A stellar first contribution by staff writer
Shannon Sparkwell, this song is a caution to monied men everywhere.
Thankfully, impoverished folk such as my own good self can still sleep easy
in our park benches.
These lyrics are nicely mirrored, and in the fine tradition of the last several parodies, center around a truly awful relationship. Apparently terrible relationships are just the sort of thing to give us a good chortle here at the World Wide Will. We hope you're the same way. |

Paycheck |
Gotta Get Thru This |

|
If only I can get through this Just fake through this If only I can get through this I just gotta get some cash I gotta get a paycheck, I really need a paycheck. I gotta fake it, gotta fake it, gotta fake it thru. Now I don't have a paycheck, No longer any paycheck, We broke up, now how am I supposed to buy those shoes? Give me just a dollar and I'll be all right Surely single digits wouldn't break your life How about 5 dollars and I'll be ok. Show a little green and that will be just right. When your wallet's full, might cause you pain, I'll close my eyes and hold out my hand, When will I get the chance to see Ben Franklin? I pretend your money is all mine, Then the real truth hits me from behind. Let's sign a contract that binds. If only I can get through this If only I can fake through this If only I can get through this Nod, you're gonna help me get through this If I only had a paycheck, If you were my paycheck I'd smile at you, I'd ask and you'd buy my food. Said, I'll ask for a loan then Smile my charming fake grin And run away to Ireland or Cancun. Give me till tomorrow and I'll pay you back. Have a little mercy and I'll make you laugh Give me till tonight and you will be repaid Unless I run off and then you lose my track. Boy, what I'm running is a game, It's fun when you learn to play. Just wink one pretty eye and say "I like you", Don't worry, you can't turn me in, This trick is one I'll pull again, Heck! It's no surprise. If only I can get through this If only I can fake through this If only I can get through this Nod, you're gonna help me get through this If I only had a paycheck I really need a paycheck I gotta fake, gotta fake it, gotta fake it through |

If only I could get through this I just gotta get through this If only I could get through this I just gotta get through this I gotta get through this I gotta get through this I gotta make, gonna make it, gonna make it through Said I'm gonna get through this I'm gonna get through this I gotta take, gotta take my mind off you Give me just a second and I'll be all right Surely one more moment couldn't break my heart Give me 'til tomorrow then I'll be okay Just another day and then I'll hold you tight When your love is pouring like the rain I close my eyes and it's gone again When will I get the chance to say I love you I pretend that you're already mine That my heart ain't breaking every time I look into your eyes If only I could get through this If only I could get through this If only I could get through this God, God gotta help me get through this I gotta get through this I gotta get through this I gotta make, gonna make it, gonna make it through Said I'm gonna get through this I'm gonna get through this I gotta take, gotta take my mind off you Give me just a second and I'll be all right Surely one more moment couldn't break my heart Give me 'til tomorrow then I'll be okay Just another day and then I'll hold you tight When your love is pouring like the rain I close my eyes and it it's gone again When will I get the chance to say I love you I pretend that you're already mine That my heart ain't breaking every time I look into your eyes If only I could get through this If only I could get through this If only I could get through this God, God gotta help me get through this I gotta get through this I gotta get through this I gotta make, gonna make it, gonna make it through |
