Cussin' Island
(专辑: Life On The Flip Side - 2020)
Hello, kiddies No, it's not Mr. Rogers It's Jimmy, with a
little tale Maybe you'll like this I
know, I
never should have written this song I
know, I'm in trouble if your kids sing along I
hope you don't misconstrue This could be my waterloo if you do And I
know, the
same thing could happen to you Cruising down the
coast of Panama with my kids Snorkeling with the
stingrays, 'cudas and the
squids Things were going way too well All of a
sudden heaven turned into hell If you dare to venture out on the
ocean It's unavoidable to face some commotion My kids were fighting on the
foredeck What the
hell would Huck Finn do? Hey young lady did I
just hear you call your brother a
stupid little shit? You know you're not allowed to use those words Now apologize lickety split That's why I'm taking you to Cussing Island Heading this boat south I
think you should know That's where I
met Cousteau And we will work on your potty mouth And when we get to Cussing Island I'm gonna drop you on the
beach Anchor way out, get ready for the
bout And watch you exercise your freedom of speech At first they looked a
little frightened and dismayed Just like those weird contestants on Naked and Afraid It started with a
smirk then the
dirty words came gushing I
saw dolphins swimming by, even they were blushing I
stood there on the
bow feeling like a
hypocrite As they fired unholy salvos Like a
German Messerschmitt And they cussed horseflies, homework, Taliban, and Barney Piano lessons, etiquette sessions, waking up too early Making beds, taking meds, invasion of our space They kept it up until they both turned blue in the
face World on our shoulders Feeling like boulders We're tired, please give us a
hand This is some weird shit Cussing ain't worth it Let's bury those words in the
sand Downwind, I
could hear every word loud and clear Having second thoughts of bringing them here It was just a
split second decision Their repertoire was never envisioned Past time to put an exit plan into gear Time flies now all my little pirates are grown Soon they'll be raising buccaneers of their own Do I
think they learned a
lesson Or was it just a
silly ass show Well the
answer is part of the
problem The
simple truth, fuck no That's why we have to have Cussing Island Our rally point and rendezvous I've sailed many a
mile, collected millions of smiles And I
know the
same thing could happen to you That's right it could happen to you And you know where it could happen Cussing Island
