"Shape of You" Parody

Shape of You

The club isn't the best place to find a lover
So the bar is where I go
Me and my friends at the table doing shots
Drinking fast and then we talk slow
Come over and start up a conversation with just me
And trust me I'll give it a chance now
Take my hand, stop, put Van the Man on the jukebox
And then we start to dance, and now I'm singing like

 

Girl, you know I want your love
Your love was handmade for somebody like me
Come on now, follow my lead
I may be crazy, don't mind me
Say, boy, let's not talk too much
Grab on my waist and put that body on me
Come on now, follow my lead
Come, come on now, follow my lead

 

I'm in love with the shape of you
We push and pull like a magnet do
Although my heart is falling too
I'm in love with your body
And last night you were in my room
And now my bedsheets smell like you
Every day discovering something brand new
I'm in love with your body

 

Oh—I—oh—I—oh—I—oh—I
I'm in love with your body
Oh—I—oh—I—oh—I—oh—I
I'm in love with your body
Oh—I—oh—I—oh—I—oh—I
I'm in love with your body
Every day discovering something brand new
I'm in love with the shape of you

 

One week in we let the story begin
We're going out on our first date
You and me are thrifty, so go all you can eat
Fill up your bag and I fill up a plate
We talk for hours and hours about the sweet and the sour
And how your family is doing okay
Leave and get in a taxi, then kiss in the backseat
Tell the driver make the radio play, and I'm singing like

 

Girl, you know I want your love
Your love was handmade for somebody like me
Come on now, follow my lead
I may be crazy, don't mind me
Say, boy, let's not talk too much
Grab on my waist and put that body on me
Come on now, follow my lead
Come, come on now, follow my lead

 

I'm in love with the shape of you
We push and pull like a magnet do
Although my heart is falling too
I'm in love with your body
And last night you were in my room
And now my bedsheets smell like you
Every day discovering something brand new
I'm in love with your body

 

Oh—I—oh—I—oh—I—oh—I
I'm in love with your body
Oh—I—oh—I—oh—I—oh—I
I'm in love with your body
Oh—I—oh—I—oh—I—oh—I
I'm in love with your body
Every day discovering something brand new
I'm in love with the shape of you

 

Come on, be my baby, come on
Come on, be my baby, come on
Come on, be my baby, come on
Come on, be my baby, come on
Come on, be my baby, come on
Come on, be my baby, come on
Come on, be my baby, come on
Come on, be my baby, come on

 

I'm in love with the shape of you
We push and pull like a magnet do
Although my heart is falling too
I'm in love with your body
Last night you were in my room
And now my bedsheets smell like you
Every day discovering something brand new
I'm in love with your body

 

Come on, be my baby, come on
Come on, be my baby, come on

 

I'm in love with your body
 

Come on, be my baby, come on
Come on, be my baby, come on
 

I'm in love with your body
 

Come on, be my baby, come on
Come on, be my baby, come on

 

I'm in love with your body
 

Every day discovering something brand new
I'm in love with the shape of you

Carrot Crew

The world isn’t the best place to be a ginger,

So I have nowhere to go

Have you heard of Prince Harry he’s really hot,

And it’s not just cause of his flow
Are you really gonna judge us just on the colour of our hair,
So please come on and just be fair, now

Don’t get me angry, stop, you wish you had these locks.

Time to take a good glance, and now I’m saying like,

 

Hey I know I have red hair,

But I really hope you’ll like me for just for me

Come on now, others agreed

I may be ginger, don’t hate me

Hey girl, it’s okay to touch

Just ‘cause I’m ging doesn’t mean you can judge me

Come on now, others agreed

Come, come on now, get to know me

 

Have you heard of Archie Andrews?

He is a ginger you would still do

He stays away from the sun too

Have you heard of Ron Weasly?

And Annie doesn’t have a room,

Her orphanage was falling through

Everyday discovering the real truth

Freckles all on our bodies

 

Oh-i-oh-i-oh-i-oh-I

Bullied in junior high

Oh-i-oh-i-oh-i-oh-i
And I don’t even know why

Oh-i-oh-i-oh-i-oh-i
Maybe because I was shy

Everyday discovering I’m not like you

Red roots are just how my hair grew
 

Thirty years in, red hair grows from my chin

Don’t you think it’s a little late?

Hair on my feet, on my body, there’s so much heat,

And our carpets match our drapes

I cried for hours and hours about my hair in the shower

I’ll lie and say it is a strawberry shade

Please don’t call me a gingy; red hair isn’t for me

Tell all my fellow gingers I say hey, now I’m screaming like,

 

Hey, you know I don’t wear red

Because it blends too much with my hair and me

Come on now, black is the key

I can’t wear colours, sucks for me

Hey there, please don’t stare too much
and don’t hop on the bandwagon and hate me

Come on now, why can’t you see

I may be ginger, but I’m still me

 

Us carrot tops are a crew,

Kick a ginger day isn’t new,

November 20th is our doom,

Please please help us somebody

We are hiding in the bathroom,

Getting a kick is overdue,

Discovering maybe were not just like you
Got to protect my body

 

Oh-i-oh-i-oh-i-oh-i

The girls always just pass by

Oh-i-oh-i-oh-oh-i

I never get a reply

Oh-i-oh-i-oh-i-oh-i

I’m always left high and dry
Every single day I am thinking about you,

Dreaming until you say I do

 

Full Moon? Need to put sunblock on

Chinese Ginger? Never seen one

Come on, there’s an orange crayon?

No one uses that one, come on

Time to go to the hair salon,

I want the red to be all gone

My best friends name is red Don,

Thank god they don’t call me red Sheeran

 

The sun a very scary view,

Pale, freckles, red hair is how we grew

Still wishing this was not true,

Sunscreen I always apply

When I walk in its like boom,

Orange colour up in this due

Still trying to escape this shit sad cocoon,

I want to be a butterfly

 

Still looking for my soul, it’s gone

I need help to find a new one

 

Satin’s got nothing on me

 

Got my hair died at the salon

The ging didn’t turn to blonde

 

Being pale is a hobby

 

Have to get to school before dawn

Still get wedgie’s on the school lawn

 

Being ging sucks I won’t lie

 

Everyday discovering I’m not like you,

Us carrot tops are a crew
