This Song Was A Strange One

This tune is a classic

Lots of fun for us to play

But it needed funny lyrics

And a message to convey

in a clever way. Yeah

Well I heard my wife, one day shouting

And I got an idea for the song

We’ve noticed raising several daughters

An interesting phenomenon, tryin’ to get along

Sweet home family drama

When the hormones start to grow

Sweet home family drama

Oh the tantrums they can throw

[guitar solo 1]

So families often tend to bicker (Boo, hoo, hoo)

But there’s another problem too

If you send your kids, off to public school

Repercussions might ensue

Here’s what you do

Sweet home school with mama

Help their grades, up their scores

Sweet home school with mama

They can learn, while doing chores, (mow the lawn, clean the kitchen)

[guitar solo 2]

Aah, ahh, ahh, family drama

Aah, ahh, ahh, school with mama

Aah, ahh, ahh, family drama

Aah, ahh, ahh, school with mama

The cost of living, it's been soaring

And the housing prices too (yes it's true!)

Oh that ticks me off so much

But there’s one other avenue

I might pursue

Street home in Tacoma

Dump the mortgage, skip the rent

Street home in Tacoma

I’ll be living in a tent

This song was a strange one (yes it was)

Different topics, every verse (getting gradually worse)

We’d sing different lyrics (oh yeah)

Every time that we’d rehearse (ohh, ooh)

Yeah, yeah

My friend Walker’s gonna jam!

[Piano solo]
