about

aka The Brewery Song

I play a lot of restaurants and breweries. These are the kind of soul sucking gigs that are most musicians bread and butter, mine included, and I'm grateful to get to play them. I call them soul-sucking because there is no exchange of energy between you and the audience, You are doing all the giving, usually because no one is actively listening to you. There is no need to tell any stories. Just shut up and play monkey-boy,Your job is to be there to provide pleasant background noise and ambiance.

I wrote this song as a bellwether just to see if anyone was actually actively listening. If I play it and I get no reaction by the end of the 2nd verse, then I know that no one is paying attention and I can play whatever the hell I want.

lyrics

There ain't nobody in here listening to me
I like to write my name in the snow when I pee
But my peckers too short so I piss on my feet
And there ain't nobody here listening to me

Aint nobody listening and I don't really care
And I like to wear my wife's underwear
Then I'll put on a wig and pretend that I'm Cher
Naw There ain't nobody listening and I don't really care


I can sing what ever words that I please
Like your sister makes her money when shes down on her knees
washing dirty dogs and getting rid of fleas
and there ain't nobody in hear listening to me

The words they don't matter, they just want that beat
you can't have no puddin if you don't beat your meat
and I've got psoriasis and athletes feet
and there ain't nobody in here listening to me


I write these words and I make them rhyme
I play with the tempo and work out the time
then I wash my ass in hot turpentine
strike a match brother and see me fly

Aint nobody in hear listening to me
they're all too busy talking and watching TV
Just as long they keep drinking and they tip when they leave
I don't really care if they're listening to me
