Uke-Song: anthem for limericists; Shania Twain's "VERSE!"

PARODY LYRICS  

ORIGINAL SONG: "Up!"  is the lead song in the eponymous album recorded by Shania Twain in 2002. The song, in a light country/western format, is notable for its use of a limerick-like rhyme, AABBA, in its five-line verses. As the scansion of "Up!" doesn't fit perfctly with the anapestic (x-x-X) triple-rhythm of limericks, some changes were required to modify the traditional limerick stories recounted in this parody.

PARODY COMPOSED: Giorgio Coniglio, January 2018.
