Topic: Putting Off Shopping

This song was just a bit of fluff I put together before going to bed tonight just because I sleep better after writing a song for some reason. Nothing to serious but a fun little song or at least it was fun for me. Enjoy!

Putting off Shopping By Jeff Gilpin


September 23rd, 2007




Intro


[C] [F] [C] [G] [G7]




Verse 1


[C]Looking at an empty socket


In my overhead [F]light


I got nothing much [C]better to do


Home on a Saturday [G]night


I [C]might go get a few light bulbs


Change out the ones that are [F]dark


So I might [C]take a midnight [G]stroll


Down [F]to the convenient [C]mart [C7]




Chorus 1


Where I could get [F]light bulbs


Or some cold [C]brew


Some [G]nacho chips


Or a [C]diet mountain [C7]dew


A well cooked [F]hot dog


Or a maga[C]zine


Or I guess I[G]don’t



[F]Have to get a [C]thing




Verse 2


Last [C]time I replaced the light bulbs


The place was much too [F]bright


And I really only [C]need them on


Early mornings or at [G]night


So [C]if I sleep in and


go to bed at [F]dusk


I could [C]go for years without [G]light bulbs


And I’ll [F]do it if I [C]must [C7]




Chorus 2


Because I have [F]Peanut butter crackers


I have [C]Teabags and honey


Some [G]stomach ache medicine


For when [C]I’m feeling [C7]funny


[F]Tissue for my nose


And [C]some for my bathroom


I’ll [G]not need to go shopping


At [F]least not anytime [G]soon[C]

Re: Putting Off Shopping

Hi Jets, neat little number. I like you put off shopping as long as I can and then will send my wife to go to the shopping mall or grocery store. I guess men are not built to shop and thats good with me. lol. Anyway she always brings me home a little treat. Nice song again Jets.

Have a great day...Badeye.

Re: Putting Off Shopping

A nervous break down with 4 wheels { always wonky and going there own way] No wonder men wont shop,  Grocery Shopping Hmm No! Now Shoes, handbags Music and book stores love them.. But we really do buy more then we need. I recycle everything so we all benifit.

Nice one jets!

Re: Putting Off Shopping

i too but off shopping for as long as possible, unless i need lightbulbs.  shopping is to much sensory overload for a guy like me
