Here's A Song That Makes Me Laugh Every Time I Hear It

I had to post the lyrics too!




Well, I guess it was back in ’63
When eatin’ my cookin’ got the better of me,
So I asked this little girl I was goin’ with to be my wife.
Well, she said she would, so I said “I do”.
But I’da said I wouldn’t if I’da just knew
How sayin’ “I do” was gonna screw up all of my life!
Well, the first few years weren’t all that bad –
I’ll never forget the good times we had
‘Cause I’m reminded every month when I send her the child support.
Well, it wasn’t too long till the lust all died,
And I’ll admit I wasn’t too surprised
The day I come home and found my suitcase sittin’ out on the porch.
Well, I tried to get in – she changed the locks!
Then I found this note taped on the mailbox
That said, “Goodbye, turkey! My attorney will be in touch!” Mm-hmm…
So I decided right then and there
I’s gonna do what’s right – give her her fair share.
But brother – I didn’t know her share’s gon’ be THAT much!
She got the gold mine! She got the gold mine!
I got the shaft. I got the shaft.
They split it right down the middle,
And then they give her the better half.
Well, it all sounds sorta funny,
But it hurts too much to laugh.
She got the gold mine - I got the sha-a-aft.

Now, listen – you ain’t heard nothin’ yet:
Why, they give her the color television set,
Then they give her the house, the kids, and both of the cars! See?
Well, then they start talkin’ ‘bout child support,
Alimony, and the cost of the court –
Didn’t take me long to figure out how far in the toilet I was!
I’m tellin’ ya, they have made a mistake
‘Cause it adds up to more than this cowboy makes!
Besides; everything I ever had worth takin’, they’ve already took!
While she’s livin’ like a queen on alimony,
I’m workin’ two shifts eatin’ baloney,
Askin’ myself, “Why didn’t you just learn how to cook?!?!”
They give her the gold mine! She got the gold mine!
They give me the shaft. I got the shaft.
They said they’re splittin’ it all down the middle,
But she got the better half.
Well, it all sounds mighty funny,
But it hurts too much to laugh.
She got the gold mine - I got the sha-a-aft.

Well, she got the gold mine! She got the gold mine!
I got the shaft. I got the shaft.
They split it all down the middle,
And then they give her the better half.
Well, I guess it all sounds funny, Hoo, hoo, hoo, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
But it hurts too much to laugh.
She got the gold mine - I got the sha-a-aft.
(They ain’t kiddin’ me – I got the shaft.)

Well, I don’t have to worry ‘bout totin’ a billfold n’more.
Hahahahaha…
I let my wife tote it; I’mon’ be carryin’ food stamps –
You get it, judge? I’mon’ be… Just… Hahahaha…
Ah, it’s not funny, huh? Huh? Huh?
Contempt of court? Whaddaya mean?
Listen, judge: I’s just kiddin’!

New Project Site Up

Hey peeps,

Here is another project that has been keeping me busy. I have teamed up with some hip hop artists (beat fanatics) over the past few months and have been producing a whole line of music for sale online. I am not directly selling these but do get a cut of the sales. I am merely hired for the musicality portion of it (so basically I write all the music outside of the drum beats). Have a listen @ www.myspace.com/highdryproductionscanada

Yes, I Am Still Alive And Kicking....

Being on the road can be real tough on the body - that is if you had to drive 15 hours through the night to reach your destination. I just got back from North Carolina about a week ago and I had a blast. Southern hospitality is a REAL concept. I was pleased to see how welcoming the community was of us Canadians (my girlfriend and myself) She performed at the Dream Acres Music Festival. We stayed in Roanoke Rapids, NC and we managed to take in some sights while we were there. We did enjoy the warmth as it is getting a little cool up here in Canada. We are now into the Fall season (as why I am excited to get out of here to Hawaii for a few weeks in December).

Aside from all of that, I have been immersing myself in my music projects as always, but have been trying real hard to come on here and chat with everyone. Kinda sucks when once upon a time, I was a regular chatter, now a faded memory I certainly haven't forgotten all of you, and if I had the time to come on here, I would. Life calls from time to time and I must answer it.

If you wanted to stay in touch more often, you can also find me here. Add me and say hello.

I'M GOING TO THE GRAMMY AWARDS!

Well, this summer is definitely going to be a hard one to top - maybe this year even. As some of you know, I have been doing a lot of travelling lately around Canada and the US. Next month I am hitting up New York City and then spending a few days down in North Carolina as my girlfriend promotes her new album. Not to mention I will be in Hawaii for 2 weeks in December for a little R&R. Well, my girlfriend just gave me my early birthday gift today (which is not until February) She ended up getting me an extra ticket to go with her to the Grammy Awards in February 2011! This means I will be attending the actual ceremonies with backstage passes to ALL, yes ALL the afterparties and private shindigs. Too much to look forward to. Keys on the red carpet? Never thought I'd see the day.
