Thread Name: Lyr Add: parodies sung by Homer and Jethro
Subject: Lyr Add: FRIEDA ON THE FREEWAY (Homer and Jethro)
If this is a parody, I don't recognize the original. Any ideas? I made this transcription from a recording on Spotify:


FRIEDA ON THE FREEWAY
As sung by Homer & Jethro on "The Very Best Of" (2010)

SPOKEN: Frieda 'n' me was to marry, but that's all in the past.
I thought she was follerin' close behind, but I guess I driv' too fast.

CHORUS: I lost Frieda on the freeway; now she'll never be my bride.
I saw her twice today, goin' the other way, had a look of panic in her eye.

She drove all the way from Texas, and I met her at the edge of town.
I was gonna lead her here to our new home that I'd gotten for nothin' down.

We were drivin' along so happy; then it happened right before my eyes.
She pulled up beside to throw me a kiss when the lane she was in turned right. CHORUS

If I live to be a hundred, I'll remember her look of surprise.
As she disappeared quickly down the ramp and slowly she waved goodbye.

I ride all day on the freeway, and I'll wave when Frieda goes by
There's never been such a driving bug since the very beginning of time. CHORUS
