X-MEN PARODY: A Little Prayer (Wolverine's Theme)

"A Little Prayer (Wolverine's Theme)"
from "X-Men"

Lyrics by John Aboud
Vocals by Marya Grandy
Music by Baron and Baron Productions

Cold shiny claws
Pop out from my paws
To slay the evil mutants,
But they can't stop
Anti-mutant laws
Which spread with such virulence.

Normal humans suspect
They'll be crushed like insects
Sometime in the near future.
Professor X
Calmly interjects
Our wise but crippled tutor.

My mutant chromosomes
And the strong metal in my bones
Help me fight Sentinel robot drones
And I heal very quickly.

We're special, see,
Born differently
The children of the Atom
Senator Kelly
Calls me "mutie"
He'll taste my adamantium.

Cut you down to size
Cream and murderize
Sabertooth like so much spinach.
Rays from Cyclops's eyes
Will finalize
Big fights I can not finish.

My mutant chromosomes
And the
Strong metal in my bones
Help me
Fight Sentinel robot drones
And I heal very quickly.

What was the name of the original song? I search for "Jewel" and "A Little Prayer" and don't see it.

[MattHawes]

@Curious2Dream, To tell you the truth, I don't know the name of the Jewel song being parodied. I hadn't even heard her song until the past six months. At first, I thought the song was just sang in the style of Jewel, but not actually based on her own song. If I find out the name of the song I will post it here. Thanks.

Hi! I'm glad you enjoy the video! I hope to do a new "Hawes Draws" within the next couple of weeks, if I get the time. Thanks!

[NeoLicks]

Great video but I thought Jewel wrote this

[MattHawes]

She wrote the original song which is being parodied. She didn't write this parody, though.

HANDS by Jewel

[TSLittleMermaid]

I'm not certain about the name of the Jewel song, but I recall seeing the video several years ago. The chorus went something like this:

"These hands are small I know

But they're not yours they are my own

No they're not yours they are my own

And I am never broken."

That does work for Wolverine.... ;)

[Curious2Dream]

"Cream and murderize Sabertooth like so much spinach." Just ran out of lyrics, or does that mean something? Murder him like spinach... The part about cyclops having to finish off big fights for him is funny, since that happens a lot. Wolverine jumps on something big and uses his claws awhile, then Cyclops blast it away with his eye beams.
