Thomas Ponton, a Buffett for eons, wrote parody lyrics to Garth Brooks' "Two
Pina
Coladas", which we all know is an obvious rip-off of Jimmy Buffett. Thought
you all might like this. If you enjoyed this, drop him a line at

Rip Off Jimmy Buffett
Parody Lyrics By Tom Ponton

sung to "Two Pina Coladas"

He was feelin' the blues
Havin' paid some dues
In need of another hit disc
Management said
He was to tread
On the familiar without all the risk
That got him thinkin'
Of songs about drinkin'
And how far divers might go
Been done before
By a redneck bore
Named David Allan Coe

So let's rip off Jimmy Buffett
And make ourselves a quick buck
And if they question the writers
We'll just say it was luck
Hell, Jimmy's got his fan base
He won't give a f***
So let's rip off Jimmy Buffett
And mine the gold that he has struck

Now don't get me wrong
This is not a mean song
And we don't mean to cause any pain
Hell, come tommorrow
We just might borrow
A quote from the books of Mark Twain
So let Garth have his day
And pick up up his pay
And his fans will think he's so smart
And they can cheer
Though he's so insincere
As he's sellin' for KMart

the verses here seem to follow the beat of "Friends in High Places"!
.....BananaLady....
...laugh til you cry and cry til you smile...with
a little love and luck we will get by...

Hey Pat,

get a life, I really don't think Gatrh needs to be riping people off to make a
buck. I think he makes enough with his own music.

true..but it was pretty dang good! I laughed..and I am sure Garth doesn't
really care one way or the other.
