Verse and then a Chorus¶
TTTO “Planet with a Forest” by Brooke Lunderville
Dear audience, have you put down your coffee
Are you sitting down, are you calm?
For I must announce an exciting discovery
Of lyrics for this CD-ROM
It’s a verse and – then a chorus!
See I told you - exciting and new
And not just any old chorus
Like the last three hundred and seventy two
I know what you’re thinking, this is all so familiar
They just wrote some new words to the score
But I think when you’ve heard my next startling disclosure
You’ll know it’s not what you heard before
There’s some changes – in the chorus
It has hastily-made wooden rhymes
And friends, you’re not gonna believe this –
I have yet to commit some more crimes
In that verse – that has a chorus
It’s as novel as novel can be
It’s not just any old chorus
Like the last three hundred and seventy three!
You know, I am starting to have my suspicions
That we’re not in a new parody
Though the lyrics we had, they were just downloaded
The tune – well it begs to be free
Of the verse – and then a chorus
Who could ask for anything more
And it’s not just any old chorus
Like the last three hundred and seventy four
It’s a verse – and then a chorus
Proving that novelty thrives
It’s not just any old chorus
Like the last three hundred and seventy five
It’s a verse – and then a chorus
I’m just throwing one more to the mix
And not just any old chorus
Like the last three hundred and seventy six
It’s a verse – and then a chorus
Now this one is totally mine
It’s not just any old chorus
Like the last thirteen, times twenty nine
It’s a verse – and then a chorus
You see it’s determined by fate
To be not any old chorus
Like the last three hundred and seventy eight
It’s a verse – and then a chorus
So delicious you will want to dine
It’s not just any old chorus
Like the last three hundred and seventy nine
It’s a verse – and then a chorus
If I got here, I should be a hero
For it’s not any old chorus
Like the last three hundred and eighty – and zero?
It’s a verse – and then a chorus
Though I know you all wish I were done
For it’s not any old chorus
Like the last three hundred and eighty one
It’s a verse – and then a chorus
Now this should be sung by you too –
It’s not just any old chorus
Like the last three hundred and eighty two
It’s a verse – and then a chorus
Though it nowhere should mention a tree
It’s not just any old chorus
Like the last three hundred and eighty three
It’s a verse – and then a chorus
And you surely can’t call this a bore
It’s not just any old chorus
Like the last three hundred and eighty four
It’s a verse – and then a chorus
It’s a wonder I’ve made it alive
Since it’s not any old chorus
Like the last three hundred and eighty five
It’s a verse – and then a chorus
I see nothing that’s wrong here to fix
It’s not just any old chorus
Like the last three hundred and eighty six
It’s a verse – and then a chorus
Like Spinal Tap, it goes up to eleven
And not just any old chorus
Like the last three hundred and eighty seven
It’s a verse – and then a chorus
Though by now I’ve incurred all your hate
Though it’s not any old chorus
Like the last three hundred and eighty eight
