Speed Dial a Mime

This turns "Sweet Child O' Mine" by Guns N' Roses into a song about a mime's disregard for the English language and subsequent game-show difficulties.

He aughta study for the SAT
But grammar is not his cup of tea
This whole English thing
Well, it seems such a waste of time

The weekend's been when he paints his face
And he heads downtown to a special place
And there the faire troupe throng
Will put on a big pantomime

Go see Milo the mime
Go see Milo the mime

Years spin by on the hands of time
While this miming champion
Will fit his hands in cotton whites
And squeeze in a box again

And now Milo's up on a TV show
He's wearing a contestant sign
And posed with a question he don't know
He'll call on his mime life line

Go speed dial a mime
Go speed dial a mime
Go speed dial a mime
Speed dial a mime

What do you know?
I is a pronoun
What do you know?

What do you know?
You is a pronoun
And we is a pronoun

What do you know?
Speed dial
This is a pronoun

My yie yie yie yie yie mime
This is a pronoun
What do you know?  I is a pronoun
What do you know?  You is a pronoun
What do you know?  We is a pronoun
Now now now now now now noun
Speed dial
Speed dial a mime
