Song 12!
“Louise”
Perhaps my favorite submission so far came from Joe Alletto. He said what he wanted was, “Basically a funny song about knowing when it’s time to break up with someone. And use these 5 random words: Elephant, Rum, Hank Williams Jr., Kanye, tweeted.”
So I did. And no, there’s no real person named Louise. I mean, there are lots of them, but… you know what I mean.
Side note: definitely the first time in history someone has rhymed “Coolio” with “Hank Junior.” And that’s mainly because those words don’t rhyme at all. You’re welcome, world.
Lyrics:
Louise
Take the elephant out of the room- it’s time to let him roam
Let’s just cut up the losses now, and find them a cab ride home
Take the records you brought here- your Kanye West and Coolio
Probably realize what’s going on if you listened to more Hank Junior
Louise, Louise- You are the only one who doesn’t know
We’re already over
Louise, Louise- we should’ve folded several hands ago
Like your friends had told you
So please, just leave, Louise
Can’t believe that it’s been 2 months, should have called it at date number 3
But lots of whiskey and cheap spiced rum, account for all my ‘wait and see’
Wipe that look off your face Louise- you’re childish and conceited
If you’re looking for proof- you’ll probably take this breakup and tweet it
Louise, Louise- You are the only one who doesn’t know
We’re already over
Louise, Louise- we should’ve folded several hands ago
Like your friends had told you
So please, just leave, Louise
I can’t break up, with someone I was never really with
I can’t make up with someone who I was never really fighting with
Louise, Louise- You are the only one who doesn’t know
We’re already over
Louise, Louise- we should’ve folded several hands ago
Like your friends had told you
So please, just leave, Louise
