Ghost Writers in Disguise
Ghost Riders in the Sky: Words and Music by Stan Jones circa 1949
Parody by LonePalm

An old tired hack went writing out one dark and stormy night
Upon the web he rested as he cruised another site.
When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed Dems he saw
A 'plowin' through their ragged lies and up a logic flaw.

Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o
Ghost writers in disguise.

Their friends were still on fire and their whines began to peal.
Their scorn wuz black and swiny and their hot breath made you reel.
A bolt of fear went through him as they blundered through their lies
For he saw the writers comin' hard and he heard their mournful cries

Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o
Ghost writers in disguise.

Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, and arm pits soaked with sweat
They're writin' hard to reach that herd but they ain't got them yet
They've got to write forever crap that no one else will buy
On PCs snortin' fire, as they write on, hear their cry

Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o
Ghost writers in disguise.

As the writers moped on by him, he heard one call his name
"If you want to save your soul from hell a' writin' to your shame."
"Then writer change your ways today or with us you will write"
"A-tryin' to reach the Demo herd, ‘They’ll never get it right.’"

Rest In Peace Johnny Cash. Because you’re fine, I wrote the line.

This one is for Johnny Cash and is a take off on my favorite Cash song. The video of this one will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.

Thanks Mud,

Very nice job. I had been thinking about that one but hadn't done anything. Yours is better than what I was thinking about.
