Thread Name: Help: Folk Parodies in 2001
Subject: RE: Help: Folk Parodies in 2001
Bill K, do you have the Allan Sherman lyrics to "One-ton Tomato?" In this thread, several people discussed that parody, but for the most part all anyone knew was the refrain. A couple of us wrote lyrics to fit the "Guantanamera" verses to go with the "One-ton Tomato" refrain, because no one could come up with the "original" parody.

I'd love to hear Sherman's lyrics, 'cause he writes hilarious stuff (e.g., "Cockeyed and Muscle-bound Molly Malone").
