Name: Funny
Duration: P00H04M06S
Description: One of my favorite straight rock songs I've recorded. In a similar vein as "Pretty Boy Blues" from my first album, "Funny" is fairly involved from a recording standpoint. It's the first song I recorded that uses the piano for the instrumental solo break, and the piano solo is probably my favorite part of the song.

about

One of my favorite straight rock songs I've recorded. In a similar vein as "Pretty Boy Blues" from my first album, "Funny" is fairly involved from a recording standpoint. It's the first song I recorded that uses the piano for the instrumental solo break, and the piano solo is probably my favorite part of the song.

lyrics

She lied to me 'bout ninety times
I cried for the first eighty nine
But now I've turned the tables 'round
I sat her down and washed her mouth with soap
Ha ha ha lah-de-dah

She thought she had control of me
A hapless puppet on her string
But now I've turned it upside down
I left her at the end of her own rope
Ha ha ha lah-de-dah

Honey thought she was funny
But now she's running
Away from me

She knew I'd never done her wrong
I'd never aimed to do her harm
But now I'm shooting from the hip
I kissed the lips of every girl in town
Ha ha ha lah-de-dah

She thought she'd tell me all the rules
Her blinded feeble-minded fool
Now I'm captain of this ship
I stopped her and I dropped her anchor down
Ha ha ha lah-de-dah

Honey thought she was funny
But now she's running
Away from me
