05 Jun 05 - 02:07 PM (#1500608) Subject: Lyr Add: Yob in hood (parody) From: Lanfranc Whilst driving home this afternoon, the following popped into my mind, inspired by recent headlines in the UK. Tune "The Ballad of Robin Hood" (from the 50s TV series) "Yob in hood, yob in hood, mooching down the street Yob in hood, yob in hood, Reeboks on his feet Bound to be bad, up to no good Yob in hood, yob in hood, yob in hood Inciting paranoia, they're anonymous and mean In market square or in the shopping mall Causing endless trouble on the English urban scene The authorities want to ban them all Yob in hood, yob in hood etc In what might be their school uniform, or just their fashion clothes Their faces shielded from the wind and rain They represent quite everything the adults round them loathe And so they have to be restrained Yob in hood, yob in hood etc" Could do with more work, but then ....

V2 looks as if it would scan better without "Their" before "school uniform", but there again there's always room for a couple of extra grace notes, else what is the appegiatura (sp?) for?

Incidentally, in my early days this item of clothing was referred to as 'A Pixie Hood'. If we start to use that name again, no self respecting yob will be seen dead in one! FC |
