Guitar note: This tune is played using the strings as percussion (bum bum BUM), with the sound produced from the left hand fingering the chord. The hand pushes down much harder than she normally would in order to make it audible.
| Em What’s | this you wrote using my own tune |
| With altered | Am words | ? I fear I’ll find out soon. |
| I cringe and | B7 wince | at each taste | Am less | pun. |
| What have you | B7 done | ? |
| Am Filk | song | Em wri | ter! |
Who authored this this poetic rape?
My imagery, twisted out of shape.
One rhyming word, left there as a crutch:
This has your touch.
Filksong writer!
| Am Par | ody! Shameless mockery! |
| Or | Em is | it praise in disguise? |
| Am Par | ody! It’s a travesty |
| Of my | B7 work | ! |
| Damn your | Am eyes | ! | Em |
Where will it end? Which of us is safe
From songs like these, with words that gall and chafe?
Though this one’s done, more will follow after.
I hear your laughter ...
Filksong writer!
