Topic: "Flabby-Assed Buffoons"

Here is a little ditty about spectator sports . . .
[SONG]
{t:Flabby-Assed Buffoons}
{st:by, James McCormick, Feb. 9, 2007}

I don't [C]give a darn who's playing, it [F]matters not to me
Don't [G]bore me with the details, about [F]something on T-[C]V
It's [C]really not important, it's [F]just a silly game
Spec-[G]tator sports with fat-assed fans are [F]driving me in-[C]sane.
{soc}
[F]Single-sex soap operas for the [C]easily amused
Spec-[F]tacular diversions for the [G]drunken and confused  [G7]
A-[C]renas overflowing with [F]flabby-assed buffoons
[G]Single-sex soap operas for the [F]easily a-[C]mused
{eoc}
Was [C]that the game where they ran around in [F]colorful costumes?
The [G]snazzy matching outfits on [F]which the cameras [C]zoomed
The [C]game where players tried to [F]score and score again?
Where the [G]team with the most points will be a-[F]head when they [C]win?
{soc}
[F]Single-sex soap operas for the [C]easily amused
Spec-[F]tacular diversions for the [G]drunken and confused  [G7]
A-[C]renas overflowing with [F]flabby-assed buffoons
[G]Single-sex soap operas for the [F]easily a-[C]mused
{eoc}
So [C]grab a ball and head outside and [F]play a game with friends
[G]Run around and holler and [F]help your team to [C]win
[C]Get some real exercise, get your [F]fat ass off the couch
[G]Tell me about a game you played but [F]not about one you [C]watched.
{soc}
[F]Single-sex soap operas for the [C]easily amused
Spec-[F]tacular diversions for the [G]drunken and confused  [G7]
A-[C]renas overflowing with [F]flabby-assed buffoons
[G]Single-sex soap operas for the [F]easily a-[C]mused
{eoc}

Another good song James.


After reading Ken's comments I got out the denture fixative and practiced the phrase before I attempting to sing this one, it flows nicely and I do agree with the sentiment. How you and Ken keep coming up with these ideas I will never know. Songs about fleas!!! peanuts!! some lateral thinking is needed on my part I think.


I have to add that following your answer to my question about copying songs posted here I have been able to copy, print and sing the song in next to no time. Thank you again.

ah thanx a lot 4 writing something other than a sappy love ballad, not that the sappy love ballads on here arent good, their just...i don't know, belittled by all the other sappy love songs, anyway thanx 4 keeping it real with ur awesome songs about poignant festivus and fat-assed sports fans.

Re: "Flabby-Assed Buffoons"

hello jpage-roxmysox, glad you liked the lyric to that little ditty.  I write songs about all kinds of stuff - whatever strikes my fancy.  I write my share of sappy love songs also since it is an endlessly fascinating topic.


Perhaps the best love song I have ever heard is by Paul Thorn.  Go to YouTube and search for "Ain't Love Strange".  It is a song about love, but about as un-sappy as it can be.  It is a great introduction to this artist's incredible songwriting and performing ability.  He also has a great website featuring his artwork and prose pieces (paulthorn.com).
