I'm looking for the lyrics of a parody of Only Remembered. The one scrap of a line I can remember is "barely remembered". Can anyone please help me with this?

Dick Greenhaus posted the below ten years back.

Soaring from earth like a fly in molasses
Taken aloft like a slug on the wing;
Seen only dimly through mists as time passes
Where are the words I am trying to sing?
      
    Vaguely remembered, almost remembered
    Vaguely remembered from what I have sung;
    La la la la la la la la la la-la
    Vaguely remembered from what I have sung.

Let's keep this tread refreshed once every 23 hours or so--at least for a few days.

When I was performing with Margaret Nelson we would sing Only Remembered once in awhile at the end of a show. Margaret liked the song more than I did, so I made up a crass chorus, which I'd sing in the car once in awhile:

Merely dismembered, Merely dismembered,
Merely dismembered for what he has done,
Merely dismembered, merely dismembered,
Merely dismembered and cut up for fun.

Not the same parody you were looking for. But I'm easily amused. And no, I do not advocate dismemberment of any living creature.
