Lyrics
Blue Boss Blues
The boss is behaving a little strange, not sure what it could be
He?s angry and he?s moody and he?s acting erratically
Don?t seem I can satisfy, no matter what I do
Horror overcomes me and I know why he is blue
CHORUS
The boss is off his Prozac, he?s taking it out on me
The boss is off his Prozac, there?s hell to pay oo ee
When he starts to yelling, I say, "Your wish is my command"
And when he tells me to jump, I give it all I can
But world records just won?t do, keeps raising the bar on higher
All it takes is just one miss, to be thrown into his fire
repeat CHORUS
To say he?s having mood swings, is sure an understatement
I heard that he was looking for me, so I?m hiding in the basement
I?m trying real hard to suck up, I?m driving his kids to school
I take ?em to the dentist, then I go and clean his pool
repeat CHORUS
Got to solve this problem, I?m becoming a physical wreck
Got to solve this problem, before I wring his neck
I?m going to see his shrink, get some to go around
Share it with him, keep us both from getting too far down
