My Ex is at the “Y” Catchin’ Zzzs ©2012 Robert George BMI

Well, his secretary phoned me
The one with the low-cut blouse
It sure beat all, she had the gall
To call me at the house
I said “Sugar booger
Ain’t you heard the word
We done got dee-vorced
Our love turned rotten and he ain’t squattin’
Or sleepin’ here no more

My ex is at the “Y” catchin’ ZZZs
At least he’s got, a place to flop, a tiny cot
The power of hope n prayer, three hot squares
A shower n soap to share, sure it’s crowded in there
Maybe it sounds inhuman, but he left no room in
My heart to care
He’s a cheat, he’s a sleaze
Now he’s at the “Y” catchin’ ZZZs”

Well, that broad got super angry
When she fin’lly got the sitch
Began to yell, said “go to hell”
Called me a rhymes with “witch”
I said “shady lady
Don’t you shout n cuss me out
On my own phone
You’re the skank, that he’s got to thank
For his brand new home

My ex is at the “Y” catchin’ ZZZs
At least he’s got, a place to flop, a tiny cot
The power of hope n prayer, three hot squares
A shower n soap to share, sure it’s crowded in there
Maybe it sounds inhuman, but he left no room in
My heart to care
He’s a cheat, he’s a sleaze
Now he’s at the “Y” catchin’ ZZZs”

If you ain’t sorry for your sin
Maybe you and your husband can take him in
But until then

My ex is at the “Y” catchin’ ZZZs
At least he’s got, a place to flop, a tiny cot
The power of hope n prayer, three hot squares
A shower n soap to share, sure it’s crowded in there
Maybe it sounds inhuman, but he left no room in
My heart to care
He’s a cheat, he’s a sleaze
Now he’s at the “Y” catchin’ ZZZs”

Maybe he’ll regroup
And rethink his life
I hear they serve pea-soup
Right at half-past five…

Pretty funny stuff, my favorite line is: Called me a rhymes with “witch” ... very clever!

One idea for the title, change Ex to X ... I think that would nail the X, Y, Z joke faster, immediately catches your eye.

Jim

thanks Jim...when you hear it, it'll sound like "X" but if you look at the title on a cd cover(a beautiful dream, haha), I think it needs to say "ex" to show what the song's about.

Hey There,
Youve got some great lyric craft going on alot of your songs
Is there a site where we can hear the demos?

Johnny

hi Johnny...thanks for the compliment. My co-writer Cameron and I have some demos up on the page below. I hope you like 'em all but I'd recommend Calico Sundown, Rose of Sunrise, Heavy Cross to Bear, Roadside Rest and Keep This Place Off the Map. I've also got some older demos on Soundclick. It got to be a big hassle trying to upload songs there so I stopped awhile back. You might like Some of My Best Friends Are Songs, Just Enough Light, Goodwill Coat and Lead Me When I'm Lost. Shoot me a PM if you'd like to see any of the lyrics. thanks again.
