A Parody of Jumper (by Third Eye Blind)

Not a usual type of post, but every once in a while, I like to write parodies. I can't sing or play instruments, so the odds of producing a track are low.  Still, for comedy's sake (if you're into parodies, at least), here it is.  I'm working on ironing it out, and I haven't thought of a title yet, but here is the basic parody.



I wish you would step back from those eggs, my friend
You could cut ties with all the spices you've been cooking with
And if you do not want to eat meat again
I would understAAAaaaAAaaaaAAaaaaand
I would understAAAaaaAAaaaaAAaaaaand

The angel cake's a bit moist today
Icing tasted a bit too plain
It was in the oven too long

You burnt your rice!
The flavors gone
You're the buttered side of a toasted bun
Got ingredients wrong

Every recipe has got a season
To make
You put take out away

I wish you would step back from those eggs, my friend
You could cut ties with all the spices you've been cooking with
And if you do not want to eat meat again
I would understAAAaaaAAaaaaAAaaaaand
I would understAAAaaaAAaaaaAAaaaaand

Food's on the table
and it's getting cold
No we won't eat it drinking Coke
Just pour some wine

You made french fries
You have ketchup
Can't you measure? You made too much!
And I, don't like tomatoes

Everyone has plates to put their peas on
And the curds and whey
All you can fit on your tray

I wish you would step back from those eggs, my friend
You could cut ties with all the spices you've been cooking with
And if you do not want to eat meat again
I would understAAAaaaAAaaaaAAaaaaand
I would understAAAaaaAAaaaaAAaaaaand

I like mine with ham!
I like mine with ham!

Can you fit it on your tray?

I wish you would step back from those eggs, my friend
(I like mine with ham!)
I wish you would step back from those eggs, my friend
(I like mine with ham!)
I wish you would step back from those eggs, my friend

I like mine with haaaaAAaaaaaAAaaaaAAm...
