Damn Girl - a Song

Chorus 1: Damn girl, If you need some grease, Why can't you just Squeak a little, Squeak a little? (1) Take time, Let the voices cease, Your life adjust, Breathe a little, Breathe a little! Squeaky wheel will always get the grease they say, Never has to wait until the end of day, Somehow there are people who can never learn, World just doesn’t stop while you await your turn. Chorus 2: Damn girl If you need some grease Vanity disgrace And squeak a little. Squeak a little, Take time Till the voices cease Give yourself some space And breathe a little Breathe a little Cannot find your voice, afraid to lose your cool, Lessons they forgot somehow to teach in school. ‘Trying hard’ it seems is never good enough , ‘Doing’ is what shows folks that you’ve got the stuff. Chorus 3: Damn girl If you need some grease Let that be alright Why not squeak a little. Squeak a little, Take time Till the voices cease And you see some light Why not breathe a little Breathe a little If you don’t have answers well it’s just poor you Sitting in your chair when all the dancing‘s through, Sure ‘nough little girl a lottery’s your chance, Only way in Hell that you will get to France. Chorus 4: Damn girl If you need some grease Why can’t you just Squeak a little. Squeak a little, Take time Till the voices cease Don’t you go bust Breathe a little Breathe a little Inner adult free now and can be quite wild, Baby-sitter dead now for your inner child, Grand prize may not be the way you want to go, Happiest are people just content to show….(2) Chorus 5: Damn girl If you need some grease Let that be OK And squeak a little. Squeak a little, Take time Till the voices cease Sample life’s bouquet And breathe a little Breathe a little Brian Johnston Sept. 6, 2014 Poet's Notes: Got the idea for the chorus of this song while listening to Country Music in a bar in Blunt, SD. My country music loving bartender/waitress liked the 'squeaky wheel' idea so I went home and wrote the song. Brian Johnston Sept. 6, 2014 Poet's Notes: (1) ‘a squeaky wheel gets the grease’ – means that when a wheel on a car or bicycle starts to get noisy (squeaky) the owner knows that its bearing is dry and needs lubrication so he takes care of this problem right away. The human parallel for the rest of us is that when you need something from someone, we should not assume that they will see your problem and fix it right away. It is much better to tell them about the problem yourself (squeak a little) so that the problem is addressed more quickly. (2) ‘show’ – means to do well, get a blue ribbon perhaps for excellence, but not be the best. Those who have to be the best at something, frequently let other things in their lives slide, i.e., they go for ‘flash’ and not for ‘quality of life.’ I got the idea for the chorus of this song while listening to Country Music in a bar in Blunt, SD.
