Story Behind The Song
Inspired by observations of people, especially broke artists and musicians, who get by from day to day by mooching off of other people. A satire on mooches who take shameless advantage of nice people as well as those who are too nice to say no.

Lyrics
VERSE 1
Can I crash with you while I find a job?
Don't you worry, it won't be long.
I let him in, just to be nice.
Thirty days later, he's still inside.
How do I give the boot
to the Seven Day Mooch?
VERSE 2
I met him through my best friend's friend.
He seemed real friendly and cute and thin.
Soon my food, my shampoo was gone.
My roommate went to live with my best friend's mom.
CHORUS
How do I give the boot to the Seven Day Mooch?
How do I give the boot to the Seven Day Mooch?
Make him go away
Can't make him go away.
Make him go away.
I think he wants to stay.
Make him go away.
He needs to go away today, today, TODAY.
VERSE 3
He took my car and didn't ask.
I had to go to work and I had no gas.
My sister came and gave me a ride.
She said don't be a wus man, throw him outside!
CHORUS
How do I give the boot to the Seven Day Mooch?
How do I give the boot to the Seven Day Mooch?
Make him go away
Can't make him go away.
Make him go away.
I think he wants to stay.
Make him go away.
He needs to go away today, today, TODAY.
BRIDGE
He let his friends party 'til four.
This is the last straw.
They ashed all over the floor.
This is the last straw.
He broke my mom's crystal glass.
This is the last straw.
He makes the house smell like ASS.
VERSE 4
I sat him down and had a talk.
I said it's been too long, man, you gotta walk.
He said ok, he needed some time.
Thirty days later, he's still inside.
How do I give the boot to the Seven Day Mooch?
How do I give the boot to the Seven Day Mooch?
The Seven Day Mooch.
The Seven Day Mooch.
The Seven Day Mooch.
The Seven Day Mooch.
