I wrote a set of parody lyrics for a Mustachian anthem after reading a post in Chedder Stacker's journal. I hope you enjoy it.
If you're not familiar with Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah, KD Lang sings my favorite version. "Grow Your Mustache" to the tune of "Hallelujah"
I heard there was a secret code
That Mustachians learned and it opens a road
You don't really care for objects do ya?
Well, it goes like this: Invest and save
You have the strength! You're not a slave!
My Money Man was blogging: "grow your mustache"
Grow your Mustache, Grow your Mustache
Grow your Mustache, Grow your Mustache
Your income was strong, but you needed proof
Your lifestyle was manicured and couth,
You were afraid frugality would overwhelm you
But you saw the need to start anew,
You found friends online, like Dr. Doom
And A Rebel Spy was coaxing: "grow your mustache"
Grow your Mustache, Grow your Mustache
Grow your Mustache, Grow your Mustache
Maybe you were here before,
You walked this road when you were poor,
You lived a life that brought great joy upon you
You miss that life, it felt so right,
Look Cheddar Stacker has seen the light!
He adds his voice to call you: "grow your mustache"
Grow your Mustache, Grow your Mustache
Grow your Mustache, Grow your Mustache
Your spouse might think it's all in vain,
Or maybe they, too, play the game,
And coworkers might see a change come from you
You might still think the word is crass,
But you secretly become BADASS
And quietly tend to your new growing mustache
Grow your Mustache, Grow your Mustache
Grow your Mustache, Grow your Mustache
We do our best, we know we must,
Our comments declaring: "FIRE or Bust!"
Mustachians speak the truth, we didn't fool ya
'Cause even if the market's poor,
We'll save our cash or make some more
Until finally we can smile and stroke our mustache
Grow your Mustache, Grow your Mustache
Grow your Mustache, Grow your Mustache
