Gone Goomba

Just wrote this ode to Toad. It's based on the tune to Gone Country by Alan Jackson.
GONE GOOMBA
He's been playin' folk music all his life without much direction.
But fungus has grown over the town just like an infection.
He's noticed how everything has only gotten worse since Koopa's been Kinging.
Says "Now that's just the kind of song I ought to be singing."
But the cops come by and haul him away.
He'll change his tune by the end of the day.
He's gone Goomba, reptile head.
He's gone Goomba, jacket's all red.
He's gone Goomba, looks vaguely inbred
He's gone Goomba, here he comes!
He's been roaming up and down the Tower halls guarding Princess Daisy.
A routine so dull it would drive a less de-evolved man crazy.
She's rejected the slabs of meat he brought to her cell, wants veggies or melon,
And a part of his old self perks up at this little rebellion.
In the depths of his mind this thought has been had,
"Yeah, I may be green, but I aint all bad!"
He's gone Goomba, look at them boots.
He's gone Goomba, spikes on his suit.
He's gone Goomba, the big hearted brute.
He's gone Goomba, here he comes!
He's been de-evolved for less than a day but his heart is turning,
'Cause only the Princess was kind enough to stop him from burning.
He's been thinking as hard as his tiny brain will allow since h'e gotten dumber.
Says "Me like Daisy and want help her and her friends the plumbers."
And just like that his programming's undone.
Knows just where to find some Devo guns.
He's gone Goomba, still scary but kind.
He's gone Goomba, left Koopa behind.
He's gone Goomba, controls his own mind.
He's gone Goomba, here he comes!
