Wavis O'Shave

"Don't Crush Bees To Death With Your Walking Stick"

Don't crush bees to death with your walking stick,
No no no no no na no na no.
If you crush those bees, you'll bring me to my knees,
If you crush those bees I think I'm gonna be sick.
So don't crush bees to death with your walking stick,
No no no no no na no na no.
Imagine Mother Bee, when she's comin' home to tea,
And Baby Bee is conspicuous by absence,
Lalala lalalalalala.

Wavis also wrote such gems as "Mauve Shoes Are Awful."
And "You Think You're A Woman Because You Don't Eat Fish Cakes."

the dead kennedys: "take this job & shove it~ i ain't working here no more!"
so one morning i was opening the natural food store where i work & was rockin' out to a cd i had made before i actually opened the store, and the second my boss walked in the back door that song came on :) it was pretty hilarious! (i do still work there, however ;)

Dead Kennedys: Soup is Good Food. I love this song.

We're sorry
But you're no longer needed
Or wanted
Or even cared about here
Machines can do a better job than you
This is what you get for asking questions

The unions agree
'Sacrifices must be made'
Computers never go on strike
To save the working man you've got to put him out to pasture

Looks like we'll have to let you go
Doesn't it feel fulfilling to know
That you-the human being-are now obsolete
And there's nothing in hell we'll let you do about it

Soup is good food-(We don't need you any more)
You made a good meal-(We don't need you any more)
Now how do you feel-(We don't need you any more)
To be shit out our ass
And thrown in the cold like a piece of trash

We're sorry
You'll just have to leave
Unemployment runs out after just six weeks
How does it feel to be a budget cut?
You're snipped
You no longer exist

Your number's been purged from our central computer
So we can rig the facts
And sweep you under the rug
See our chart? Unemployment's going down
If that ruins your life that's your problem

Soup is good food-(We don't need you any more)
You made a good meal-(We don't need you any more)
Now how do you feel-(We don't need you any more)
To be shit out our ass
And thrown in the cold like a piece of trash

We're sorry
We hate to interrupt
But it's against the law to jump off this bridge
You'll just have to kill yourself somewhere else
A tourist might see you
And we wouldn't want that

I'm just doing my job, you know
So say uncle
And we'll take you to the mental health zoo
Force feed you mind-melting chemicals
Till even the outside world looks great

In hi-tech science research labs
It costs too much to bury all the dead
The mutilated disease-injected
Surplus rats who can't be used anymore

So they're dumped (with no minister present)
In a spiraling corkscrew dispose-all unit
Ground into sludge and flushed away
Aw geez!

Soup is good food-(We don't need you any more)
You made a good meal-(We don't need you any more)
Now how do you feel-(We don't need you any more)
To be shit out our ass
And thrown in the cold!

We know how much you'd like to die
We joke about it on our coffee breaks
But we're paid to force you to have a nice day
In the wonderful world we made just for you
"Poor Rats", we human rodents chuckle
At least we get a dignified cremation
At yet
At 6:00 tomorrow morning
It's time to get up and go to work
