Once in a while
Maybe you will feel the urge.
To break international copyright law
By downloading mp3s
From file sharing sites
Like morpheus or grokster or limewire or kazza.
But deep in your Heart.
You know the guilt would drive you mad
And the shame would leave a permanent scar
Cause you start out stealing songs
Then you’re robbing liquor stores
And selling Crack
And running over school kids with your car
[Chorus]
So Don’t Download This Song
The record store is where you belong
Go and buy the CD like you know that you should
Oh Don’t Download This Song
Oh you don’t want to mess
With the RIAA
They’ll sue you if you burn that Cdr.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a grandma
Or a seven year old girl
They’ll treat you like the evil Hard-bitten criminal scum you are
[Chorus]
So Don’t Download This Song (don’t go)
Pirating music all day long
Go and buy the CD like you know that you should
Oh Don’t Download This Song
Don’t take away money
From artists just like me
How else can I afford another solid gold Humvee
And diamond studded swimming pools
These things don’t grow on trees
So all I ask is everybody Pleaseeeeee
[Chorus]
Don’t Download This Song (Don’t do it No No)
Even Lars Urlich Know it’s wrong (You could just ask him)
Go and buy the CD like you know that you should (You Really Should)
Oh Don’t Download This Song
Don’t Download This Song (Oh please don’t you do it or you)
Might Wind up in Jail like Tommy Chong (Remember Tommy)
Go and buy the CD (Right Now) like you know that you should (Go out and Buy it)
Oh Don’t Download This Song.
Don’t Download This Song (No no no no no no)
Or you’ll burn in hell before to long (And you deserve it)
Go and buy the CD (Just buy it) like you know that you should (You cheap bastard)

To the guy below me.
Of course it's sarcasm. Man, it's WEIRD AL for cryin' out loud! Hell, it's available at his website. For download! And yes, he's laughing his fucking ass off at the RIAA. <--- Not sarcasm.
Sarcasm or what? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/11/2007
Was this song sarcasm or what??? I mean - the swimming pools, HUMVEEs, the thing about driving over schoolkids, the equality between a grandma and a little girl, etc. makes me actually think this song is ironic/sarcastic. I know even that many artists hate RIAA and say that piracy works like an advertisement - the ones who can/want buy it, would do it anyways, and RIAA just damages their income and counts it to damage caused by piracy. What do you think? Is this really what Al thinks? Or is he just laughing at it all?
gay or awsome? | Reviewer: Michelle | 11/24/2007
I think this song is ok. Part of me says this song rocks. The other part of me says i hate this song and it is really gay. What do you think?
I'm right , you're stupid. | Reviewer: Mark-who-is-never-wrong | 7/15/2007
Mr. I-spell-correcting-wrong,
You are wrong. The correct line is "Don't take away money". Your retarded version of his lyrics doesn't even make sense. The song is telling you not to download free music, so it goes with it telling you not to take away money from him, the artist. On a side note Weird Al truly has a great sense of humor because this song is available for download at his personal website. Oh, and this song is based on cheesy telethon theme songs, but not any song in particular.
