Worst Song Lyrics Ever...

IJReilly beat me to it with McArthur Park but I raise him with this one:

Aaron Carter
The Clapping Song

3, 6, 9
The goose drank wine
The monkey chew tobacco on the streetcar line
The line broke, the monkey got choked
And they all went to heaven in a little rowboat

Clap Pat - Clap Pat - Clap Pat - Clap Slap
Clap Pat! Clap your hand...
Pat it on your partner hand... right hand
Clap Pat! Clap your hand...
Cross it with your left arm
Pat your partner left palm
Clap Pat! Clap your hand...
Pat your partner right palm
Clap Slap! Clap your hand...
Slap your thigh and sing a little song

My mama told me if I was lucky
That she would treat me
If I was goody
My Aunty told her, I shoulda told her
No I'm not kidding
That's what she told her

3, 6, 9
The goose drank wine
The monkey chew tobacco on the streetcar line
The line broke, the monkey got choked
And they all went to heaven in a little rowboat

Clap Clap!
Clap your hands and prepare to Pat
Take your right arm
Pat your partner's palm with your right palm

Clap!
Take your hand back and clap
Clap!
Take your right arm
Cross your right arm with your left arm
Pat your partner's left palm with your left palm
Clap!
Now back with a clap
Take your hand to your palm and slap your thigh
And watch the fun materialize
As you sing this little song:

My mama told me if I was lucky
That she would treat me
If I was goody
My Aunty told her, I shoulda told her
No I'm not kidding
That's what she told her

(whisper)
3, 6, 9
The goose drank wine
The monkey chew tobacco on the streetcar line
The line broke, the monkey got choked
And they all went to heaven in a little rowboat

My mama told me if I was lucky
That she would treat me
If I was goody
My Aunty told her, I shoulda told her
No I'm not kidding
That's what she told her

My mama told me if I was lucky
That she would treat me
If I was goody
My Aunty told her, I shoulda told her
No I'm not kidding
That's what she told her

That's what she told her
I don't believe It
Yeah right
Can you believe it?

3, 6, 9
The goose drank wine
The monkey chew tobacco on the streetcar line
The line broke, the monkey got choked
And they all went to heaven in a little rowboat

I don't know any other Snap songs. :p But now I understand, and am amused. :)

Hehehehe, you should probably be scared to know that to Americans, Snap is a two-hit wonder! :eek: ;) :D But they're one of those two hit wonders where their two songs sound exactly the same, and so I had to google the lyrics to see if they came from the same song or a different song. :p

Oh, Snap! :)
 
Well I really love this gem from Jailbreak by Thin Lizzy...

"Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak ... somewhere in this town."

Two songs! Blimey, you guys had it tough...:p
 
It's a good song, but the lyrics to "One Week" by Barenaked Ladies are just plain weird.

Barenaked Ladies said:
Hold it now and watch the hoodwink
As I make you stop, think
You'll think you're looking at Aquaman
I summon fish to the dish, although I like the Chalet Swiss
I like the sushi 'cause it's never touched a frying pan
Hot like wasabe when I bust rhymes
Big like LeAnn Rimes
Because I'm all about value
Bert Kaempfert's got the mad hits
You try to match wits
You try to hold me but I bust through
Gonna make a break and take a fake
I'd like a stinkin' achin'shake
I like vanilla, it's the finest of the flavours
Gotta see the show, 'cause then you'll know
The vertigo is gonna grow
Cause it's so dangerous, you'll have to sign a waiver

Chickity China the Chinese chicken
You have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin'
Watchin X-Files with no lights on.
We're dans la maison
I hope the Smoking Man's in this one.
Like Harrison Ford I'm getting Frantic
Like Sting I'm Tantric
Like Snickers, guaranteed to satisfy

Like Kurasawa I make mad films
Okay I don't make films
But if I did they'd have a samurai
Gonna get a set of better clubs
Gonna find the kind with tiny nubs
just so my irons aren't always flying
off the back-swing
Gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon
Cause that cartoon has got the boom anime babes
that make me think the wrong thing

Killer Queen?

Gunpowder, gelatine, dynamite with a laser beam.

Gelignite maybe? Gelatine is for cooking.

Love Queen though!

I feel exactly the same way about it. It was the second song on my list. It did remind me of a song we used to sing in primary school that went something like this:

Mrs White had a fright, in the middle of the night.
Saw a ghost eating toast, halfway up a lamppost.

It then went through all the Mrs *insert colour*.
My favourite was always:

Mrs Brown went to town, with her knickers hanging down :eek: :D

My mum Patricia Durling made that rhyme up. She use to live in Denning Avenue in Croydon, Surrey UK. One of 7 siblings, they use to play out in those days, unlike our cosseted kids. She said a neighbour who was really frightful and complaining all the time was called Mrs White. She told me this when I came home chanting this school yard rhyme. I have no doubt of the fact. She also wrote stories about a poodle called waggles and his adventures and lots of poems one called Thought that was published in the Poetry Express. Sadly she died on the turn of the new millennium, but I have lots of her writings but not this little rhyme as she said she never wrote it down.
 
De Do Do Do De Da Da Da - The Police

Row Row Row Your Boat - My Sister, really my sister.
 
This has got to be on the list

Da Da Da

And the sun is going fast, aha.
Und die Sonne wandert schnell, aha.

After all it's set and done

I do not love you, you do not love me, aha

I am in love

It saddens me to include Joe Cocker, but You Are So Beautiful doesn’t strike me as genius either.
 

Des'ree – Life 0:28:

I don't want to see a ghost,
It's a sight that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast
And watch the evening news
​
I… I don't think it's supposed to be humorous.
