Jeep wheels keep on turning
Carry me home to where I live
Singing songs about the Valley
I miss old Lisburn once again
And I think its a sin, yes
Well I heard a Lisburn MP speak about it
Well, I heard bean and gone got shut down
Well, I hope that MP will remember
A Lisburn man don’t need him around anyhow
Sweet home Lagan Valley
Where the Coffee samples are free
Sweet Home Lagan Valley
Girl, I’m coming home to you
In Lisburn town they love the governor
Now we all did what we could do
Now Javagate does not bother me
Does your conscience bother you?
Tell the truth
Sweet home Lagan Valley
Where the Coffee samples are free
Sweet Home Lagan Valley
Girl, I’m coming home to you
Here I come Lisburn City
Now Bean and Gone has got the twitters
And they’ve been known have a follower or two
Boy those coffee’s tastes so great
They pick me up when I’m feeling blue
Now how about you?
Sweet home Lagan Valley
Where the Coffee samples are free
Sweet Home Lagan Valley
Girl, I’m coming home to you
Oh sweet home baby
Where the coffee samples are free,
And the governor’s could be true,
Sweet Home Lagan Valley
Lordy Lord, I’m coming home to you Yea, yea the people’s got the answer
If I was to write a song, it would probably go like this
Posted: November 6, 2008 Filed under: Do something Now is good, Interesting, Parodies Leave a commentI do write parodies from time to time, these are relatively simple, find a topic, usually a person, find a suitable song and start changing the words to suit.
I would like to write an actual song tho, lyrics anyway i’m not the best at the musical bit, good job my wife is a song writer eh!
Anyway in the absence of actually being able to write an actual song, I really like the words of this one. I’m putting in my top 5 songs of all time.
Hope you like it!
Tenacious D Parody – Last week Simon quit the Scouts
Posted: September 26, 2008 Filed under: Funny, Network Scouts, Parodies, Scouting, Scouts Leave a commentAt long last Ive found a fitting parody for my good friend Simon Trimble.
To the tune of – Last week Kyle quit the band, by Tenacious D
Last week, Simon quit the scouts,
Now he’s joined up again, uh.
Misunderstanding, didn’t understand.
It doesn’t matter, now hes joined right by up again
A-la la la la la.
Couldn’t split up Ivor and Frank. (that’s true)
Couldn’t split up Michael and Kirsten.
That’s also true!
This is our song of exultant joy because
We only came to cook on gas.
Pitch some fuckin’ tents and cook on gas.
What we gonna do with all these Scouts?
Tie Knots!, and then we Pitch .
We’ll throw a big old Camp y’all.
And everyone is invited to the Camp.
And everyone you’re all invited to the Camp!
C’mon Simon, one time c’mon!
Scout Camp Parody – To the tune of A Duffy – Mercy, By Michael McClelland
Posted: March 27, 2008 Filed under: Parodies 1 CommentMercy- A Duffy Parody
Please, please, please
Please, please, please
Please, please, please
Please, please, please
I lead you
But you gotta do what I say
This camp’s got me on my knees
I’m begging please
Stop throwing things
I don’t know what this is
But it’s not a tent
Just for that you have to gather wood
I don’t know what you’ve done
But you can’t sleep in there
And burning I can smell
You got me begging you for mercy
Why won’t you hear me
You got me begging you for mercy
Why won’t you hear me
I said you better hear me
Now you think that I
Will pitch tents for you
But you got to understand
That you won’t get a badge
If I take you by the hand, no you won’t
I don’t know what this is
But you’ve done it wrong
Just like I knew you would
I don’t know what you did
But don’t eat this
The eggs are full of shell
You got me begging you for mercy
Why won’t you hear me
You got me begging you for mercy
Why won’t you hear me
I said you better hear
I want to live at Scout Camp, a parody of Nickleback : Rockstar
Posted: March 21, 2008 Filed under: Parodies Leave a commentIm through with paying for
Mortgages that never end
This house hasnt turned out
Quite the way I wanted it to be
(Tell me what you want)
I want a big old fire
For to cook my ribs
and a bathroom I can take a shower in
and a football pitch that big enough
for ten tents plus mine
(Yeah, so what you need)
I’ll need a … a camping permit thats got no limit
And a big green islantic with a bedroom in it
Gonna join the Queen scout crew
at Crawfordsburn Scout centreee
(Been there, done that)
I want a new scout bus full of old scarfs
My own tent pitch on the green
Somewhere between the girl scouts and
the CBSI is fine for me
(So how you gonna do it?)
I’m gonna trade this house for a tent and fire
I’d even grow my hair like Gee and change my name
[CHORUS]
‘Cause we all just wanna live at scout camp
And live in hilltop tents, lighting big old fire
The girl guides come easy and the rent comes cheap
We’ll wont be skinny ’cause all we will do is eat
And we’ll hang out in the pathfinder
In the county commissioners at the ADCs
Every good scout leader
Gonna wind up there
Every great girl guide
With her bleach blonde hair
And well…
Hey, hey, I wanna live at scoutcamp
Hey, hey, I wanna live at scoutcamp
I wanna be great like Frank without the accent
Hire eight Explorer scouts to cook all my food
Keep the fire going strong
So I can eat my meals for free
(I’ll have the quesadilla, *laughs*)
I’m gonna dress my ass
With the scouting fashion
Get a front door key to the outside washroom
Gonna date a girl guide that
love to wash my clothes for me!
(So how you gonna do it?)
I’m gonna trade this house for a tent and fire
I’d even grow my hair like Gee and change my name
‘Cause we all just wanna live at scout camp
And live in hilltop tents, lighting big old fire
The girl guides come easy and the rent comes cheap
We’ll wont be skinny ’cause all we will do is eat
And we’ll hang out in the pathfinder
In the county commissioners at the ADCs
Every good scout leader
Gonna wind up there
Every great girl guide
With her bleach blonde hair
And we’ll hide out in the leaders rooms
With the latest scouting for boys and
Today’s scouting ulster
They’ll get you anything
with a dib dib dib
Everybody’s got a
home contact on speed dial, well
Hey, hey, I wanna live at scoutcamp
I’m gonna sing those songs
from the Irish songbook
Gonna keep my food
3 feet above ground
Get washed-up girl guides to clean my clothes
Lip synch ‘the scout promise every night so I don’t get ‘itwrong
Cause we all just wanna live at scout camp
And live in hilltop tents, lighting big old fire
The girl guides come easy and the rent comes cheap
We’ll wont be skinny ’cause all we will do is eat
And we’ll hang out in the pathfinder
In the county commissioners at the ADCs
Every good scout leader
Gonna wind up there
Every great girl guide
With her bleach blonde hair
And we’ll hide out in the leaders rooms
With the latest scouting for boys and
Today’s scouting ulster
They’ll get you anything
with a dib dib dib
Everybody’s got a

Hey, hey, I wanna live at scoutcamp
Hey, hey, I wanna live at scoutcamp
