You Know What

So now what am I going to do instead of you know what?
I’ve checked my email, updated my website.
I guess I’d better shit or get off the pot.
All those pictures in my mind are hot—
no reason to feel faint or get uptight,
but what am I going to do now instead of you know what?
Well, I could go and measure my grave plot,
where I’ll be lying when I’ve given up the fight,
after I've shat or gotten off the pot.
But the coffin’s a bad hotel—I’m not
in any damn hurry to have died,
but in the meantime what am I going to do instead of that?
Well, I just might buy a brand new hat,
with glitter, a blue feather on the side,
to wear as I sit upon my porcelain pot.
Knowing folks might think that I’m kind of a bat,
but all these box-car trains are free to ride,
so I’m hopping on board of a steel you know what—
the only way to shit AND get off the pot.
