about

I meant to write a song about my daughter's evil drama teacher. Instead I wrote a song about the evil ex-wife of someone close to me. I'll have to catch up with the evil drama teacher in a future song. Believe me, she more than deserves to be the target of a Wishnefsky song.

lyrics

TOMPKINS

I would like to comment on a girl you may have seen
She comes like a revelation from your deepest dream
All the horny gentlemen are lining up to flirt
Little do they know their faces are heading for the dirt

He doesn’t know, he doesn’t know
He doesn’t know, he doesn’t know
He doesn’t know, he doesn’t know
He doesn’t know, he doesn’t know

Everyone who looks at her is fooled by her fake tits
No one seems to recognize that she could give a shit
I know there’s a word for it, but I cannot recall it
She sticks her hand inside your pants but only holds your wallet

He doesn’t know, he doesn’t know
He doesn’t know, he doesn’t know
He doesn’t know, he doesn’t know
He doesn’t know, he doesn’t know

Sitting in the Buddha garden, thinking up the next crime
Sitting in her yoga class with malice on her mind
All the little antsy boys must fall in love with her
When they close their eyes to kiss, she’ll vanish in a blur

He doesn’t know, he doesn’t know
He doesn’t know, he doesn’t know
He doesn’t know, he doesn’t know
He doesn’t know, he doesn’t know

He doesn’t know, he doesn’t know
He doesn’t know, he doesn’t know
He doesn’t know

(Hiss)
