Thread Name: 'New' verses to old songs
Subject: RE: 'New' verses to old songs
I've heard the 'Wildwood Flower' parody from Iain MacKintosh, who gave Cheech and Chong as authors and sang the verses quoted above by Gene (except that he sang 'I'm a natural blonde, my true love did declare' in the third verse), then added, to the tune of 'Tennessee Waltz'

And I was waltzing with my darling to the Tennessee Waltz
At the annual fireman's ball
And people were staring because she was wearing
A newspaper dress, and that's all

She had comic strips from her knees to her hips
Where the want ads were I can't recall
Then her dress went on fire and burnt her entire
Front page, the sports section and all
