FEB 28c, singable satire: "PALACE of MALICE"
ORIGINAL SONG: "Tea for Two" 1925, as recorded later by Doris Day
PARODY COMPOSED: Giorgio Coniglio, August 2013.
The South Carolina press has intermittently reported ongoing developments in a case of this type. Fortunately, the "hit-team" came to the attention of the police before intense harm was done.
PALACE OF MALICE
(to the tune of "Tea for Two")
Singable Introduction:
Pictures – “View upon page two”
Our Daily News with sleaze imbued;
We cluck and rue a couple’s fall from grace.
Who craves such depravities?
A poisoned slough, attorneys braced;
Why must we face domestic life debased ?
Weird entertainment – A pending arraignment,
Apprehent at an upstate resort.
Murder for hire? - Who’d think he’d conspire
While still settling his child-support?
Far from the exec-lounge glitzy;
Where Bank-Pres ritzy his mess disowned.
The spouse estranged, figuring that he’s deranged,
Had foul back-up schemes of her own.
Incompati - bility,
Just rancor and antipathy,
Just I sue you, and you sue me for spite;
Vendetta vicious, menage meretricious,
No conciliator, “it’s hopeless – I hate her”
We’ll publicly launder, parental rights squander, dear, hear?
True intractability,
Just perverse animosity,
Just I stalk you, you threaten me for spite;
Spy-camera eyefuls and legal reprisals,
We’ll start with court orders then call in reporters
An overseas split, man, or hire me a hitman; Right? man?–
Scandals break, tabloids impart
You'd undertake death do us part
The front-page scoop for everyone to read..
You've a sleazy live-in friend
Who'd bar no holds for your revenge,
Next nesting spot - the penitentiary !
