Okay, I totally did this just to make people laugh, and I think it falls safely into the "parody" category because the chords are different, the chord progression is different and the melody is different, the meter is mostly different, and the syllabic count is mostly different, although in a few bars they are close.

However, if anyone thinks I have "gone too far" let me know. I see it as "reminiscent of" but tell me if I am wrong.

STAIRWAY TO SOMEWHERE

V1

I can see with my Druid eyes
That the green trees have not died
In the dark forests of old
In the Dragon’s Shire

And a new day will soon belong
For those who still still sing the sacred song
As they swim in the silver stream
Of believing

And the oceans will dream
Of a new world not seen
But reveals everything
We are thinking

OH…

Ch 1

So we’re searching the mist
For what is left there
And we’re dreaming of a stairway
to somewhere

V2

And we will meet at the June fair
In the sixth month of May
Though it makes sense to say
This has no meaning

But the jester will play
And the druids will pray
And the maids will give theirs
For the milking

In the mists of Avalon
The angel fairies sing a song
And they say that the evening
Is dawning

OH

V3

And the sky is upside down
And the queen wears the crown
Of the king who gave his
To the jester

OH

V4

So a bright light will surely shine
On the road to the Wizard’s shrine
Where the princess gives birth
To the morning

And then a new day will come
To those who come from
That dark castle we knew
Before forgetting

OH

SOLO

CH

Ch 2

So we’re searching the mist
For what is left there
And we’re dreaming of a stairway
to somewhere

So we’re searching the mist
For what is left there
And we’re dreaming of a stairway
to somewhere

dreaming of a stairway
to somewhere
