This song parody is to the tune of Cee Lo Greene’s “F-You”. I wrote it for an art group (Night of the Radish) theme “Go F— Yourself” after hearing Katy’s latest single, “Last Friday Night”. Thinking, let alone writing this officially makes me a cranky old lady.
You see I’m driving round town with a kid I love
And I’m like F-you! Oo, oo, ooo
I guess a change of the station just wasn’t enough
I’m like, F-you! And, Lady Gaga too!
I think as you get richer…your lyrics get sicker
So go F yourself (go F yourself)
And as my kid sings a-lo-ong to your nasty songs
F-you! Oo, oo, ooo
Oh Katy Perry…your life is scary
But that don’t mean my kid should hear
About your sex life…and where you’re hairy
Or the laws you break when you drink some beer
I pity the fo-ol that sings along with you
(oh shhhh I keep singing too …when you drive, there’s nothing else to do)
Ooooooh – I’ve got some news for you
Yeah…wait til YOUR daughter sings it to her little boyfriend
Now I know…there’s other music — country, classic rock and a Latin beat
But the kids wanna be cool…trying to be you
And that means that they all look cheap
I pity the fo-ol that sings along with you
(oh shhhh I keep singing too …when you drive, there’s nothing else to do)
Ooooooh – I’ve got some news for you
Yeah…wait til YOUR daughter sings it to her little boyfriend
Now Katy, Lady, Kesha, why do you girls gotta be-e so bad?
(so bad, so bad, so bad)
Try to see like a mother, or even think li-ike a dad
(a dad, a dad, a dad)
Uh! Whhhy? Uh! Whhhy? Uh! Whhhy?
Oh! I hate you oh! I still hate you. Oooh!
You see I’m driving round town with a kid I love, and I’m like F-you!
And though your life is a mess, please spare us the rest
F-you …Ooooh!

Jan ~ love it! And….I must agree with your lyrics too!
