GROUCHO MARX
 
This parody won half the Bronze Medal in AmIright's
Song of the Month of May 2008 Contest!
The times they are a-changing. Two generations ago all you had to do if you wanted to serve your fellow man and generic public interest was to learn how to handle a gun, shoot in self defence and join the military or the peace corps. Today you have to serve your fellow man's generic pubic interest by learning how to handle a camera, shoot first and join the arbitrary press corps. With that in mind I decided to enlist myself in giving this old song a much needed update.


Where can you take pictures
Be immune from lectures
Learn fresh upskirtology
Where can you be rude to
Misfits who are into
Snorted toxicology
Where can it be worthwhile
Catching warts and hostiles
Study gerontology
Sign up for the news stand
Get some cash in your hand
When a celeb's indiscreet

Paparazzi
Shoot Britney Spears without some fuzz
Paparazzi
Shoot Sandra Bullock on the bus
Paparazzi
Shoot Heidi Fleiss when she's not manned
Paparazzi, paparazzi
Catch Pee-wee Herman with the hand
Paparazzi
Shoot bloated Oprah shopping bran
Paparazzi
Shoot tweenie popstars at the mall
Paparazzi
Shoot David Beckham airing balls
Paparazzi (Paparazzi) - Paparazzi (Ewww…)

They want you, they want you
They want you as a vulture too

With an eye for dentures
Hairstyle misadventures
You'll be in the gravy fast
Catch stars overweight
Or when they're just irate
Or after work in plaster cast
Groupies who are too young
Popstars who are well hung
Snap them and you'll get the bling
Start today and you'll be
A good little nazi…
I mean paparazzi, Gee…

Paparazzi
Snap at Naomi when she throws
Paparazzi
Snap Michael Jackson on the nose
Paparazzi
Be there when celebs take the stand
Paparazzi, paparazzi
Get a camera in your hand
Paparazzi
Be there when actors act offhand
Paparazzi
Snap Woody Allen with a niece
Paparazzi
Snap Paris Hilton wearing fleece
Paparazzi (Paparazzi) - Paparazzi (Paparazzi)

They want you, they want you
They want you as a vulture too
Who, me?
They want you, they want you
They want you as a vulture too

But, but, but I'm afraid of brat packs!
Hey, hey look man
I get nauseous even watchin'em on TV!

They want you
Oh my goodness
They want you
What am I gonna do with a Hasselblad?
They want you
They want you
Paparazzi
