(Sung to the tune of My Way)
And now, the cash is here
And so I face the Western Union
My friend, I'll say it clear
I've got the code, of which your certain
I've lived a life that's full
I travelled each and ev'ry highway
And more, much more than this, I did it your way

Safaris, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what you made me do and saw it through without comprehension
You planned each charted course, each tattoo along the biceps
And more, much more than this, I did it your way

Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit at rough words from you
But through it all, when there was doubt
You made the forms, i filled them out
I fell for it all and I fell flat and did it your way

I've loved, I've laughed and cried
My aunt was ill, and now shes died
And now, as tears subside, you find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And made me look such a prat,
"Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I did it your way"

For what is a man, what has he got?
If it�s me, then not a lot
To say the things I truly feel and not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows and did it your way!

[instrumental]

Yes, it was your way

I've tried to scam a church
and I believed the maga priest.
four thousand I would recieve
just to perform a simple task.

I didn't know it was a trick
and like a fool, I fell for it,
and all I got was just a dumb
tattoo on my muuugu ass.

<br>Here's my effort. Very little of the original altered, but the lyrics just seemed appropriate...

[Sung to the tune of 'Don't Cry For Me Argentina']

Quote:

It won't be easy, you'll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel in this e-mail which may come as a suprise
That I still need your money after all that I've done
You won't believe me
All you will see is a lad you once knew
Although he's dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with the mtcn and you

I had to let it happen, I had to change
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the internet cafe window, staying out of the sun
So I chose scamming
Running around on safari, trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it to

Don't cry for me 419Eater
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My sad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance

And as for fortune, and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seems to the world they were all I desired
They are illusions
They're not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you and hope you love me

Don't cry for me 419Eater

Don't cry for me 419Eater
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance

Have I said too much?
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you
But all you have to do is look at me
To know that every word is true

Don't cry for me 419Eater

Please feel free to adapt.

So I chose scamming
Running around on safari, trying everything new
Please send your promise
now i went the distance

tiny edit to make the safari fit the tempo and lines of the song..

He aint heavy, He�s my Oga

The scam is long
With many a winding turn
A safari to who knows where
Who knows when
But I�m dumb
Dumb enough to obey him
He aint heavy, he�s my oga

So off we go
My welfare is of no concern
No burden is he to bear
Cause I�ll get there
For I know
He would encumber me

I�m not laden at all
Not laden with hatred
I�ve been sent another duff WU form
Aint worked out I�m being baited
One more trip and I�ll be arrested

It�s a long, long scam
With no financial return
We�re on the way to god knows where
Moneygram form to share
And my man
He don�t way me down at all
He aint heavy, he�s my oga

He�s my oga
He aint heavy, he�s my oga
