Bad Birthday Bash


Print songSend correction to the songSend new songfacebooktwitterwhatsapp

House all to myself
It was my birthday present
But total wrack and ruin
Soon became apparent

I just wanted a band
To play my favorite song
I thought that it would be mellow
But boy was I wrong

I thought they'd played the cowboy song, I heard it on the radio
I thought it could be mellow, but how could I know

I just wanted a band
To play my favorite song
I thought that it would be mellow
But boy was I wrong

Asked to bring some friends
They walked in with mohawks
As the band began to play
They started to throw rocks

Now, I thought that this was cool
'Til they threw me in the pool
The sofa must have missed me
'Cause now it sits here with me

I thought they'd played the cowboy song, I heard it on the radio
I thought it could be mellow, but how could I know

I just wanted a band
To play my favorite song
I thought that it would be mellow
But boy was I wrong

War declared on furniture
Still no mercy shown
Anything not nailed down
Was immediately thrown

Final damage toll
Is better left unspoken
By the time they left my house
There was nothing left unbroken

I thought they'd played the cowboy song, I heard it on the radio
I thought it could be mellow, but how could I know

I just wanted a band
To play my favorite song
I thought that it would be mellow
But boy was I wrong

House all to myself
It was my birthday present
But total wrack and ruin
now very much apparent

I just wanted a band
To play my favorite song
I thought that it would be mellow
But boy was I wrong
