The Lyrics

A small ode to that enlightened pastime of the 1980s: dwarf tossing.
An imp tossable can be heaved up pretty high,
He's an imp tossable.
An imp tossable can sail through the air�nearly fly,
He's an imp tossable
He stands no more than three-foot-three
He's crowing, "Bet you can't throw me!"
He's thrown the ganletette right down at your shoe,
That bold imp tossable.

Upward motion picks him right up off the floor�
Grab that imp tossable.
Get his gloves on; make sure his helmet's secure,
Pad that imp tossable.
Check his kneepads before you give him a hurl.
He will be glad when he hits that hardwood floor.
He'll regret it if he doesn't have his gloves,
Will that imp tossable.

Sideways motion�he's parallel to the floor
Is that imp tossable.
Once I misjudged and threw him right out the door,
Where's that imp tossable?
I felt sorrow, but my throw set a new world
Record; meanwhile, he slid through an open manhole.
I think to myself as I stare down from above:
He's now gimp tossable.
Hope his limp's lossable.

Wasn't Perry Como the one who had the big hit with this?
John Barry - September 24, 2004 - Report this comment
norman, you're right--thanks. Elvis must have covered it.
norman the k - September 24, 2004 - Report this comment
Yes, you're right--Elvis did cover it. He covered a lot of songs that were huge hits for other people, but, did a good job of them, as he always did. He could sing any type of music.

Whaddayasay, time for a Perry Como parody fest? What were some of his hits?
norman the k - September 24, 2004 - Report this comment
Most of his hits were a little before my time, but I'm sure some names would come to me if I saw/heard them. I tried to check for a website and found one, but when I tried to look at the discography, it said I was not authorized to view that page! Maybe you'd have better luck than I did. I'm sure there's something on the internet that lists his hits.

I have no idea why this didn't get more votes. It is the height of parody humor! Have a few more 5s, John.
