with you
I'm not a present for your friends to open
This boy's too young to be singing, the blues

So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough

Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road

What do you think you'll do then
I bet that'll shoot down your plane
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
To set you on your feet again

Maybe you'll get a replacement
There's plenty like me to be found
Mongrels who ain't got a penny
Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground

So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough

Back to the howling old owl in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
