TiCats are Bummin'

Hopped off the bus
We must have been insane
I heard for 10 bucks
Carling would ease the pain

There's a man on the corner:
"who's buying who's selling?"
can this be legit?
the cops aren't telling

I wanna drink under the lights
blacking out on summer nights
If you give me excuses, if you give more crap,
I can't promise you that I won't snap

From the barber shop to the corner store
It's like the whole city's numbin'.
I came last week and the week before,
Feels like the Ticats are bummin'!

The Ticats are bummin'!

Saw some old friends
From down in Box J.
But ol' futility
Will take them away

We look so sad
at the end of the night
blown out like Pink Floyd
Back in '75.

I wanna drink under the lights
blacking out on summer nights
Around here folks like to say:
Wish the season was 1 game, on labour day

From the barber shop to the corner store
It's like the whole city's numbin'.
I came last week and the week before,
Feels like the Ticats are bummin'!

They were down 10 points
They were takin a beating
Please pass the joints
I got a bad feeling

Next round's on me
I wanna stay in bed
Next round's on me
One more I'll be dead!

I wanna drink under the lights
blacking out on summer nights
If you give me excuses, if you give more crap,
I can't promise you that I won't snap

If there a Juno Award for "Best & Fasted Alteration of Lyrics in a New Song" -- no question you'll be a nominee, Captain.

Nice one very catchy feel like dancing :smiley: :smiley:

Well done. Cap'n. The boys and I were just having a pop and crankin' that tune, substituting your lyrics. Funny stuff man.

WIFE!!! MORE CARLING!!! PROUD SPONSORS OF THE HAMILTON TIGERCATS!!!

as long as it doesn’t rain…al

Nice job Captain. :thup: You should have sang that at J Astors but you probably didn't have it written then. But you looked to me a natural under the lights, as they say. :lol:

Old Fan!!! Nice of you to chime in. I thought the mods had locked your account for posting inflammatory comments. Apparently they showed you some leniency so maybe I should too. I forgive you.

Remember old fan, when you judge someone you don't define them, you define yourself.

You were the one using or insinuating some abusive language, all because those that responded to YOUR thread disagreed with you.

As far as locking anything, you had the threads removed, so I doubt it was anyone but you that had a problem.

As far as inflamatory is concerned, you used the words "sugarcube" and "princess" as a description for yourself, I simply agreed with them. You were "judging" yourself.

Forgive?? What's to forgive? You posted a thread and I offered an opinion. I didn't realize that on this forum everyone had to agree with EVERYTHING YOU SAY.

Very nice work, Cap'n. As a copy righted lyricist myself, I recognize your work as being quite good.

Hopefully this now well written timely verse and tune will be archived shortly and put on the shelves to collect dust, never to see the light of day again. :wink:
