Calgone Lyrics

[Intro]
On my way home
Police car pulled me over

[Verse 1]
After they left, I puttered out of gas
AAA came, but my card was expired
I had to walk home, and of course, it rained half the time
I tried to get some shut-eye, then I was abducted
They put cold things in my butt
They sampled a bit of my DNA
They left me on top of my sheets
I dreamt I went potty, then woke up drenched in me

[Pre-Chorus 1]
This day sucked the hardest ever

[Chorus]
I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today
A little bit less than nothing would go my way

[Verse 2]
I got up to toss my soiled sheets
The hallway was dark and I stubbed my big toe
It was then that I sensed the irony burning me
Then I heard the voice say
"Come sail aboard the S.S. Nepenthe"

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I suppose I'm to blame

[Chorus]
I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today
A little bit less than nothing would go my way

[Bridge]
Thank goodness
For bathtubs and suds

[Verse 3]
I suppose I'm to blame for getting pulled over
I guess I'm the culprit for running out of gas
Let's assume I'm the guy who didn't pay his AAA fee
In actuality, I let the zetas probe me
Yesterday was all my fault
I let negativity get the better of me
Thank goodness for the bathtubs and suds
They temporarily set free this quandary

[Chorus]
I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today
A little bit less than nothing would go my way
I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today
A little bit less than nothing would go my way

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
