MUCH ADO ABOUT THINGY

MUCH ADO ABOUT THINGY
An interheaven folk song.
Andrew Hennessey


I worked my life in Satans Mills
and eased my strife by chewing pills
but in my head I had a plan
I was the inventor of the THINGY

So I took it to the man
in the back of my rusty van
its hard to understand
but here is what he said.

chorus
It’s garbage, its crap
I’m going to take a nap
Its trash, its trite
get thee from my sight.

_______________

So I made some alterations
and I sharpened up my brief
and how every night I did this
was beyond my own belief
I worked and re-invested
all the money that I had
and got corroboration
from folks who weren’t bad.

So I took it to the man
in the back of my rusty van
its hard to understand
but here is what he said.

chorus
It’s garbage, its crap
I’m going to take a nap
Its trash, its trite
get thee from my sight.

So I got some R&D
and some PhD on board
and on mark 4 marketing
I spent a goodly horde
With patents still a pending
and all the filing too
The masterpiece my THINGY
was qualified Kung FU

So I took it to a woman
in the back of my rusty van
its hard to understand
but here is what she said.

chorus
It’s garbage, its crap
I’m going to take a nap
Its trash, its trite
get thee from my sight.

So I found another Chief
in my hour of shock and grief
I had spent up all my wealth
and a huge chunk of my health
my THINGY was the business
better than the best
but everywhere I bring it
its something they detest.

So I made some alterations
and I sharpened up my brief
and how every night I did this
was beyond my own belief
I worked and re-invested
all the money that I had
and got more corroboration
from folks who weren’t bad.

So I took it to the Chief
in the back of my rusty van
its hard to understand
but here is what he said.

chorus
It’s garbage, its crap
I’m going to take a nap
Its trash, its trite
get thee from my sight.

Now the moral of my story
isn’t human now I know
and if you made a THINGY
in enterprising mood
you just get milked and treated
like you were a bit of wood.
So I took a rival THINGY
that is sold instead of mine
and went to another Chief
they said was not a thief
its hard to understand
but here is what he said.

chorus
You’re garbage, you’re crap
you’re DNA is capped
Human trash is trite
just give up without a fight

Now my THINGY was my future
and things used to make some sense
but in this world of overcoats
the one I wear is dense
It may be that some Reptile or some
holographic Grey
will make me fail and empty because
it seems to make their day
But my THINGY is my ball and chain
it ties me to their world
my soul will fly to better lives
when my wings unfurled

So when I ditched my THINGY
the phone has never stopped
some happy happy shoppers
say it’s the best they’ve ever shopped

chorus
I’m loving and I’m loved
and my soul escapes the trap
of toxic trash and trite
as it sinks beyond my sight

and forever in my future
the things we make are bright
