| Stuff ©1997 Tupelo Kenyon (P) 1997 Arctic Wingsong Publishing BMI Stuff, stuff, stuff, stuff, stuff, stuff, stuff, stuff Stuff, stuff, stuff, stuff, stuff Stuff in the living room, stuff in the hall Stuff in the cabinets, stuff on the wall The sofa, the table, and stuff on the chair There’s piles and piles of stuff everywhere. There’s boxes of stuff piled over my head There’s a box of pajamas crowding the bed The bedroom is so full of boxes and stuff The bed is all bumpy and lumpy and rough. There’s stuff on the dashboard, stuff on the seat Stuff on the floorboard, stuff at my feet The console, the glove box, and stuck to the wood Not only the trunk, but under the hood. There’s a basket of little stuff with no place to go And a room full of big stuff stacked in a row There’s a stack of important papers and such Got stuff up to here, and it’s all too much. And if I ever have to be...the proud owner of another thing It just might overload my boggled brain Cuz I don’t need no more stuff . . . just this guitar, that’s enough And a pick, of course, and related stuff. (Tupe ) Like a strap and a capo and just 5 or 6 harmonicas. But that’s all... But ... we like to go on the road, so when we do, I’ll need a microphone and a mike stand, an amp and a mixer and some speakers and stage lights .... but that’s it. (Janey) Duct tape (Tupe) Well sure, but that’s all ... Oh! and a place to put all of this stuff and get us on down the road, in which case we will need a driver and a roadie and a manager, and a booking agent and a cook, and a massage therapist ... (Janey), Well, if we’re going on the road, I’ll need some new clothes. You’ll need new stuff that matches my new stuff, but that’s all. (Tupe) Yeah, right. And a tambourine, and the bass, and a mandolin, a dulcimer and drums, but that’s all ... Oh, and my banjo ... I need this. And my rocking chair ... and a porch to rock on, and if I have a porch, then that must mean it’s attached to a house ... And WOW ... I can have a whole bunch of stuff in there! Stuff, stuff, stuff, stuff, stuff, stuff, stuff, stuff Stuff, stuff, stuff, stuff, stuff The drawers were stuffed full a long time ago Stuff on the shelves, up high and down low Stuff up the ladder, and up the wahzoo Stuff in the turkey and stuff on my shoe There’s stuff in the rain and stuff in the dirt Don’t open the closet, you might get hurt There’s stuff in the icebox that’s been there for months And stuff in the freezer that nobody wants There’s stuff on the window sill blocking the view And stuff in the diapers . . . pew There’s stuff in my wallet and stuff in her purse And the stuff on the TV just gets worse (Social comment #137) There’s stuff on the stuff that I got for the stuff With no place to go, and it’s still not enough There’s stuff in the stuff sacks making me cuss There’s so much stuff that there’s no room for us And if I ever have to be the proud owner of another thing It just might overload my boggled brain Cuz I don’t need no more stuff, Just my darlin’, that’s enough Oh no . . . and all her stuff! (But that’s a whole nuther song.) * (See below) There’s stuff in the kid’s room, plastic galore Covering the wall and covering the floor Expensive landfill, wouldn’t you say? Got so much stuff, there’s no room to play. Our lives are stuffed full from cradle to grave Stuff we should buy, and stuff we should save But the stuff we take with us, we rarely put first Have you seen a luggage rack up on a hearse? And if I ever have to be the proud owner of another thing It just might overload my boggled brain Cuz I don’t need no more stuff, Just a song to sing, that’s enough And a guitar to play, and related stuff. Stuff, stuff, stuff, stuff, stuff, stuff, stuff, stuff Stuff, stuff, stuff, stuff, stuff Enough stuff And that ain’t all ............................... * Optional verse for scuba diving: There’s stuff on my face and stuff on my feet There’s stuff n my mouth to let me go deep I got lotsa stuff with my BCD And now I’m B.R.O.K.E. __________________________________________________ Riversong Studio, PO Box 25, Story WY, 82842, (307) 683-3451 http://www.SomeMusicMatters.com Tupelo@SomeMusicMatters.com Click Here to Download Lyrics and Chord Chart for this song (.pdf file).
