July 10: Facebook friends ...


There’s a good show on the ABC, on Friday nights at eight
It’s kind of like a fishing show, but without the usual bait
Out there on the Internet, you should take care not to get hooked
And the people who will pass you by, they’re all on FaceBook

A bloke named Neeve, but he spells it Nev, it doesn’t matter much
He’s made a documentary about people who have been touched
By those profiles there on FaceBook that are not always what they seem
But do beware of who you "friend" while you’re searching for your dream

Every chick’s a stunner, and every bloke's a new Brad Pitt
Blonde, blue eyed with a gorgeous bod, that girl she is a hit
Dark hair, bulked up, the square jaw look, each bloke a Clooney clone
But just beware when you befriend her, and you only meet by phone

It’s called Catfish and it goes like this, you get a message from the blue
That girl with the stunning figure, she wants to get it on with you
“Oh wow” you think, she loves me true, so happy you're in love
She draws you in with her pretty eyes, and you fit like hand in glove

Months then years they pass you by, a huge investment in emotion
It rules your life, one day she’ll be your wife, she repeats her devotion
But she will not meet you, or get on Skype, you question but continue
All the time you are just wondering, what this woman might see in you

Then one day young Nev turns up, and helps you burst your bubble
His TV documentary he says might get you out of trouble
He makes some calls, it seems so simple, you could have done all this
Your perfect mate comes to the door, and you forget about the bliss

That five-foot four slim beauty queen is not quite what you had thought
She is quite round, but not a sound, she looks like she’s been caught
But is could be worse, and as you curse, you think what you have missed
If Jenny had been Benny, you would really have been quite pissed

You’ve been had, by this FaceBook cad, who said that she was so pretty
An overweight unattractive liar, can she tell that you’re quite shitty
Your life of bliss, it’s gone up in smoke, you really are quite miffed
Don’t despair, you’re not the first, to have been right royally Catfished
