    PLAYLIST TIME:

    Parrish

    by: Gilbert O'Sullivan

    Now Parrish was born on a summer's morn
    High up on Salisbury plain
    His parents were surprised when he opened his eyes
    And said how do You do Parrish is my name
    He started in school breaking every rule
    Violence was his only relief
    For someone so small
    To burn down the school hall
    Was to him an education that just
    Couldn't be beat
    Throughout every, week of every half a year
    Throughout every month of every day
    At the age of thirteen
    When most boys should still be green
    His experience with women was to say the least great
    The best way to describe him in later life
    Is to go back to where it began
    While abducting a Nun
    He had suddenly become
    Converted from a sinner to a
    Godfearing man
    Throughout every week of every half a year
    Throughout every month of every day
    If he gets to be Pope
    And who's to say he has no hope
    There'll be one hell of a party down
    Salisbury way
    Incredible though it sounds he still astounds
    All those who hear him speak
    The man they, used to call
    The biggest villain of them all
    Former child delinquent now a good
