Nice to see you
What’s your name?
You’re in jail for a thousand things
Murder, creeping, taking kids
Saw you there and I thought
Hey, Ryuk, look at that face
This looks like his last mistake
Death's a game; want to play?

Sharpened pencil, filled-up page
I can write faster than they die
It’s the endgame, L is caged
He’ll never know the deed is mine
So, hey, show me your name
Kira’s rising straight to fame
I’ll grab my pencil, chip in hand
‘Cause I can make the bad guys gone by the weekend

So it’s gonna be by hanging?
Or maybe by a truck accident
Count to 40 and it’s ending
You’re lucky it’s not disfigurement
Got a long list of dead people
While all L does is eat cake
‘Cause he knows I’m too smart for him
We’re just not the same

‘Cause I’m young and attractive
I’ll deceive you with my charm
It’ll only take a match and
You’ll burn without regard
Got a long list of dead people
L would tell you I’m insane
But I’ve got a Death Note, baby
And I’ll write your name

Red lips, crimson eyes
You could help me with a million things
More pages, another crime
I’m a god but the book's my means
Find out who I am
Try to see past my plan
L, your end, is in my hand, oh yes

Fighting, hating, useless ends
You won’t beat me that easily
Masks painted, armed as friends
Keep L second-guessing, like
“Oh my god, this can’t be
He just said Shinigami”
You’ll be stuck with the clues I leave
‘Cause, L, I’m your nightmare dressed like a daydream

So is it gonna be by hanging?
Or are you gonna go down in chains?
40 seconds and it’s over
Your crimes are worth your pain
Got a long list of dead people
No one knows Kira’s real name
‘Cause you know I love the challenge
And L loves his games

‘Cause I’m young and I’m blameless
They don’t suspect a thing
What’s a little justice?
In exchange for a new king?
Got a long list of dead people
Won't stop until the world is free
And I’ve got a blank space, maybe
So I’ll write your name

Humans only want peace if it’s painless
Don’t say I didn’t say, I didn't warn them
Humans only want peace if it’s painless
Don’t say I didn’t say, I didn't warn them

So it’s gonna be by murder?
Or you’re gonna go under a train
40 seconds and it’s over
I think it was worth your pain
Got a long list of dead people
L will tell you I’m insane
But you know I’ll never let him
He won’t win this race

‘Cause I’m the son of the chief
I’ve got the highest grades
I dated Misa Amane
So there’s no way I’m gay
I got a long list of ex-criminals
Yet I’m gonna win this game
I’ve still got a blank space, Ryuzaki

And I’ll write your name
So, this was a lot of fun to write. Like, A LOT of fun. So I hope all of you Death Note fans like this. Or Taylor Swift fans. I found the idea by reading Youtube comments that said something like, "Oh my god this song sounds like Death Note!" And I was thinking, "Oh my god, it does!"  


Here's the original Taylor Swift song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-ORhE…

NOTE: If for some reason you would like to post this somewhere, please ask me first (and credit me of course). :)

Seriously though, Taylor. "I got a blank space, baby, and I'll write your name?" Totally Death Note.

This is one interesting song parody. I never imagined anyone could make a Taylor Swift song sound so sinister.

Have you ever heard of Weird Al Yankovic? He does great parodies of popular songs. But he always asks the singer/group for permission before he does so. I've written a few song parodies on this site, including "Mannheim Steamroller", "Solve It", and "Ignite Me", but Weird Al is a whole lot better at it than me.
