To do this, you would be relying on the notion of "fair use," which doesn't always work the way you want. For example, to count as "parody," the new work must be a parody of the old work: you can change the lyrics of a song to make fun of the song, but changing the lyrics to make fun of anything else would require permission.

It also depends on what you mean by "publish;" in many cases, you would be advised to pay licensing fees for the original anyway. If possible, consult with your publisher's legal counsel before proceeding.

How is parody protected under copyright laws?

"Use in a parody of some of the content of the work parodied" has been regarded as fair use in court decisions; it is generally associated with the fair uses of critique and commentary. The parody must be satirizing the work itself: changing the lyrics of a song to mock the song itself has been found to be fair; changing the lyrics of a song to mock a politician, for example, has been found to be infringing.
