Disclaimer: The demented muse made me do it.

Summary: A parody of "It's My Party and I'll Cry if I Want To" (Complete with slant rhyme and irregular line lengths.) This is for the "Music" challenge at Black Pearl Sails. All death threats can be sent to the Andromeda Galaxy--which is where I'm hiding out.

It's My Hanging and I'll Laugh if I Want To

Chorus:
It’s my hanging and I’ll laugh if I want to,
Laugh if I want to, laugh if I want to.
You would laugh too, if you knew what I do.

You can glare at me all you want, my friends.
I’ve run through all the raindrops.
I’ve lived my life in freedom,
Though it ends with sudden stops.

(Chorus)

At least I’ve had my share of thrills and fun.
I’ve escaped a thousand plights.
Playing priest was a riot!
I could give my own last rites.

(Chorus)

Now Will has done a stupid Turner thing.
We’re dumping marines in droves.
The whole fort’s in an uproar,
And a feather’s up my nose.

(Chorus)

Cotton’s parrot is flying high above.
Liz has made James’ humour vile.
I’m about to take a dive;
I’ve got reason for a smile.

(Chorus)

The Black Pearl is sailing around the point,
Like a queen come for her king.
Oh what a perfect surprise!
If I weren’t swimming, I’d sing.

Chorus:
It’s my hanging and I’ll laugh if I want to,
Laugh if I want to, laugh if I want to.
You would laugh too, if you knew what I do.

BWAHAHAHAHA!!!

I've listened to that song many many times in the past, but I would NEVER have gotten that idea. Priceless!

*giggles*

I don't know where this idea came from. It showed up on my doorstep and wouldn't leave until I took pity on it and brought it in out of the cold. I'm glad it gave you a laugh.
