Stuck At The Potluck With You
Lyrics by Cory Smith, music by Stealer's Wheel (Stuck In The Middle With You)
There’s a reason why I came here tonight
There’s a reason why I came here tonight
It was to satisfy my huge appetite
It was to satisfy my huge appetite
And that band, they make me fall off my chair
And that band, they make me fall off my chair
With their silly songs, bad jokes, and fake hair
With their silly songs, bad jokes, and fake hair
Kids to the left of me
Kids to the left of me
Old folks to my right
Old folks to my right
Here I am stuck at the potluck with you
Here I am stuck at the potluck with you
Yes I'm, stuck at the potluck with you
Yes I'm, stuck at the potluck with you
They’ve got lemon curd hors d’ oeuvres, and beef stew
They’ve got lemon curd hors d’ oeuvres, and beef stew
It's so hard to keep a smile on my face
It's so hard to keep a smile on my face
Cause the jello salad had a strange taste
Cause the jello salad had a strange taste
Kids to the left of me
Kids to the left of me
Old folks to my right
Old folks to my right
Here I am stuck at the potluck with you
Here I am stuck at the potluck with you
Well we started out hungry
Well we started out hungry
But I think we might have gained some weight
But I think we might have gained some weight
We should post this all to TikTok
We should post this all to TikTok
Everybody sit up straight and say,
Everybody sit up straight and say,
“Cheese”
“Cheese”
“Cheese”
“Cheese”
Well the music is a little too loud
Well the music is a little too loud
Sixty-nine’s the average age in the crowd
Sixty-nine’s the average age in the crowd
I just saw ___ ___ ___ head for the door
I just saw ___ ___ ___ head for the door
She looked like she couldn’t take anymore
She looked like she couldn’t take anymore
Kids to the left of me
Kids to the left of me
Old folks to my right
Old folks to my right
Here I am stuck at the potluck with you
Here I am stuck at the potluck with you
Well before this song gets over
Well before this song gets over
We should make another TikTok reel
We should make another TikTok reel
This time strike a funny pose,
This time strike a funny pose,
Show your tongue or scrunch your nose and say
Show your tongue or scrunch your nose and say
Cheese (everybody!)
Cheese (everybody!)
Cheese
Cheese
Well I’m wondering what time this thing will end
Well I’m wondering what time this thing will end
And if it was a mistake to attend
And if it was a mistake to attend
Maybe next time will be better, I hope
Maybe next time will be better, I hope
If I had to guess though, I would say, “nope”
If I had to guess though, I would say, “nope”
Kids to the left of me
Kids to the left of me
Old folks to my right
Old folks to my right
Here I am stuck at the potluck with you
Here I am stuck at the potluck with you
Wish I’d thought of something better to do
Wish I’d thought of something better to do
They’ll want me to help clean up when it’s through
They’ll want me to help clean up when it’s through
Should have grabbed, an extra brownie or two
