MojoTwanger: Addition by subtraction (Original)

December 31, 2009

A tongue-in-cheek original song about family members that may or may not drive you crazy from time to time 🙂

Gear used:
Tom Anderson Crowdster
Bose L1 Compact
TC Helicon Harmony G

His father was a soldier, always on a mission
His mother had cancer, sometimes in remission
His brother was a loser, of his own admission
Hey Hank, some kind of family tradition!

His grandpa was an actor, with perfect dentition
His grandma was sober, not of her own volition
His uncles were deader than a war of attrition
Hey Hank, some kind of family tradition!

One cousin was thief, or as he called it a magician
another was looking for just one more audition
He never intended to become a mortician
But he killed them all, addition by substraction.

His sister was a writer, never made the first edition
His aunt was a realtor who can’t get a commission
His dog was a mutt, but not worth the munition
Like Mick said, I can’t get no satisfaction

One neighbor was a liar, I mean a politician
Another was a dreamer on a permanent vacation
His landlord was a shark w/ a bad heart condition
And his wife was… out of commission.

One cousin was a thief, or as he called it a magician
another was looking for just one more audition
He never intended to be a mortician
But he killed them all, addition by substraction.

So he went to the doctor and got a prescription
Bought new glasses from the local optician
He became an expert in human demolition
