A few days ago, my much-needed day off was interrupted by a snow day = classes canceled, library closed, everybody stay home. I kinda sorta made Drew leave the apartment and study somewhere else. I needed to write TWO songs, which necessitates a LOT of “Leave me alone and stay outta my head” time.

I felt bad about inspiring him to leave when answering “yes” to the question if unforeseen presence would bother me that day.

(sigh)

So, he wrote a song to make me feel better. And now I’m trying restrain my jealousy at how easily he churns this stuff out:

I am at Panera in a snowstorm
not in traffic honking my carhorn
my coffee is cold and I want a refill
but I’ve had enough and I need to be still

(Chorus):
naw uh, naw uh, readin my books and other stuff
Naw uh, naw uh, old people talking all kinds of fuss

this dude’s got a hat and a toothpick in his mouth
but the hat’s warm and fuzzy, not like in the South
-ern hemisphere is where the penguins live
flappin through the water like Flav o flav

Chorus again

Bridge:
Thiiiiiiiiiiiiss…is a totally different part of the song…
with a brand new tune, but I won’t let it rock on
We’re gettin baaaaaaaaaaaaack to the same refrain
you already heard it twice and now it’s comin again

Chorus again.
