The Wailing Song

LYRICS
So, you want to go wailing
Why would you want to do a thing like that?

The buffoon pulls out his harpoon
Shooting himself in the foot
Commence the wailing

You piss in your sink and then stop to think
“Wonder why I have disease?”
You foul your fowl because you’re chicken to change
Then stop to think, “Wonder why I have food poisoning?”

Am I thick
We’re why I’m sick

ABOUT THE SONG
Capo 1
Am
Am / Em
Am add F
Am / Dm / G / Am

Written and recorded on September 5, 6 and 7 in West Chester, Philadelphia, Ambler and Phoenixville, Pennsylvania.

It is a play on words about questioning both wailing and whaling… especially when the wailing is caused by whaling.
