Lyrics

Don’t stop me if you haven’t heard this one
For the next three minutes you’ll have no fun
cause this song came from my own pen
It ain’t the one about workin’ nine to five
or how I used my walk to stay alive
We’re not goin’ up around the bend

Cause I ain’t singin’ no cover song, sorry you can’t sing along
You’ll just have to sit there and frown
I ain’t claimin’ to be the piano man
I’ll leave it up to that guy Van
to tell you about the sun whose eyes were brown

I’m hopin’ you can nap, we chill
though we’re a thousand miles from Margaritaville
Sorry if your panties are all wadded up
or if you’re about to crush your red plastic cup
Still I can’t shoot, thrill, and I never play to kill

Cause I ain’t singin’ no cover song, sorry you can’t sing along
You’ll just have to sit there and stew
I ain’t claimin’ I’ve never been to Mexico
I didn’t know answers to how the windows blow
Ooh, who’s Jackie Boo?

So go on, fill up the commode or shake your beer till it explodes
You can roll your eyes till they stick that way
But only once will I spell G-L-O-R-I-A

Cause I ain’t singin’ no cover song, sorry you can’t sing along
You’ll just have to sit there and pout
I don’t care if you feel like we’re due to the other side, we ain’t breakin’ through
I’m too old to kick up my heels and it burns my throat to shout

Sorry if I’ve ruined your night, my mom thinks this song’s alright
But she don’t disapprove of much I do
So when you write your online review, please remember, she reads them too
She ain’t one to mess with in a fight, in fact she’s here tonight
That’s her clutchin’ that big sharp knife
She won’t even let you say the words, wasn’t me shoutin’ them free birds
Before she’ll do away with your complainin’ life

Cause I ain’t singin’ no cover song, sorry you can’t sing along
You’ll just have to sit there and whine
I don’t pine for Jesse’s squeeze, make my burger without cheese
Signs, signs everywhere, scratch that, I can’t see signs
I can’t see the signs, I can’t see the signs
