Haven't posted a parody in a while.
Wish I had time to post this earlier, but here it is.

The Tin Man

Sometimes when a player's hurt
And Gurupies share the gift of gab between themselves
Some will hold and some will sell
And catch the perfect prize that waits among the shelves

But no one knows what to do with the Tin Man
Is he injured or just playing bad?
And that's the reason why he's done for the evening
So please, please don't get mad

So please believe in me
When I say that trading him is sound, sound, sound, sound
Ron Artest and Jason Terry
Tinsley's price is going down, down, down, down
Kenny Anderson is for me

But no one knows what to do with the Tin Man
Is he injured or just playing bad?
And that's the reason why he's done for the evening
So please, please don't get mad

So please believe in me
When I say that trading him is sound, sound, sound, sound
Ron Artest and Jason Terry
Tinsley's price is going down, down, down, down
Kenny Anderson is for me

But no one knows what to do with the Tin Man
Is he injured or just playing bad?
And that's the reason why he's done for the evening
So please, please don't get mad

So please believe in me

Is this a ballad or possibly a somber rap?

I remember being really high, many years ago, and
trying very hard to impress an old girlfriend with
how sensitive I was.

"Just listen to those lyrics" I said, "They are so
frikkin deep. 'OZ never did give nothin' to the
Tin Man, that he didn't, didn't already have!" You
see! The Tin Man had the biggest heart of them
all...The Wizard of Oz did not give him anything
that he didn't already have! You see what I'm
saying here?!

Old girlfriend replied, "Are you stupid or
something? That was the whole point of the bloody
movie! They all had the attributes they were
seeking. They just needed to look inside to
discover them. They just had to believe in
themselves. The Tin Man was no different from the
Scarecrow, or The Lion, I just don't see why
'America' sings all sad and sappy about the Tin
Man, but totally ignores The Scarecrow and The
Cowardly Lion. Like the Tin Man's story was more
ironic or something. Give me a break."

Me, "So I guess this means we are breaking up?
Cool, I mean, hey, baby, it'll be OK, don't you
worry none, we'll always be friends."

Hey, there was just no way I could be bothered
dating a chick who didn't get a little misty-eyed
over an America ballad
