Lyrics - Making up your own lyrics for popular songs

[moldie]

I was watching "Band of Brothers" on the History channel the other night when they were singing a spin-off of glory glory haleluja (serious spelling error). It was Glory, Glory, What a hell of a way to die; He ain't gonna jump no more." About a paratrooper who got tangled in his line and died falling. I decided to change a few of the lyrics around to make it about shooting dope, it's a decent anthem to hum to yourself while cooking up:

Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die!
Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die!
Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die!
He aint gonna shoot no more

The blood shot back into the rig; The dope into his vein.
His eyes rolled back into his head andthere was no more pain
those low eyelids became his shroud, he hurtled to the floor
He aint gonna shoot no more

Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die!
Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die!
Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die!
He aint gonna shoot no more

His face turned blue, his breath was weak, he let out one last sigh
And all his pals were heard to say, "A hell of a way to die!"
He lay there rolling round in the welter of his gore
He ain't gonna shoot no more

I'd like to see what anyone else can come up with based on this chorus, rhyme, and meter. The possibilities are limitless.

Wow! Your post, mescaline-like, brought back to me a memory I haven't thought of in many years. There's a chorus that goes something like:


They scraped him of the tarmac like a blob of strawberry jam


They scraped him of the tarmac like a blob of strawberry jam


They scraped him of the tarmac like a blob of strawberry jam


But his soul goes marching on.
