Uh, don't know either of those. I was talking about the Proclaimers 500 Miles (I guess it is actually, "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) - "I would walk 500 miles and I would walk 500 more just to be the man who walked a thousand miles to fall down at your door...)
Oh, yeah.... the one I quoted with the line about "the local bar" is a parody of that one... But I heard the parody about a dozen times before I heard the original.
Here's the Chordie link to the Proclaimers version:

The old folk song is the other one I quoted. Try this Chordie link:

(Oh - here are the parody lyrics, if I have enough room):
500 Miles
by The Complainers
(parody of "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" by The Proclaimers)
If I wake up, Well you know I'm gonna be,
I'm gonna be the man who wakes up after 2.
When I go out, Well you know I'm gonna be,
I'm gonna be the man who doesn't tie his shoes.
When I get up, Well you know I'm gonna be,
I'm gonna be the man who's got an aching head.
After breakfast, Well you know I'm gonna be,
I'm gonna be the man who goes straight back to bed.
Chorus:
I could walk 500 miles, But that would make me too damn tired.
So I'll break down and I'll buy a car
So I can drive to the local bar.
If I'm working, Well you know I'm gonna be,
I'm gonna be the man who calls in sick for you.
When I call in, Well you know I'm gonna be,
I'm gonna be the man who says he's got the flu.
And my back hurts, And I'm coughing up some blood,
And when I pee I see my urine's turning blue.
When I stay home, Well you know I'm gonna be,
I'm gonna be the man who's watching his cartoons.
Chorus:
I'll be drinking (He'll be drinking)
You'll be buying (We'll be buying)
La la la la la la la la la la la.
I'll be smoking (He'll be smoking)
You'll be choking (We'll be choking)
La la la la la la la la la la la.
When I'm hungry, Well you know I'm gonna be,
I'm gonna be the man who's stopping in on you.
When I'm eating, Well you know I'm gonna be,
I'm gonna be the man who eats enough for two.
When I'm thirsty, Well you know I'm gonna be,
I'm gonna be the man who drinks down all your brew.
When I'm tired, Well you know I'm gonna be,
I'm gonna be the man who's sleeping next to you.
Chorus:
I'll be drinking (He'll be drinking)
You'll be buying (We'll be buying)
La la la la la la la la la la la.
I'll be smoking (He'll be smoking)
You'll be choking (We'll be choking)
La la la la la la la la la la la.
Chorus:
(Repeat Chorus)
