Subject: Lyr Add: MIDDLE AGED TEENAGER (Homer and Jethro)
If this is a parody, I don't know what the original is. The tune sounds like typical early rock 'n' roll.

My transcription from a file found at WFMU. (Click for an MP3.)


MIDDLE AGED TEENAGER
As sung by Homer & Jethro.

Well, on my way to the party I decided to go.
I picked up my date with a "Go, man, go!"
It turned out the party was a high-school dance
And I showed up in my zoot-suit pants
I was a middle aged – teenager,
A middle aged – rug cutter.
I'm gonna be hip, if my hip-a don't slip-a.

Well, the band warmed up. Soon the place was alive.
Well, I grabbed my partner and begin to jive.
All of a sudden, much to my surprise,
I started achin' all over and I realized
I was a middle aged – teenager,
A middle aged – jitter-bagger.
I bunny-hopped until my arches flopped.

Well, the dance went on till a quarter o' one.
I didn't feel so good, but I sure had fun.
I intended to have myself a ball for free,
Even though my back was a-killin' me.
I was a middle aged – teenager,
A middle aged – car stripper.
Well, I'm in shock because my roll won't rock.

I was a middle aged – teenager,
A middle aged – cotton picker.
Well, my back is bent. Pass that liniment.
