The Lyrics
Lest any of my family or friends read this parody, it is a fictitious piece of nonsense - truly
All around me there are chewed-up slippers
bits of flippers, torn-off zippers
And she sits there with her tail-a-wagging
tongue out, panting - eyes enchanting
Try to scold her, but she cannot follow
no expression, no expression
Cannot buy new slippers 'til tomorrow
have to borrow, have to borrow
And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad
coz even though she's loopy
she's the best pet that I've had
I find it hard to tame her
coz she isn't very smart
I kinda find her cute though
even when she's been a
bad girl
bad girl
bad girl
bad girl
She's been with me for a year tomorrow
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
She can give me joy but also sorrow
Sit, girl - Lie down! - Heel - Roll Over!
When I ex-ercise her she keeps tugging
hates her collar, hates her collar
Sure I love her but she's so expensive
costs me dollars, costs me dollars
And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad
coz even when she's growling
she's the best friend that I've had
I find it hard to feed her
coz she's fussy with her food
but still I like to stroke her
even when she's been a
bad girl
bad girl
bad girl
bad girl
And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad
coz she's a pure-bred bitch
but she's the best wife that I've had
We married last November
'though my kids were unimpressed
They thought she was a hussey
but I've always gone for
bad girls
bad girls
bad girls
bad girls
bits of flippers, torn-off zippers
And she sits there with her tail-a-wagging
tongue out, panting - eyes enchanting
Try to scold her, but she cannot follow
no expression, no expression
Cannot buy new slippers 'til tomorrow
have to borrow, have to borrow
And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad
coz even though she's loopy
she's the best pet that I've had
I find it hard to tame her
coz she isn't very smart
I kinda find her cute though
even when she's been a
bad girl
bad girl
bad girl
bad girl
She's been with me for a year tomorrow
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
She can give me joy but also sorrow
Sit, girl - Lie down! - Heel - Roll Over!
When I ex-ercise her she keeps tugging
hates her collar, hates her collar
Sure I love her but she's so expensive
costs me dollars, costs me dollars
And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad
coz even when she's growling
she's the best friend that I've had
I find it hard to feed her
coz she's fussy with her food
but still I like to stroke her
even when she's been a
bad girl
bad girl
bad girl
bad girl
And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad
coz she's a pure-bred bitch
but she's the best wife that I've had
We married last November
'though my kids were unimpressed
They thought she was a hussey
but I've always gone for
bad girls
bad girls
bad girls
bad girls

Another sweet tail...er "tale" :-)
Doggone funny, Stuart.
I can TOTALLY realate! We have a long coated Chihuahua and like that old nursery rhyme when she is good she is very very good but when she is bad she is HORRID!!! 555!!!!
There I was, labouring away, trying not to give away the masterful stroke-of-genius twist in the final verse, but I didn't make it interesting enough for anyone to actually reach the final verse - so NOW I have to explain to people how brilliant I was - how humiliating
thanks Phil, thanks John, thanks Cookie
thanks Phil, thanks John, thanks Cookie
You are truly a spell-binding genius! For a minute I thought it was a tribute to me, you sweetie!
Dammit, Ash! How do you ALWAYS steal my comments!!!
Oh Stuart I am a total IDIOT!!! I read the whoel thing but didn't catch it. You may as well just color me stupid! :( Excellent work by the way. You dirty old man! ;)
(psst Ash...maybe ease up on the "spell-binding" bit * wink* - oh woops, that was my word)
why thankyou Ash! you're a sweetie yourself!
why thankyou Ash! you're a sweetie yourself!
why Arwen and Cookie!!!...you guys came ALL the way over here just to appreciate this little ole thing - you shouldn't have!!
thankyou SOOOOO much!!
(psst! where's Jeff??)
thankyou SOOOOO much!!
(psst! where's Jeff??)
All I can say is my lord Cookie learn how to spell check!
I think you made him cry with your horrifyingly effective guilt trip...er...I mean...Light hearted comment on TOTTM.
Arwen, please! I would NEVER, repeat NEVER, resort to such measures
I'm offended :-(
I'm offended :-(
Nothin' wrong with a little doggy now and then!
Well, I was browsing todays songs for no reason, certainly not because of anything I read on the messageboard, and found this one hilarious! You are one spell-bindingly clever wizard!
Jeff! Imagine the odds! I'm so flattered by all this sudden attention, I need a lie-down (and so does my wife)..............thanks Johnny for reading right thru - knew I could count on you :-)
That was really good, Stuart!
thanks Pippin! :-)
No need to explain it to me, Stu...that was genius. I kinda expected a twist, but you held off til the end...fab! 555
good on you Kristof - I saw an opportunity for sympathy and I milked it - as any TOTALLY UNAPPRECIATED GENIUS would :-)
Very good one, Stuart....funny! 5's
Oh, kapooey. I just finished my 'Bad Girl' and searched Tears for Fear to see what year they wrote the song. Seems like you beat me to it, Stu, and with a much better slant on the title! 455
thanks Luke - * sees 4 for pacing * - grrrrrrrrr....
What an amazing ending... I never seen that coming!!!! Stu you are such a bad girl...
(ABC3-B) Very original...especially the ending! What were you smoking? Nah, I'm just kidding. Well done.
(ABC3) Kinda creepy!
(ABC3B) lol, This reminds me a my first attempt at "Supercali...", which was never completed beyond the first verse. It was probably too dirty even for whatfreaks (which closes tomorrow BTW). Way to reign in the rauch and tame this puppy down, 'cause a rejection would have been humiliating (did I get enough puns in my comment? ;-))
LOL. And "the best wife you've had"? Just how many have there been? :-)
(ABC) WOOF pant pant pant
i have a shi-tzu who chews the stairs can identify with this song
I'm another dog owner who can relate, very well done!
(ABC3-B) Wait a minute...you married your dog???? I hope she gives you some nice pups, you perv. :-)
(ABC-B) You know I loved this first time around, Stu; and it probably would have got points from me if I wasn't so...er...ahem :-(
