Read Honey - Parody #18

Read Honey

Written by CK

To the tune of “Lean on Me” by Bill Withers

Sometimes in our lives we all have pain

We all have sorrow

But if we are wise

We know there’s books that we can borrow

Read honey, when you’re not strong

Books can be your friend

They’ll help you carry on

For it won’t be long

Til they’re gonna need

Somebody to read them

Please go take a ride

To the library where you can borrow

Lots of books that fill all of your needs

That you won’t let show

Just call a librarian, when you need a hand

They all know just where to find them

You just might have a subject that they understand

They all know just where to find them

Read honey, when you’re not strong

Books can be your friend

They’ll help you carry on

For it won’t be long

Til they’re gonna need

Somebody to read them

Just call a librarian, when you need a hand

They all know just where to find them

You just might have a subject that they understand

They all know just where to find them

If you have a load you have to bear

That you can’t carry

There are plastic bags

For your borrowed

Feel free to take one (take one)

If you need some help (take one) take one uh huh (take one)

If you need some help (take one)

If you ever need some help (take one)

Take one (take one) take one (take one) take one (take one) if you need some help

(Take one) Take one (take one) take one (take one) take one (take one)

Lean on Me - Original Lyrics

Sometimes in our lives we all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow

Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

Please swallow your pride
If I have faith you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you won't let show

You just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on

Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on

You just call on me brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on

If there is a load you have to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load

If you just call me (call me)

If you need a friend (call me) call me uh huh(call me) if you need a friend (call me)
If you ever need a friend (call me)

Call me (call me) call me (call me) call me
(Call me) call me (call me) if you need a friend
(Call me) call me (call me) call me (call me) call me (call me) call me (call me)

and yes, the title of this parody does make me think of Karen Walker.

Spooky - Parody #17

The gang's back at it.

Decided to take a break for the holidays...it turned into a bit more extended than planned but now we're back.


















Spooky 
Written by TT
To the tune of "Spooky" by Atlanta Rhythm Section 
(and a bunch of other different artists)

You call in the evening, asking if your overdues are renewable
I try to look you up, ask if you have your card number available
At first you say “No,” you say, “It’s nowhere in sight”
And then you stop and say, “Alright”
Work is kinda crazy with a spooky old dude like you.

You always keep me guessing, I can’t figure out exactly what you’re saying
You cover the phone, tell someone “This ain’t the time for you to bother me, playing!”
I get confused, I don’t know what’s going on,
And then you’re back, you say, “Carry on.”
Work is kinda crazy with a spooky old dude like you.
Spooky! Spooky! Yeah – yeah!

If you decide you’re going to stop harassing me with all your phone calls
I’d be so pleased, I will go jumping up and down through library halls
Just like a ghost, you’ve been a’hauntin’ my dreams,
Please don’t call or come in on Halloween
Work is kinda crazy with a spooky old dude like you!

Ah, Spooky! Yeah!!!



Spooky - Original Lyrics

In the cool of the evenin' when ev'rything is gettin' kind of groovy
I call you up and ask you if you'd like to go with me and see a movie
First you say "No", you've got some plans for the night
And then you stop, and say, "All right"
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you.

You always keep me guessin', I never seem to know what you are thinkin'
And if some fellow looks at you, it's for sure your little eye will be a-winkin'
I get confused, 'cause I don't know where I stand
And then you smile, and hold my hand
Love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you
Spooky! Spooky! Yeah - yeah

If you decide someday to stop this little game that you are playin'
I'm gonna tell you all that my heart's been a-dyin' to be sayin'
Just like a ghost, you've been a-hauntin' my dreams
So I'll propose... on Halloween.
Baby, love is kinda crazy with a spooky little girl like you

Ah, spooky, yeah-uh!






Stay tuned on Wednesday's for more library parody fun.

Hopefully.
