List-Format Songs

List-Format Songs

I ran across this thread on LiveJournal. This is the newest craze, or so it seems. The idea is to take a song (preferably familiar to your audience) and convert it into list format. For example,

• I address myself to:
• little baby

• My instructions to said addressee:
• hush
• don't you cry

• I identify myself as:
• Daddy

• I promise to purchase for my addressee, in chronological order:
1. mockingbird
2. diamond ring
3. looking glass
4. billy goat
5. cart + bull

• Here follow the possible malfunctions of said purchased items, in corresponding chronological order (each of which, upon occurrence, shall cause me to purchase the next item on list):
1. won't sing
2. turns brass
3. gets broke
4. won't pull
5. fall down

• My final contingency plan, in the case of the occurrence of all aforementioned malfunctions, is:
• to proclaim the following:
• you'll still be the sweetest little baby in town

Isn't that fun? Now, everyone can post with their favorite list-format songs. Let the games begin! (Need ideas? Check out the link in the title of this post.)
