Incase you've never heard the song, or haven't heard it in a long time, I have added the real lyrics below and some sound files to give you the rhythm.
Sound Files:

A guy named Future Man sings another parody:
My Parody:
The problem is all the fics I've read said Hermione
Harry loved Mary Sue but she died so tragically
I'd like to bet you that a muggle too can see
There must be fifty ways to grieve your Sue-er
She said I'm really out of character and rude
Sure it's morbid but those stinking Mary Sues are always booed
So I'll sing a spoof
at the risk of being sued
There must be fifty ways to grieve your Sue-er
Fifty ways to grieve your Sue-er
Just slip 'er off a boat, n'float,
Ship 'er to Milan, Ron
Check 'er with a stake, Jake,
incase she comes back
Hop on the Knight Bus,
pretend she musta got lost
Seal 'er in a tin, Gin,
and label it peas
Drop 'er down a gorge, George,
mummify 'er head, Fred
Don't need to be mean, Dean,
just listen to me
Use a lot'a tape, Snape,
stick 'er to a wild ape
Just drop off the bo-dy,
or get yourself fleas
Awe Harry that Mary Sue was always such a pain
Sure she killed Voldemort with ease, but she was also slain
He said, I kinda figured that,
but could you please sustain
this spoof of "fifty ways"
He said why don't we both just leave her turning blue
And I believe, in the morning we can chuck her in the floo.
Then someone cursed him and we realized it probably was Sue
She must be seeking vengeance in the sequels
seeking vengeance in the sequels
Actual Lyrics:
The problem is all inside your head, she said to me
The answer is easy if you take it logically
I'd like to help you in your struggle to be free
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
She said it's really not my habit to intrude
Furthermore I hope my meaning won't be lost or misconstrued
So I repeat myself,at the risk of being crude
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover
Just slip out the back, Jack,
make a new plan, Stan
Don't need to be coy, Roy,
just listen to me
Hop on the bus, Gus,
don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee,
and get yourself free
Just slip out the back, Jack,
make a new plan, Stan
Don't need to be coy, Roy,
just listen to me
Hop on the bus, Gus,
don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee,
and get yourself free
She said it grieves me so to see you in such pain
I wish there was something I could do to make you smile again
I said, I appreciate that,
and could you please explain
About the fifty ways
She said, why don't we both just sleep on it tonight
And I believe, in the morning you'll begin to see the light
And then she kissed me and I realized she probably was right
There must be fifty ways to leave your lover
Fifty ways to leave your lover
