This is a spoof of the song Satisfaction by the rolling Stones that I wrote in October 2011. I performed it at open mics in Monterey, CA
I can't get no Halloween candy. I can't get no Halloween candy. But I try, and I try, and I try, and I try. I can't get no. I can't get no. Well I'm walking door to door. And a man comes out to greet me. But he's telling me there's no more. So he says he likes my outfit. What he really means is "beat it!". I can't get no. No no no. Hey hey hey. That's what I say. I can't get no trick-or-treat candy. I can't get no trick-or-treat candy. But I try, and I try, and I try, and I try. I can't get no. I can't get no. So I'm dressed up like a zombie. Saying "trick or treat" and "thankyou ma'am". Still my pillow case is empty. It took forever to put on this get-up; Spent two hours just on make-up. I can't get no. No no no. Hey hey hey. That's what I say. I can't get no Halloween action. I can't get no trick-or-treat action. But I try, and I try, and I try, and I try. I can't get no. I can't get no. Still knockin' on those doors. I'm trickin' this and I'm treatin' that. Just trying to make some scores, But the lady says come back early next year. I'd be better off just bummin' beer. I can't get no. I can't get no. Halloween candy. Trick-or-treet candy. Halloween action. Trick-or-treat action. Satisfaction.
