Mom's Parodies



IT'S NOT EASY BEING GREEN

a.k.a. The Al Gore Song

(a parody of a Kermit the Frog Favorite)


It's not that easy being Green

Having to spend each day conserving energy

When I think it could be nicer having a great big airplane

Eating up enormous amounts of fuel!


It's not that easy being Green

Who wants to blend in with all the tree huggers of the world?

And people tend to think I'm not serious

Because I have such a gigantic home

That costs more then half the nation spends


But Green's what we all need to be!

Green could be cool; something I'd learn to like

And Green can saves lakes! And our oceans!

Our own lives! And our mountains!

And beautiful trees!


When Green is all that's left to be

To fill up the ozone in the sky

I just wonder why..wonder

I'll be green ...and it'll be fine

So beautiful

'Til Tipper sees how life is gonna be

Don't Go Taking My Carbs

(parody of Elton John's song “Don't Go Breaking My Heart”)


Don't go taking my carbs

(I couldn't if I tried!)

Honey whenever I'm hungry

(I know to give up that fight!)


Don't go taking my carbs

To take the weight off of me

(Honey when your clothes no longer fit)

(I know to just let you be!)


Ohhhh whhooooooo

Nobody knows it

Nobody knows

But when I was down

Krispy Kreme was in town

Right from the start

I ate a lemon tart

Whooo hooo

I ate a lemon tart


So don't go taking my carbs

(I won't go taking your carbs)

Don't go taking my

Don't go taking my

Don't go taking my CARBS!


And everyone tells us

To stop eating chocolates

What are they? Simply crazy?

When I'm a chocoholic?!!!


So you understand me,

You bring the bread in my life

You bring me cereals and pastas

You put potatoes on the side


Ohhhh whhooooooo

Nobody knows it

Nobody knows

But when I was down

Fettuccine was around

Right from the start

I ate desserts ala cart

Whooo hooo

Desserts ala cart!


So don't go taking my carbs

(I won't go taking your carbs)

Don't go taking my

Don't go taking my

Don't go taking my CARBS!

Where Do Laundry Socks Go?

(parody to the tune of Whitney Houston's “Where Do Broken Hearts Go”)


I see it all the time

I gotta get this off my mind

You see nothings been the same

Since I got all those socks from Hanes

You said you needed some more

So I bought them from the store

And the only thing I've found

Is that we still have no socks around


So here I am

And can you please tell me


(Where do laundry socks go?

After I finish up a load?

How do they disappear?

It is such a mystery!

And if somebody dries you,

Don't you think they'd find you

Somewhere in the dryer?

But they just keep hiding away from me)


I've been around enough to know

That socks don't just go

And there's just no way to explain

They just can't run away!

And all the socks we had before

Were always so much more

Then the single ones I find

After everything is dried


So here I am

And can you please tell me


(Where do laundry socks go?

After I finish up a load?

How do they disappear?

It is such a mystery!

And if somebody dries you,

Don't you think they'd find you

Somewhere in the dryer?

But they just keep hiding away from me)



[Now that I have a brand new pair

You're not going anywhere

Until I get some safety pins

To keep you together in the bins]


'Cause here I am

Nobody could tell me....


(Where do laundry socks go?

After I finish up a load?

How do they disappear?

It is such a mystery!

And if somebody dries you,

Don't you think they'd find you

Somewhere in the dryer

But they just keep hiding away from me)

(parody of the Otis Redding song "Sitting On the Dock of the Bay")

SITTING ON THE WEB AT EBAY

Sitting in the morning sun
I'll be sitting when the evening comes
Watching the bids roll in
Then I watch them as they stop again

(Sitting on the web at Ebay
Watching my money roll away
I'm just sitting on the web at Ebay
Wasting time)

I mail stuff here from Georgia
Selling all over the USA
Cleaning my garage out
Mailing overnight or maybe 3-day

(Sitting on the web at Ebay
Watching my junk get sold away
Yeah...Sitting on the web at Ebay
Wasting time)

Looks like nothings gonna change
Everything remains the same
With all the junk that I sell out
I buy more in, just more junk remains

Sitting here addicted as ever
With the greatest case of Ebay fever
Seeing the bids finally end
And I've won more stuff again

(Sitting on the web at Ebay
Watching my money roll away
Sitting on the web at Ebay
Wasting time)

If I was a writer for Saturday Night live this is a skit I would ask them to do. Imagine Kirstie Alley having a nightmare that she's gained back all her weight since being on Jenny Craig.   John Travolta appears in her dream (with slicked back hair as the guy from Grease) and sings this to her:


To the tune of "Beauty School Drop Out" from Grease:

Jenny Craig Drop Out

Your story sad to tell
A woman ne'er do well
Most mixed up, uncommitted on the block
Your future's so unclear now
What's left of your career now?
Since you've gained back all the weight that you had lost?

Angels (La la la la la la la la la)

Jenny Craig Drop Out
No "after" pictures made of you
Jenny Craig drop out
Ate too much spaghetti and yung chow too!
Well at least you tried to get it right
And started exercise
After telling all the world
You'd be made over to a smaller size

Baby get moving (Baby get moving)
Why sit here just feeling bad?
Why just be brooding? (Why just be brooding?)
Don't give up and feel so sad!

Tell your counselor the truth
And try just one more time
Maybe Jenny will welcome you
And the contracts you will sign!

Jenny Craig drop out
Hanging around the candy store
Jenny Craig drop out
It's time you asked yourself for something more

Believe you can do anything
And you are worth the time
Throw out the cookies and the cheese whiz
To find your peace of mind!

Baby don't sweat it (Baby don't sweat it)
Maybe you weren't cut out for this job
Better forget it (Better forget it)
Who'd believe they could loose weight from this slob?

Now your hips are big
Your butt is huge
The tabloids are a frenzy!
Wipe off the chocolate sauce
And run back to Jenny  (Run back to Jenny!)

Baby don't blow it
Don't put my good advice to shame
Baby you know it
Even Dr. Phil would say the same

I've spoke my peace
Now be released
I really gotta fly
Gotta be going to that soy milk shop in the sky

Jenny Craig Drop out
Go back to Jenny
Jenny Craig Drop out
Go back to Jenny


Note: Thankfully at end of skit Kirstie wakes up and is still the 140 or so pound lady she lost weight to be!

Mom's Bathroom Athem
(Ladies sing to the tune of our National Athem to all the boys in your home)

Ohhhhhhh say can you pee
Without hitting the seat?
And leave the seat down
Do I have to repeat it?!

Who's been making it wet?
Did you clearly forget?
Even though I have screamed
'Til I'm so very upset

And you just keep it up!
The seat is always up!
And you just don't care!
Like the female living here

Oh say can you just this once
Listen to me!
And put the seat down!
So that Mommy can pee!!

SEASONS OF TALK

(A paraody of the song “Seasons of Love” from the Broadway Play “RENT”)


525,600 minutes

525,000 minutes so dear

525,600 minutes

How could our phone bill

Be so high this year?


In daytime,

At night time

In afternoon

Or midnight


Our teenagers

Are talking

Or texting

And they never stop!


525,600 minutes

525,000 so hard to understand

525,600 minutes

How could someone talk so long

With a cell phone in their hand?


About his life

About her life

How they broke up

And she moved on


About how she's cute

And he said

Then she said

And they laughed


It's time to pay this thing

Since the talking never ends

Let's look at the bright side

That our children have friends


It's our kids!

We once were kids!

Remember the kids!

Measure the bill.

Seasons of talk!

Seasons of talk.


525,600 minutes

525,000 minutes so dear

525,600 minutes

How could our phone bill

Be so high this year?
