DBT #372 Monday Morning Song - Pet Peeves
When I saw Mike Ward compete in the Great River Folk Fest, I loved this song he shared. Gracious sometimes you have to hear it live to fall in love with it. Of course I found that Kyle Rasche and I have the same opinion, after the song we both told Mike to get over it. If you want to leave a short pet peeve in the comments, Mike might add them. Here it is live and recorded and WORDS to help you keep track if you have some of the same Pet Peeves.
Pet Peeves
CHORUS: what bugs me…kind of irks me
gets under my skin…irritates me to no end
rubs me the wrong way…annoys me every single day
got a gripe or two…got a bone to pick…got a side of beef with you
now here’s a few
the group texter…negativity projector
the gas passers…bullies and harassers
the story repeater…grocery line cheater
the food spitter…bar tab splitter
express lane slow driver…the always late arriver
movie talkers, pokey walkers, those generic pants called Dockers.
CHORUS: what bugs me…kind of irks me
gets under my skin…irritates me to no end
rubs me the wrong way…annoys me every single day
got a gripe or two…got a bone to pick…got a side of beef with you
now here’s a few more
the over sharer…bad toupee wearer
e-smokers…newly legal tokers
the i told you so-er…the what’s up there Bro-er.
Well deer tick bites…July Christmas lights
unpicked up dog dumps…oversized speed bumps
reply all senders…how do they make those chicken tenders.
BREAK: getting up in my face with really bad breath
drug ads that disclaim “it may cause death”
clear cut miles of forest call it The Preserve
if only insurrectionists would get what they deserve
Ticketmaster fees…empty rolls of TP
chip dip double dippers…stuck pant zippers
speakerphones in public spaces…over funded political races
daylight saving time…unprosecuted white collar crime
conspiracy nuts…cigarette butts…those nasty little paper cuts…
CHORUS: what bugs me…kind of irks me
gets under my skin…irritates me to no end
rubs me the wrong way…annoys me every single day
got a gripe or two…got a bone to pick…got a side of beef with you
we all got a a few pet peeves
including some we may misperceive.
think it’s time we all just get up and leave…with all of our pet peeves
gets under my skin…irritates me to no end
rubs me the wrong way…annoys me every single day
