The Lyrics
Best. Movie. Ever. haha well its my favorite anyways...
I hear the warden coming; he's gone tossing cells
If he finds my rock-hammer, he will give me hell
I'm stuck in Shawshank prison, and I just don't belong
Outside I was a banker, guess now my luck is gone
They said I killed a golfer, who cheated with my wife
I pleaded "not guilty" but still, they gave me life
Now I've made friends with Redding, made friends with Heywood too
Funded a new library, did taxes for the screws
Well I know that Norton's scamming, some money off the top
When I told him "I'm done", he said that "nothing stops".
Well I've carved a hole on my cell, so I can escape
Sick of all the bad food, and all the anal rape
I finally broke out of there, to head for Mexico
Told my best friend Red if he's released that he should go
Well I exposed that rat Norton, "salvation lies within"
Now that I'm free it's high time - I got busy livin'
If he finds my rock-hammer, he will give me hell
I'm stuck in Shawshank prison, and I just don't belong
Outside I was a banker, guess now my luck is gone
They said I killed a golfer, who cheated with my wife
I pleaded "not guilty" but still, they gave me life
Now I've made friends with Redding, made friends with Heywood too
Funded a new library, did taxes for the screws
Well I know that Norton's scamming, some money off the top
When I told him "I'm done", he said that "nothing stops".
Well I've carved a hole on my cell, so I can escape
Sick of all the bad food, and all the anal rape
I finally broke out of there, to head for Mexico
Told my best friend Red if he's released that he should go
Well I exposed that rat Norton, "salvation lies within"
Now that I'm free it's high time - I got busy livin'

A bit better 444
You know, I stumbled a bit with pacing, but overall, I thought this was solid. An EXCELLENT re-telling of one of my favorite films as well. " Sick of all the bad food, and all the anal rape" came out of nowhere and made me laugh...=) Nice job!
Loved the matter-of-fact tone of the "anal-rape" line.
Nice summary of events - 555
Take 5 years off for good behavior.
Excellent parody. One of my favorite flicks as well. 555
Good parody. One of my favorite movies, too.
Yep, it's one of my favourite movies, too :-) Nicely done.
..looking at the comments, you could always do a parody about "The man with two Brians"
