The Let's Play Man
8Parody of Billy Joel's song "Piano Man"
Written in approximately 10 minutes, hence the choppiness
Lyrics:
It's nine o'clock on a Sunday,
The live stream crowd shuffles in.
There's an old subscriber in the chat room,
Asking "When will the streaming begin?"
He says "Seph, can you play me an old game,
NES, N64, one of those.
One that is sad and is sweet, one that you knew complete,
When I wore a young gamer's clothes."
La la la di di da
la la di di daaaa da dum...
Play us a game, you're the Let's Play man,
Play us a game tonight.
Well, we're all in the mood for an RPG,
And we think you'll play it just right.
Now XEd in my box is a friend of mine,
Who made me a background for free.
And he killed the undead and played Nightmare House with dread,
But there's some place that he'd rather be.
He said, "Seph, I believe they are killing me,"
As he tried to run away from that place.
"Well, I'm sure that I could be a gaming star,
If these things don't end up eating my face."
~~La la etc.~~
Now Meta's a Let's Playing hobbyist,
Who never had time for a mic.
And Banjo, I swear he, is better than Sephie,
And probably will be for life.
And the Runaway Guys are Practicing Super Mario
As their subscribers can't wait till the show.
Yes they're sharing a game and collaborating,
And it's better than playing alone.
[Chorus]
It's a pretty good day for a live stream
And the moderator gives me a smile.
'Cause he knows that it's me that they're coming to see
To be entertained for a while.
And the console, it sounds like a carnival,
And my energy is nowhere near it's end,
And they go to my page, to ask advice from the "sage"
And I say, "The secret is people like you, my friend!"
~~La la etc~~
[Chorus]
