HAYFEVER
To the tune of
"Love Is A Many-Splendored Thing":

Hayfever is a many-splintered thang.
It's the only nose
that ever blows
in the early sprang.

It is nature's way of givin'
A reason to stop livin'.
The only thang
That makes a man a "thang."

Pollen, on a high and windy hill,
In the morning breeze,
Two lovers sneezed,
And their hearts stood still.

Hayfever is a very runny thing.
(You may think it's funny, but it'snot).
Here's looking ATCHOO!
OL' WEEPY-EYES!
(Dredicated to all my fellow allergy-sufferers.)

***

BAWL GAME
To the tune of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game":

Bawl me out to the take game,
Bawl me out to the crowd,
Buy me some nutpe and jackercracks.
I don't bare if I ever get crack.

Then it's hoot, hoot, hoot
for the rome team.
Though I adshame its a mitt,
For it's throne, Stwo, ree trikes
You're out!
In the old gall bame!

SONGS THAT NEVER MADE IT

THE FLY SONG
When you and I were young maggots, dear.

THE PARATROOPER'S LAMENT
A little-bitty tear* lemme down,
Spoiled my act on the ground.
I'm so happy I could frown
'cause a little bitty tear lemme down.
*[pronounced tare]

DACHSHUND COMMERCIAL
Get a long, little doggie,
Get along....

HOME ON THE RANGE
Overheard recently on the range:
A deer said to an antelope,
"Shh, I think I just heard a discouraging word."

PC RAP
Spock, Spock,
the baby doc,
leads a peace march
'round the block.
Around him everywhere you look,
are kids he messed-up with his book!
(Mad Magazine)

Th' fust time I seen the boll weevil

HIT HAIN'T AGONNA RAIN NO MORE
Frog a-sittin' on a lilly pad
gazin' in th sky.
Lilly pad broke
frog fell in
got water all in his eye.

Oh, it hain't agonna rain no more
Oh, it hain't agonna rain no more.
How in the heck
can I wh m' neck
when it hain't agonna rain no more?
