LYRICS
\nSo, you want to go wailing
\nWhy would you want to do a thing like that?<\/p>\n

The buffoon pulls out his harpoon
\nShooting himself in the foot
\nCommence the wailing<\/p>\n

You piss in your sink and then stop to think
\n“Wonder why I have disease?”
\nYou foul your fowl because you’re chicken to change
\nThen stop to think, “Wonder why I have food poisoning?”<\/p>\n

Am I thick
\nWe’re why I’m sick<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE SONG
\nCapo 1
\nAm
\nAm \/ Em
\nAm add F
\nAm \/ Dm \/ G \/ Am<\/p>\n

Written and recorded on September 5, 6 and 7 in West Chester, Philadelphia, Ambler and Phoenixville, Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

It is a play on words about questioning both wailing and whaling… especially when the wailing is caused by whaling.<\/p>\n
