lyrics

my colonoscopy is in the books I worry worry is wrinkling my looks
the hair on my head has relocated south to my back my nutsack
my worldview is pinprick myopic who’s gonna play me in my biopic
a handsome heartthrob hottie let’s get real call giamatti
hey ho here we go do-si-do it’s the big 50 hey ho do-si-do here we go
at a relative’s funeral rite another relative and I we got into a fight
I reached out once I reached out twice to no avail to try to break the ice
turns out the ice is pretty damn thick I drove my two ton truck on top of it
to measure its thickness I pulled out an auger
I bored four feet before I hit water
guess I’m gonna have to wait for the thaw
maybe after that she’ll give me a call
hey ho here we go do-si-do it’s the big 50 hey ho do-si-do here we go
my son went off to school far away he left as a he came back as a they
not much has changed since he became a they
they still sleep their whole day away
they say I’m not woke but I wake with the sun
they sleep ‘til three and they’re the woke one
anyway that was quite a day
when my son came home and told me he was they
hey ho here we go do-si-do it’s the big 50 hey ho do-si-do here we go
I’m trying to be a healthier man I gave up meat alcohol and
pretty much everything that brings me joy
what’s for dinner oh boy more soy
since I‘ve sworn off everything fun
I think I’m gonna buy a semiautomatic gun
take it to the desert and just let it fly execute watermelon and cacti
I should do yoga but no can do I hear it turns you into a Hindu
If your karmas good no need to worry
If your karmas bad you’re reborn furry
hey ho here we go do-si-do it’s the big 50 hey ho do-si-do here we go
at 20 I pledged by 50 I’d visit every country on the map
at 50 I’m wondering why the younger me set a high bar like that
I had hoped my career would take me to exotic places far and wide
my career took me here to this ergonomic chair where
my computer resides
but I’m lucky in love modest in money
I’m lucky in location location location
lucky with kids hit and miss with pets
piss poor luck with stock market bets
what should I do for my mid-life crisis sex tourism don’t forget the jism
jump from a plane pull the parachute cord
trip on ayahuasca with a shaman in the Amazon
hey ho here we go do-si-do it’s the big 50 hey ho do-si-do here we go

about

Derek Senn image

Derek Senn San Luis Obispo, California

I learned how to play guitar late in life. Then I decided to write songs and record them. For years I worked in the lo-fi tradition of home recording, which means I basically did everything myself & all songs were certified 100% free range, non-GMO, free trade, sustainably recorded organic. YUM! But now I record in proper studios and the music tastes even better! ... more
