I had the 'bright idea' that maybe if I used na existing tune as a template then took it from there it might give me a better understanding of how it all works. Now I'll probably be lynched for this. But I took outlandish knight and kinda...tweaked it. Would you say it was a parody, pastiche or something else? ------ Margaret she sits with her i-phone a-tweeting Ma ba and the lilly ba When she heard a car with his hi-fi a-booming On the very first morning of May  "Oh I wish that I could ride in that car I hear growling" And it's ma ba and the lilly ba "And had that young man's number to text" On the very first morning of May  Well the lady she had these words scarce spoke And it's ma ba and the lilly ba When by her street corner the man come a-strutting On the very first morning of May  "Oh strange it is, oh hot young woman" And it's ma ba and the lilly ba " I can scarce use my phone since I hear you a-calling On the very first morning of May"  "Go fetch you the card from your father's table Deliver it unto me And the fastest car in your father's garage if your able The keys give unto me"  So they've drove off the shiny, black car And she's turned up the stereo grey And they crusied till they come to the broad sea shore Just three hours before it was day  "Get out, get out of the car," he says "And deliver it unto me For it's six pretty girls I have drowned here And the seventh one you shall be"  "Get out, get out from the car," she says "And come and kiss me For if I'm about to die I want to this my last action to be"  So he's got out the car with a sigh And he's came closer to she And she shoved him in the middle so small And tumbled him all down in the sea  Sometimes he sank, sometimes he swam And it's ma ba and the lilly ba "Oh help, oh help, oh my pretty mistress Or drowned I shall be"  "Lie there, lie there oh you false young man Lie there instead of me For I'll call the police to deal with you And to prison they'll send thee"
