Verdi and Wagner delighted the crowds
With their highly original sound.
The pianos they played are still working,
But they’re both six feet underground.
*It’s been one week since we got to see
Cheatin’ lovers and cousins that marry
Five days since they had the show
With the hermaphrodite, the slut and the crack ho
Now **** had a rival, an evil-looking man,
Called Two-Ton Ted from Teddington and he drove the baker’s van.
He tempted her with his treacle tarts and his tasty wholemeal bread,
And when she seen the size of his hot meat pies it very near turned her head.
She nearly swooned at his macaroon and he said, “If you treat me right,
You’ll have hot rolls every morning and crumpets every night.”
He knew once she sampled his layer cake he’d have his wicked way,
And all **** had to offer was a pint of milk a day.
While married to Gus she met Gropius
and soon she was swinging with Walter.
Gus died and her terdrops were copius
she cried all the way to the altar.
But he would work late at the Bauhuas
and only came home now and then.
She said “Vat am I running, a chowhouse?
It’s time to change partners again!”
“Now, it’s kind’a hard to find
But it’ll altercate your mind
If you happen to go the right way
You take Slumgullion Pass
And don’t stop for no gas
Until you get yourself to Al’s Café.”
I can’t remember the title of Winterhawk’s, but I think it was done by the “Convoy” guy, C. W. McCall.
Try this one:
Each one was wearing running shoes upon the ghostly deck
And each one had a cotton sweater wrapped around his neck
They all held out their credit cards and tried in vain to buy
But all the stores were shuttered to the _______ __ ___ ___.

That’s pretty funny, but my guess is purely instinctual, and I have no idea who the artist is:
Ghost Writers In the Sky?
I’m not sure if Im entitled, based on the above, but here’s one anyway:
My account is overdrawn;
My car slid down the hill;
I’ve given up, I’ve got no more to give.
My beagle bit the vet,
And my daughter’s on the Pill,
And my ficus plant has lost the will to live.
winterhawk’s is Comin’ Back for More by C.W. McCall (real name Bill Fries).
Try this:
It stunts their mental growth
And makes it hard to find
A future livelihood
Or others of their kind
The marching band it seems
The voyeurs in the stands
The refs and both the teams
Are all the raving fans for

kaylasdad, your instincts are right on the money. The song is called “Ghost Yuppies in the Sky” by Tom Paxton. And it’s hilarious.
Here’s another sample:
*The herd came down Columbus for as far as I could see
All the men were wearing Polo, and the women wore Esprit
Each Yuppie had a Walkman, and as each one passed me by
I saw their sad expressions, and I heard their mournful cry:
“Condos for sale – condos to buy”
for Ghost Yuppies in the sky[\i]
