Nonserviam - A parody (actually 2)

After much consternation at Amy Winehouse's great Grammy coup, I decided to come up with my own "No! No! No!" song...

Mama asked me to sweep this floor up
But I say, "No! No! No!"
Yes, it's turning black
Crayons fell out of the pack
As we all know know know
I ain't got the time
But for 20 minutes I'll whine
You think I've gotta clean this mess up
but I want to go go go

I'd rather go outside and play
It's finally not a rainy day
Cause there's nothing
there's NOTHIN' I want more
Than to roam about and play star wars

I didn't finish up my math
But I know I could do it in a flash

Mama asked me to tidy the family room
but I say, "No! No! No!"
Yes it's a briar patch
through which I can't cut a path
As we all know, know know
I ain't got the time
I'd rather read Red Wall -that book is mine
Daddy yells, "Clean up this room now!"
I'll do it slow, slow, slow

Father says, "Why do you think you here?"
I said, "I caused my parents tears..."
I'm gonna, I'm gonna try to be good
so I will check my chores and get in gear
He said, "I just think you've confessed,
Get on out there, pray hard, do your best!"

They tried to make me stop the movie
But I said, "No! No! No!"
Yes the pups are on attack
and the food is in the sack
As we all know know know

I don't ever wanna slack again
Nonserviam is for the condemned
I'm not gonna fuss cry or pout
"As you wish!" is what love's about!!

It's not just my pride
It's just til these urges subside

I guess I missed cleanin' the hallway
Uh oh... no! no! no!
Yes I'm sidetracked
but here are the broom and sack
Oh! I know! know! know!

My siblings need my time
and if my Daddy says, "It's time!"
We all get to go play outside
So here we go! go! go!

@@@@@@ Now, the parents' version @@@@@@

They want to hear another story
but I say, "No! No! No!"
Sleepiness attacks ' cause the sky has turned to black
To bed you go go go
I ain't got the time
since House MD is on at nine
I know it's too bad for you, oh yes I know know know

I'd rather hang out with your Dad
After hours... ain't that sad
Cause there's nothing
There's nothing quite as cool
As the end of the day if you homeschool

I didn't have time to present the class
But I know for sure that you will you will pass

They tried to make me play some baseball
But I said, "No! No! No!"
Yes the weather's fine but I'm tired outta my mind
Dontcha know know know
I ain't got the time and Daddy thinks that's fine
Think I'll cook some lunch now
Huh... here I go go go

Then Father said, "I know why you're here"
I said, "Yeah... you get the idea.
I look at them, look at them and don't see Christ
so I divert myself by late computing nights."
He said, "I think you'd best get more rest
oh yeah that's a sin it's called SLEEP DEP!"

They tried to get me to make pancakes
but I said, "No! No! No!"
You know my mood is black, there are rice crispies in the sack
as you all know know know

I don't ever wanna slack again
Nonserviam is for the condemned
I'm not gonna huff around, then laze about
"As you wish!" is what love's about!!

It's not just my pride
It's just I haven't hit my stride

The doctor says get some sleep now
But I say no no no!
Yes I need the slumber but I have this info hunger
as we all know know know
I ain't got the time
But if my Hubby thinks it's fine
He's saying let's go get sleep now
so here I go go go

g'nite!
