"WHY DON'T YOU GET A HOB?" - alternative lyrics to "Why Don't You Get A Job?" by The Offspring

Sing along to the proper song, it all fits!

My friend's got an oven and he cooks on it
He tells me every day
He says "I really love to cook my dinner
and serve it on a tray"

He cooks with the gas
He doesn't answer the phone
By his oven he will ever stay
He never eats out he always eats at home
Well my friend
You gotta say

Cook all day, cook away--,all day--, all day
Naa naa why don't you get a hob
Light the flame, light the flame, the fla--me,
Naa naa why don't you get a hob?

I guess all this food, well it isn't enough
To keep the hob in use all day
I guess all this food, well it's not enough
To have all this gas burn away

Cook all day, cook away--,all day--, all day
Naa naa why don't you get a hob
Light the flame, light the flame, the fla--me,
Naa naa why don't you get a hob?

Well I guess all this cooking must drive you up the wall
But hey man, why don't you set up your own cafe

Let me tell you about the other friend now
My friend's got a toaster and she loves that bread
She toasts it in a special way
For her poor kids, toast is all they get fed
Well tell her
You gotta say

Cook all day, cook away--,all day--, all day
Naa naa why don't you get a hob
Light the flame, light the flame, the fla--me,
Naa naa why don't you get a hob?

"CAKE BAKERS" - alternative lyrics to "Buck Rogers" by Feeder

Perhaps these need a little refinement, but here goes:


He's got a brand new oven
And some eggs & flour
Its got adjustable temperature
Cooks a cake in an hour..hour..hour..hour

And I can't wait to use it anymore

I think I'm gonna bake it
I think I'm gonna cook it yet
So don't you try and stop me, anymore, anymore

Cake Bakers... Cake Bakers

We'll start over again
Get some new ingredients
Get it in the oven
Smell the baking heaven..heaven..heaven..heaven

And I can't wait to use it anymore

I think I'm gonna bake it
I think I'm gonna cook it yet
So don't you try and stop me, anymore, anymore

"HOW BIG IS THAT SHOE?" - alternative lyrics to "How Was It For You?" by James

These were for a competition, so I spent a bit of time on them:

Hell they said that shoe was as big as my foot but thats not possible
For if my foot was that small then what would I say

Perhaps a dwarf and that shoe would be inseparable
If my foot was that small, a stone I would weigh

How big is that shoe..How big is that shoe..How big is that shoe
How big is that shoe..How big is that shoe..How big is that shoe
How big is that shoe

I really need the right size shoe to jump those fences
Can you see me face down when I fall in the soil

Hell I don't believe it I am so restless
Do not laugh at me when I fall in that hole
Fall in that hole

How big is that shoe..How big is that shoe..How big is that shoe
How big is that shoe..How big is that shoe..How big is that shoe
How big is that shoe..How big is that shoe..How big is that shoe

Was that size meant to be for me
Well that's the smallest I've ever seen
And it's the worst its ever been

How big is that shoe..How big is that shoe
How big is that shoe for me
Is it big for me that shoe

If I wasn't out of my head I could earn this wealth
But what did I know way back in the womb?
I've been obsessed this hex it could destroy myself
I could be prancing over fences but I'd never know
I'd never know

How big is that shoe..How big is that shoe..How big is that shoe
How big is that shoe..How big is that shoe..How big is that shoe
How big is that shoe..How big is that shoe..How big is that shoe

Was that size meant to be for me
Well that's the smallest I've ever seen
And this is the worst its ever been

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

I do speak not in scorn
I need some shoes to cross the lands
My feet are cold they need to be warm
Only me and my feet can understand
Need to be warm
Don't understand
My climbing walls
The crossing lands

Can't stop this squealing, yeah
Can't stop this squealing, woah
Can't stop this squealing, yeah
Can't stop this squealing, woah
Can't stop this squealing

"PARISH VICAR" - alternative lyrics to "Firestarter" by The Prodigy

I haven't got this song, so can't really see if the lyrics fit well:

I'm the parish vicar, dunking biscuit eater
I'm the devil blunted, heaven instigated

I'm a parish vicar, friendly parish vicar
You're a parish vicar, minted parish vicar

I'm the itch that started, wealth accelerated
Yeah, I'm from the church belated, local council instigated

I'm a parish vicar, friendly parish vicar
You're a parish vicar, minted parish vicar

I'm the one predicted, dunked biscuit-eater
Yeah, its Jesus allocated, tainted propagator

I'm a parish vicar, friendly parish vicar
You're a parish vicar, minted parish vicar

Vicar... Vicar... Vicar

"SAFEWAY SHOPPING FOR CAKE" - alternative lyrics to "Seven Days In The Sun" by Feeder

A request, this one. The briefing: write a song about Barbie and coloured cake! No problem:

ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

I am a doll, my name is Barbie
Me and Ken, bright coloured cake shopping in Safeway
We took a trolley, through the second aisle
To view the gateau cakes new
We stood and thought of spoons
For eating cakes with prunes
Way back one day

Safeway shopping for cake, Safeway shopping for cake, Yeah
Ken's a Welshman, I have a birthmark
He's a Welshman, go bite my crust

We have this dog
His name is... Fido
He likes to pee-pee every time we jog
In a shade of yellow
We told him off, said he was a cast-off
We jogged off through the meadow
But now he's not around
Got eaten by a wolf-hound
Way below the clouds

Safeway shopping for cake, Safeway shopping for cake

Ken's a Welshman, I have a birthmark
He's a Welshman, go bite my crust
So go and bite my crust - go and bite my crust So go and

Looking through the crowd, its spinning the aisles around
What was this song about

We used to bake a cake In our stove inside the kitchen
Sometimes the oven would misfire And bang into the sky in Devon
They used to be sugar free
No chocolate, fudge or toffee
Safeway shopping for cake

Ken's a Welshman, I have a birthmark
He's a Welshman, go bite my crust

Go bite my crust, Go bite my crust
Go bite my crust, Go bite my crust

The cakes we dined.

"HOME AS WE WERE" - alternative lyrics to "Come As You Are" by Nirvana

Another request for a Barbie song (its true!), I chose Come As You Are:

Home as we are, as we were
As I want us to be
Me and Ken, me and Ken, so fun and carefree
Drink your wine, have a sup
Your bed-sores, need help mate
Make some toast, at weekend, in your old khaki-- aagh

khaki-- agh, khaki-- agh, khaki-- agh

Home aroused you stud, smoked the peach
As I want us to be
Don't pretend, at weekend, in your old khaki-- aagh

khaki-- agh, khaki-- agh, khaki-- agh

And I swear that we don't have no fun,
No we don't have no fun
No we don't have no fun

khaki-- agh, khaki-- agh, khaki-- agh

And I swear that we don't have no fun
No we don't have no fun
No we don't have no fun
No we don't have no fun

khaki-- agh, khaki-- agh

"SLICE BY SLICE" - alternative lyrics to "Piece By Piece" by Feeder

Well, I did 2 songs that mention cakes, and someone seems to think I have such a "cake baking problem", they go and change lyrics for it!
Nevermind, its the first entry on to this page by a person other than me (they're good too):

Alex sits in his ovens heat
Children playing by his feet
See the smiles on cake dough faces
Sees his cake begin to sink
As the wind blows round the tin
Leaves him open to temptation

'Cause nothing ever lasts forever
We're like candles on this cake together

Cake baking, it's pulling him down
Tearing him down, slice by slice
And he can't see that's it's creating steam
It's melting the cream, it's too hot to eat

Waiting for icing to set
Thinking about baking debts
Trying to be a chef he'd like to be
Selling cookware on the road
Where the hell can he still go
Leaves him open to temptation

'Cause nothing ever lasts forever
We're like candles on this cake together

Cake baking, it's pulling him down
Tearing him down, slice by slice
And he can't see that's it's creating steam
It's melting the cream, it's too hot to eat

... the cake's worth waiting for...
... it's still worth waiting for...

'Cause nothing ever lasts forever
We're like candles on this cake together

Cake baking, it's pulling him down
Tearing him down, slice by slice
And he can't see that's it's creating steam
It's melting the cream, it's too hot to eat

Cake baking, it's pulling him down
Tearing him down, slice by slice
And he can't see that's it's creating steam
It's melting the cream, it's too hot to eat

"FARMERS" - alternative lyrics to "Good Souls" by Starsailor

If you enjoyed Lou's little parody above, well here she has another. To quote, "It's about my Shaun the Sheep bag, who wears a kilt, a little white t-shirt, a bandana and karma beads, and has his nose and eyebrow pierced." Shaun the Sheep of Wallace And Gromit fame of course. Although I'm sure his nose and eyebrow weren't pierced...

Feel cold after every shear I take
'Cos I know the light from the burning sun won't stay
Sheep, I'm a sheep every day
Is my headgear okay?
I need to be warm
Christ, I'm out of my depth
The grass is too long, The grass is too long

So I turn to you and I say
Thank goodness for the farmers
That make life better
So I turn to you and I say
If it wasn't for the farmers
Life would not matter

Dive straight into the sheep-dip
But save your bandana, the fabric will wear
Dive straight in at the deep end
But save your bandana so it doesn't tear

So I turn to you and I say
Thank goodness for the farmers
That make life better
So I turn to you and I say
If it wasn't for the farmers
Life would not matter

One good day of the week and I'll be warm again
One good day of the week, I'll be richer than the whole sheep pen

So I turn to you and I say
Thank goodness for the farmers
That make life better
So I turn to you and I say
If it wasn't for the farmers
Life would not matter

by Lou and her Travis-fanatic friend (Kayleigh)

"SUGAR FREE" - alternative lyrics to "Turn" (radio-edit) by Feeder

Here's Lou again. I think she's trying to take over this page but don't tell her I said that. These may just be even funnier than her last though, but remember, it's not me with the cake or Barbie problem. Honestly. But now I've said "honestly", you probably won't believe me...nevermind.

I'm seeing things, I'm going crazy
I've been thinking I may be
Slowly losing my mind
I find myself talking to sponge cakes
Supplying my sweet tooth
With sugar again

'Cos I don't wanna see a dentist
'Cos I might get his young apprentice

And I don't wanna sit here eating cake
Doing so would be a big mistake
I wish that sticky cakes were sugar free
'Cos I don't want a mouth of rotten teeth

I'm seeing things, I'm going crazy
Alex's obsession with Barbie
Is overstepping the line
She found herself endorsing pink toothpaste
So she doesn't get sued again
For the twentieth time

'Cos I don't wanna see a dentist
'Cos I might get his young apprentice

And I don't wanna sit here eating cake
Doing so would be a big mistake
I wish that sticky cakes were sugar free
'Cos I don't want a mouth of rotten teeth

So come on, give in
There's no sugar in this cake
So come on, don't forget
We've gotta clean our teeth again

And I don't wanna sit here eating cake
Doing so would be a big mistake
I wish that sticky cakes were sugar free
'Cos I don't want a mouth of rotten teeth
