What About Marlene?
(Parody of "Just the Two of Us")
By Barret Wallace
From: Big Wally Style
From the first time they said we weren't as good as Wild Arms
I knew Square'd meet death before I'd let you meet harm
Although questions arose in my mind, can she rap?
I was wrong, but loved you and'd be your pap
From the hospital that first night
Got the van, checked and turned the signals to the right
People drivin all slow, gave me a real hot head
"Jes' speed yo @#&^% car up, foo!" I said
That night I don't think I slept at all
Some dog kept howlin at a pic of Squall
Boarded the window, I worried bout yo'
Course it turned out you had fallen asleep, d'oh!
Next mornin I woke, and begged the Lord please
Kill that neighbor's dog, it's all that I need
I'd have to protect you goo'--
I pledged my life to you
What about Marlene? Can she make it if I try?
What about Marlene? (What about Marlene)
What about Marlene? Read 'bout castles in the sky
What about Marlene? You and I
Five years old, bringin comedy
Everyone looks at you and thinks man, what a Peewee
Forget them
They'll see, cuz you'll get tall
Makes me laugh cause you got Popeye arms an all
Sometimes I wonder, what she gonna be
A Shopkeeper, Breeder, maybe an MP
Haha, I wanna kiss you all the time
But you know, the law says that can get me a big fine, trudat
#%$@ Harrasment law, why they do that?
I try to be a tough dad, but I'm just makin you laugh
Makes me hurl, when I don't see the eyes of my baby girl
I pledgin to you, I always do
Everything I could
Teach you to be a girl, I would
Riflery and honor like AVALANCHE should
An if Wedge dies, it ain't no big--
You'll get it in time, it's the same wit Biggs
Didn't work out with me an Dyne, this time
Had to push and shove while you were sealed in love
If Weapon attacks, and you slide off track
Remember one fact, I got your back,
Sorta
What about Marlene? Can she make it if I try?
What about Marlene? (What about Marlene)
What about Marlene? Read 'bout castles in the sky
What about Marlene? You and I
It's a full-time job to be a good dad
Got a bit more tech stuff than I had
Gotta fight monsters for gil--it ain't da bomb
It stunk, but now you got a big CD-ROM
See me-I'm
Tryin to pretend I know
Bout my gun-arm where Materia go
But yo, ain't nuthin promised, one day I'll be gone
Stick wit Strife, and don't trust Rufus cuz he go wrong
And by the way
Stay away from Hart
He hates PaRappa don't it break your heart?
And ooh ain't no pain like a Domino complaint
Gonna hurt bad; take him out on the paint, girl
Those damn Shinra will make you mad
Disrespect you and treat you bad
Let AVALANCHE should deal with the things they do
Cause your level ain't as high as that Rufus foo
Always tell the truth, sometimes swear--
Not as much as Cid, though--and try to share
Your dreams might come true if you pray
Whew, that's all I've gotta say
What about Marlene? Can she make it if I try?
What about Marlene? (What about Marlene)
What about Marlene? Read 'bout castles in the sky
What about Marlene? You and I
Marlene: This is a good song dad, will I get paid if I say this?
Barret: Say what, Marlene?
Marlene: SUUUUUUUUURRRRGGGGE!!!!
Barret: Uh, no.
