Topic: Eagles Parody

There's a little Weird Al Yankovic in all of us, so here's my parody of The Eagles, "Take It Easy."  I didn't do a fancy format because this is just a parody of someone else song. Anyway, hope you get a laugh out of it.

"Cuz I'm Sleazy"

                  G                   
Well I’m hanging at the bar, posing like a star,
                                D          C
I got seven women on my mind
G                                               D
Four say they don’t know me, two they just ignore me
C                                      G
One thinks I’m a waste of time
                      Em           C      G
They say I’m sleazy, so sleazy
          Am                   C                        Em
Gotta find the kind of girl who’s really easy.
          C              G
Trying hard as I can,
              C              G
But I’m still a loser man
              Am                        C                           G
Nobody wants to take my hand  because I’m sleazy

                G
Now I’m wandering a park, strolling after dark,
                   D            C
Such a fine sight to see,
          G                      D
It’s a girl my my, who isn’t with a guy
                 C                                             G
And she’s walking on the path towards me.
              Em                      C    G
Hey there sweetie, I’m so needy
                    Am              C                         Em   
I’d give you fifty bucks for you to come and squeeze me..               
                  C                  G                     C                                G
Why you running off so fast, don’t you think our love could last
                     Am                         C                                G
I guess you feel you’ve been harassed, and that I’m sleazy

               G
Now I’m fleeing from the cops, but I think they mighta stopped,       
                             D              C
So I’ll likely get away this time     
G                                       D
Looking for a cutie, who won’t be so snooty,
          C                G
She’s so hard to find
            Em              C    G
Cuz I’m sleazy, so sleazy
          Am                C                   Em
Do I need to buy a doll to try to please me?
                  C   G             C   G   
Come on ladies, I’m not crazy                 
           Am                  C                            G
I just need another chance before you  taze me.

Re: Eagles Parody

Nice Artie,

"Four say they don’t know me, two they just ignore me
C                                      G
One thinks I’m a waste of time"

Sounds like a fun way to play it..I'll have to copy and paste it into my songbook. smile

Re: Eagles Parody

artie, this is brilliant! 5 *. i had one heck of a job singing it as i was laughing so much. i actually do "take it easy" in my stage act, i may well use your version instead, gotta run before they taze me!

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.
