“Holding out for a hero” by Bonnie Tyler
Changed to
“I need a Yenta”
By Ross E F Lombardi as a spoof.
(I’d love some singer out there to do this spoof version)
.
[Intro]
Do-do, do-do
Do-do, do-do
Do-do, do-do
Ah, ah
.
[Verse 1]
Where have all the good Yenta’s gone and where are all the hope?
Where's the streetwise Matchmakers to fight the risin' odds?
Isn't there a love queen upon a fiery steed?
Late at night, I toss and I turn and I dream of what I need
.
[Chorus]
I need a Yenta
I'm holding out for a Yenta to make things right
She's gotta be smart and she's gotta be wise
Because dating apps are Shite
I need a Yenta (yenta)
I'm holding out for a Yenta to make things right (yenta to make things right)
She's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon
And she's gotta be larger than life, larger than life
.
[Post-Chorus]
Do-do, do-do
Do-do, do-do
Do-do, do-do
Ah, ah
.
[Verse 2]
Somewhere after midnight in my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach, there's someone looking out for me
Full of romantic knowledge and rising with the dawn
It's gonna take a Super-fixer to stop me being alone, yeah
.
[Chorus]
I need a Yenta
I'm holding out for a Yenta to make things right
She's gotta be smart and she's gotta be wise
Because dating apps are Shite
I need a Yenta (yenta)
I'm holding out for a Yenta to make things right (yenta to make things right)
She's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon
And she's gotta be larger than life, larger than life
.
[Instrumental Break]
.
[Bridge]
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I wish there there was someone, somewhere watching me
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel this need like a fire in my blood
(Like a fire in my blood, like a fire in my blood)
(Like a fire in my blood, like a fire in my blood, blood)
[Chorus]
I need a Yenta
I'm holding out for a Yenta to make things right
She's gotta be smart and she's gotta be wise
Because dating apps are Shite
I need a Yenta (yenta)
I'm holding out for a Yenta to make things right (yenta to make things right)
She's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon
And she's gotta be larger than life, larger than life
.
[Chorus]
I need a Yenta
I'm holding out for a Yenta to make things right
She's gotta be smart and she's gotta be wise
Because dating apps are Shite
I need a Yenta (yenta)
I'm holding out for a Yenta to make things right (yenta to make things right)
She's gotta be sure and it's gotta be soon
And she's gotta be larger than life, larger than life
I need a heroine
I'm holding out for a heroine to make things right

END NOTE:
I’d love some singer out there to do this spoof version
Or I will have to resort to singing it myself! - On a Tick-Tok
And no one, sane, with ears wants THAT!
