You Can't Please Everyone

from Jude Perl and the Saga of SugarHope Records by Jude Perl

lyrics

I covered myself with honey
Cause you catch more flies that way
What I’m gonna do with a whole lot of flies I don’t know
But I’ll figure it out, once I’ve got them

Now I’m walking around in this lonely city
Covered in honey… and a shitload of flies
Why did I think this was a good idea
I’ve already been arrested twice

Get out of the store, they said
Put on some clothes, they said
You’re tracking in a lot of ants
So I put the item back on the rack
Walked out of pumkin patch
I guess honey doesn’t count as pants…
You can’t please everyone

I dressed up as an ugly duckling
But I didn’t become a swan
Don’t wanna intimidate peeps
With my babin’ swan style, got it going on

Now I’m walking around in this lonely city
Covered in feathers, and some flies from before
I’m starting to think I should’ve cleaned these feathers
Before I stuck them to my skin

Get off of our roof, they said
You’re scaring our kids, they said
How did you even get up there?
You leave your back window open, I said
I climbed in once you were all in bed
If you didn’t want people living on your roof, I just assumed you would’ve kept everything locked?
You can’t please everyone

I look in the mirror everyday
And I think to myself
There’s a lot of puss on this mirror from pimples I’ve popped
I should clean that…

I became a superhero
Tampon Girl: soaking up crime
If you’re ever in danger, I’ll be there in no time...of the month
Now I’m walking around in this lonely city
Waiting for someone to cry out for help
It’s really hot in this giant tampon
But at least it’s absorbing my sweat

Get out of the church, they said
Is it cause I’m Jewish? I said
No, it’s just that you’ve been singing the ninja turtles theme song through this entire baptism
I’m trying to make your kid cool, I said
Get the original ninja turtles theme song in his head
Because the new one fucking sucks....

Get off of the stage they said
“why don’t you Play some BON JOVI!!” They said
I don’t know any Bon Jovi, but I can play 'St Alfonzo’s Pancake Breakfast' by Frank Zappa? ….
So I put my keyboard back in it’s case
Got fired from another place
Who knew Frank Zappa would be so polarising?
You can’t please everyone

Some of the people all of the time
All of the people some of the time
Some of the people some of the time
None of the people… none of the time…
