You Took The Words Right Out Of My Song
(A Filk Victim's Lament)
(You Took the Words Right Out Of My Mouth - Meat Loaf)

It was a hot summer night and the 'net I was trawlin'
There was lag from my ISP's host
When I came across your filk I hear my lawyers calling
I see my copyright
Blasted by your devious post...

You were posting your filk and your modem was hummin'
I was dying just to cut off your line
But a policeman caught me
By the light of the moon
Now I might well end up doin'
Might well end up doin'
Might well end up doin' some time...

It sounded so close that my knees grew weak
But I gotta get my lawyers round
I'm trying to sue, but no matter what I do
I can't seem to find the legal grounds

Because you took the words right out of my song
Oh -- It must have been while you were filking me
You took the words right out of my song
And I swear it's true
I was just about to say I sue you...

Now my fist is shaking like a taxicab driver's
And I think my chance of winning is real
When the case is done, I can sue for what I want to
The law's an ass
But I've got the dough to hire her -
I'm gonna hire Ally McBeal...

You were posting your filk and your modem was hummin'
I was dying just to cut off your line
But a policeman caught me
By the light of the moon
Now I might well end up doin'
Might well end up doin'
Might well end up doin' some time...

Because you took the words right out of my song
Oh -- It must have been while you were filking me
You took the words right out of my song
And I swear it's true
I was just about to say I sue you...
Because you took the words right out of my song
Oh -- It must have been while you were filking me
You took the words right out of my song
And I swear it's true
I was just about to say I sue you...
