04 Jan 09 - 04:28 PM (#2531477) Subject: Lyr Add: ODE DE TOILET (Brad Paisley) From: Jim Dixon This song is sung "straight" as a tender, romantic ballad—which is what makes it so funny. ODE DE TOILET (THE TOILET SONG) Gerry House and Brad Paisley © EMI April Music Inc/ New Sea Gayle Music She says not to buy her flowers or big expensive gifts. She says she don't want jewelry; she doesn't need another dress. If I want to show her how much I adore her, the best way that I've found Is to make sure when I'm finished, I put that toilet seat down. We've been to couns'ling to try and see the ways we could improve This thing between us, and different ways to show each other "I love you." Well, forget about those getaway vacations to romantic coastal towns. If you want to say "I love you," just put that toilet seat down. 'Cause in the middle of the night, it's cold and it's dark, And when I hear my name in vain, I know I haven't done my part. She just wants me to support her, and the best way that I've found Is with a gentle hand and loving touch, I put that toilet seat down. Unlike a newborn puppy, or a cymbal-playin' monkey, It's very hard to train a grown man. When I'm all about my business, and the path of least resistance, Well, she's the one that suffers in the end. In the middle of the night, it's cold and it's dark, And when I hear my name in vain, I know I haven't done my part. She just wants me to support her, and the best way that I've found Is with a gentle hand and loving touch, I put that toilet seat down. [Recorded by Brad Paisley on "Online" (Arista CD 717558, 2007). You can hear Brad Paisley singing ODE DE TOILET as part of an archived "Prairie Home Companion" radio show on this page. The song begins 21 minutes from the beginning of Segment 3.] |
