Smells Like Love

Yankee candles burnin’ inside every room
you’re drifting down the hall leaving ghosts of your perfume
rose petals take you through the kitchen up the stairs
should you need to freshen up there’s a Dr Bronner's up there
Containers from the restaurant
reek like tandoori grill
I wash my hands in the kitchen sink
with cucumber Purell
everywhere you turn you sense
the aromas of romance
and I’m upwind with my own sense
that tonight i’ve got a chance
Smells like love
looks like you
sounds like the music only lovers produce
and it tastes so sweet
and it feels like suede
and if I had a sixth sense
I’d guess you’re spending the night at my place
as we walk in the bedroom my Glade automatic springs to life
washed my sheets this very week with Spring Meadow Tide
swear I can smell provitamins as you let down your hair
anticipation and body wash fill up the waiting air
Lilac Blossom candle wick
flickers in the light
I’ve spared no expense procuring
aromas of the night
everywhere you turn you smell
these odors of romance
and soon our deodorants will blend
and we’ll make our own scent
Smells like love
looks like you
sounds like the music of two lovers makin moves
and it tastes like heaven
and it feels just right
and if I had a sixth sense I’d say
all our dreams are comin true tonight

Gonna be working on somethin’

we’re gonna be
we’re gonna be
we’re gonna be working on somethin’
the glimmer in your eyes
I know what you’re thinkin’
put our heads together
let’s make a little plan
both our heads aworkin’
that sounds like a plan
& the plan is to start working on somethin’
Gonna be working on somethin’

Angel

never takes you long to get ready
never takes you long to get done up
but I could stand before this mirror
for 2 hours or for 2 minutes
and I would still look like I been hit by a truck
is it hot in here or am I just sweaty!?
Is it bright in here or is that just you
would you be sad if we departed
or do you have to drag me to another party
like we’re in Weekend At Bernies 2
I don’t need to say nothing
I’ll just be over here disintegrating
but you may wanna put a sign on me
that says he looks like this all the time just leave him be
Girl you look like an angel
standing next to a guy who just died
girl you look like angel
standing next to the corpse of a guy
are we on our way to heaven
did it hurt me when I died
will I look like this forever
are the lights in heaven bright
are there bouncers at the pearly gates
and would they let me inside with you
never takes you long to get ready
and no matter what I do I look like hell
you look like the bell of the ball and I look like
I weathered a fall from the tower where I swing under the bells
Girl you look like an angel
standing next to a guy who just died
girl you look like angel
standing next to the corpse of a guy
are we on our way to heaven
did it hurt me when I died
will I look like this forever
are the lights in heaven bright
are there quiet darkened corners
waiting on the other side
are there bouncers at the pearly gates
and would they let me inside with you

Fortunately for us
we can do what we want
it’s a free dang nation
and so we’re celebrating our love
but what if someone came to power
for whom love made their heart feel sour
lets say there’s written
by a federal commission
a law banning expressions of love
and every February there’s a
crackdown on the very sacred day
we set aside for this cause
I guess we’d have to give up all the comfort
of living in the status quo
I guess we’d lose our prominent social status
and who knows where we’d have to go
if it was a crime
to celebrate valentines
well then I guess I’d be a mafia guy
I’d have to check if you were wearing a wire
if it was a crime
to celebrate valentines
we’d be just like Bonnie and Clyde
hunted down and shot 500 times
I hope there’s no one out there with intentions to start
breaking every future politicians heart
so they all get elected
and mess it all up
infringing on all our expressions of love
so when I bring home chocolates
and give you a kiss
remember they could someday soon go and outlaw this
but if it was a crime
to celebrate valentines
well then I guess I’d be a mafia guy
my bouquet would make me a pariah
if it was a crime
to celebrate valentines
I would fail to comply
I would fail to comply

Men In Love Don't Judge

Honey I’m home from the grocery store
I picked up what you wanted and more
Oh I’m sorry for interrupting
I can see you’re busy doin something
Don’t mind me I’ll get outa your hair
put these away & disappear somewhere
should you need me just holler my name
But until then I will stay outa your way
Cuz today is a day that ends in a Y
which means my baby gets to do what
ever she likes
I let her play her video games
and I don’t give her guff
when her girls are on the phone
I keep my big mouth shut
when she wants a snack I say
is one bag enough
cuz I’m a man in love
and men in love don’t judge
Honey I’m home from working all day
downtown at the misery factory
looks like you haven’t left the bed
And I wouldn’t have it any other way
can i get you something from the fridge
tiramisu or a cold beverage
if you need me just a holler my name
until then I will be outta your way
cuz today is a day just all of the rest
where what my girl wants is what my girl gets
I let her watch her bad movies
and I don’t give her guff
I never search her search history
for weird stuff
I never ask her to clean
anything at all up
cuz I’m a man in love and men in love don’t judge
I’m a man in love and men in love don’t judge
if she wants to hog the living room all day
watching marvel movies in tattered old pjs
stumbling up at 3am reekin of barbecue lays
well that’s the woman I love and so she gets her way
I let her play her video games
and I don’t give her guff
when her girls are on the phone
I keep my big mouth shut
when she wants a snack I say
is one bag enough
cuz I’m a man in love
and men in love don’t judge
if she wants to watch a bad movie
I start the corn popping up
I never search her search history
for weird stuff

covered in
deep sea
delights we got

coconut
tempura battered
fried up
shrimp and grits
teriyaki
scampi pasta
biryani
jambalaya
tom yum soup
and cocktail just to name a few
shrimpin all night like a pair of maniacs
getting drunk on these little deep sea aphrodisiacs
tails up heads down
stewing in a pot you know
neighbors like to call the cops
when they see how much shrimp we got
we’re gonna have a shrimp night
all night
you and me we’re getting dressed up
to the nines
cocktail garlic butter peal and eat
baked boiled and brined
we’re gonna have a shrimp night
shrimp night
you know that’s right we will be
loving hugging kissing
lips and fingers glistening
neighbors don’t know what their missin’
but you know they will be listenin’ in
shrimp night all night
all you can eat until
the sunrise
that’s right
we’re gonna have a
shrimp night
all night
lover’s delight
shrimp night
the neighbors
got a cup to the wall
saying that’s too much shrimp
how they gonna eat it all
they’re moaning and slow dancing
with their shrimpy little hands
there oughta be some laws against
this kinda decadence
shrimp night we’re putting on our finest attire
shrimp night we’re eating all the shrimp we desire
some say it’s a fish
some say it’s a bug
but it’s the tiny little perfect bite of meat that we love
we’re gonna have a shrimp night
all night
you and me we’re getting dressed up
to the nines
cocktail garlic butter peal and eat
baked boiled and brined
we’re gonna have a shrimp night
shrimp night
you know that’s right we will be
loving hugging kissing
lips and fingers glistening
neighbors don’t know what they’re missin
but you know they will be listenin in
because they’re jealous
of the fact we’re living
decadently for the minute
lovers keeping our lives thrilling
filling up our bellies with the
most delicious creature living
dwelling underneath the ocean
small but worth all the commotion
crucial to the magic potion
boilin’ in the pot on top of the stove
it’s shrimp night all right baby let’s go
shrimp night all night
all you can eat until
the sunrise
that’s right
we’re gonna have ourselves a
shrimp night
all night
lover’s delight

I Got You A Shirt

good morning darling
Valentine’s is here
the Christmas for lovers
that comes once a year
and I know that you’re anxious
to see what you got
so finish your breakfast
and open this box
I got you a shirt
I got you a shirt
it says that you’re crazy
and it says where you work
it says you’re a leo
and I hope that that’s true
for valentines day I got you a shirt
from a Chinese factory that prints targeted merch
for valentines I got you a shirt about you
I hope that you like it
and I hope that it fits
I hope you like wearing
an informative list
and I hope you’re not angry
that it’s not diamonds or pearls
or something else you could give
to anyone in the world
no I got you a shirt
I got you a shirt
it mentions I’m awesome
and that you’re an introvert
it’s got hands where your boobs are
and it says that they’re mine
for Valentines day I got you a shirt
sorry there’s a line on there that calls you a jerk
for Valentines I got you the best shirt of all time
