| Parody: |
Original
(performed by The Brothers Four): |
Once there was foreskin
And I was one
Once there was tissue
Where veins and nerves used to run
Once I had a foreskin
I would have been proud of
Once it was part of an everlasting love
I was born perfect when I
had foreskin | Once there were green fields
Kissed by the sun
Once there were valleys
Where rivers used to run
Once there were blue skies
With white clouds high above
Once there were part of an everlasting love
We were the lovers who strolled
Through green fields |
Foreskin is gone now
Shorn by someone
Gone is the tissue
Where veins and nerves used to run
Gone with the cold knife
That cut into my heart
Gone with the doctor
That tore my skin apart
Where is the foreskin
my glans once called home | Green fields are gone now
Parched by the sun
Gone from the valleys
Where rivers used to run
Gone with the cold wind
That swept into my heart
Gone with the lovers
Who let their dreams depart
Where are the green fields
That we used to roam |
I'll never know why it was torn away
How can I keep searching
I'm ridiculed all day
I only know, that it was robbed from me
No one in this world could give it back to me
|
I'll never know what made you run away
How can I keep searching
When dark clouds hide the day
I only know there's nothing here for me
Nothing in this wide world left for me to see |
But I'll keep on stretching till it returns
I'll keep on tugging until the day they learn
I can't be happy
While my glans is exposed
I can't be happy until my glans is home
Home in the foreskin I had once again | But I'll keep on waiting till you return
I'll keep on waiting untill the day you learn
You can't be happy
While your heart's on the roam
You can't be happy until you bring it home
Home to the greenfields and me once again |
