"Pushed Back Three Spaces"
(spoof of "Friends in Low Places")
By the Andy Ober Orchestra
Blame it all on bad luck
I guess I got stuck
In a really bad part of this game
I was the last one to roll, the first in the hole
Well, I lose every time all the same
I continued my quest on Community Chest
Well maybe this game's not that hard
But misfortune rang true, and now I'll share with you
Just what it said on that card...
Well, I got pushed back three spaces
All my friends were laughing, making mean faces
Why can't I be free...from Monopoly
Yeah, I'll start filing bankruptcy cases
Cause I bet I'll land on Park Place
Yeah, I got sent back...three spaces
It's like a bad dream, I just want to scream
When that game comes down from the shelf
My opponent's to thank, he has to run the bank
And give interest free loans to himself
We continued to dance, I landed on Chance
The message was nothing real new
And I don't have to show, cause I bet you all know
Just what that card told me to do
Chorus
Now there was a lot of stuff that was not
Where it was supposed to be stored
And maybe one day we might actually play
It takes weeks just to set up the board
Now I'd like to speak to that little freak
That rich Uncle Pennybags
I'd like to tell you, and the horse and the shoe
That you can all kiss my *ss
Chorus
