Mangy varmint (a new original)
Hi all,
I hope you're all doing great this spring. As a park busker, I've gotten into some strange situations. This one dude last week inspired this song. I hope you get a laugh out of it!
lyrics:
At first you seemed like a friendly dude
The you turned lascivious and lewd
And so I wrote this song for you
Oh you mangy varmint stay away from me
Oh you mangy varmint you're not foolin' me
You're a snake in sheep's clothing
Have no right to be, wiggling your ugly tongue
For all the world to see, ew!
Oh you mangy buzzard, why you cross my path?
A sad wretched s.o.b. to think I'd wipe your ass
Wake up and smell the coffee
You don't rule the world
Your mama left you in the woods
And you forgot to go to school, hey!
Mangy mangy varmint you deluded fool
Mangy mangy varmint, don't you know the rules
You act so entitled, a gift tto the human race
When you're a lame horndog, a pathetic disgrace
Stay off my butt, you stinkin' skunk ..... leave me in peace
Oh you mangy horndog, don't you bother me
Go find a tree to hump, but get up off my knee
I ain't a cheap whore from a mail order catalogue
I'm here to walk my greatest path and won't kiss any frogs, hey!
Mangy mangy varmint you deluded fool
Mangy mangy varmint, don't you know the rules
You act so entitled, a gift to the human race
When you're a lame horndog, a pathetic disgrace
Oh you mangy varmint, you have no rights to me
You're a sorry rotten tater who can't see clearly
I hate to break it to you, but you don't turn me on
You stink from too much moonshine, you crazy son of a gun!
Oh you mangy dog, get away from me
You say you want to cuddle, but that's downright creepy
Are you hearing what I have to say?
Or are you deaf the livelong day?
Find yourself a juicy bone
Cause your wife's soon coming home!
Mangy mangy varmint you deluded fool
Mangy mangy varmint, don't you know the rules
You act so entitled, a gift tto the human race
When you're a lame horndog, a pathetic disgrace
Oh oh nasty dog, stay away from me
You have too many fleas
Hey!

Well I'm glad you can laugh about it! I guess you're going to come across all types. Nice that you can turn that into something creative!

A lovely catchy song that playfully addresses a nasty reality. I love your artistic outlook: a determined smile in the face of life's problems. I really enjoyed the lyrics to this, the various animal metaphors (the snake/sheep line being my favourite) really sold the song alongside your cheery 'Hey's which acted as powerfully defiant full stops, in a joyously daft way.
Keep flying free Paulina,

Thank you, CCB! I have to tell you the whole experience was so ridiculous, that I had to make it fun and funny. Happy that you enjoyed it. I'll see how it evolves over time.

I take it this is about some creep behaving very inappropriately towards you in the park. I like the song and the attitude! I think it might be more effective if, alongside all the animal metaphors, you painted more of a picture of the creep in question to let us visualize the scene. A kind of, "Look at you with your....." sort of thing. The fact that Elvis thought it was about a dog reinforces this. You do some of this with the opening lines and the "wiggly tongue," but maybe there's room for a bit more of it?
Just a thought. I enjoyed it as it is.

Awesome song Paulina!! There's some lizzards out there for sure, but a slice of fun is maybe the coolest way to cope with it. That guy may not understand your song, but I certainly do. Keep em comin'😀

Many thanks all. The reason I don't delve more into the details of this varmint is that it is distasteful for me to do so and animal metaphors are the most endearing way to describe him. I saw him again last night and he kept his distance. Maybe he kind of felt I had written something truthful about him. Ha ha.
