Now, what stinks about this is that a huge chunk of the official lyrics are skipped from the performance, but what is extremely helpful for budding parodists is that the 2nd verse is first performed at a snail's pace, then performed at double speed. This should guide you as a pacing check for any of the verses you attempt.
Good luck and good writing!
