Right Town, Wrong Address:
A semi-faithful retelling of the events of 24 June 2018
On a June Sunday Morning
My son and I were riding our scooters
We were rolling along
That’s when we saw the doggy
Her body lying in the street
A sensation of sorrow
But I could not say that I was surprised
More than once, she’d caused me to slam the brakes.
That puppy was suicidal
Now the owners are grieving and they’re feeling distressed
They’re looking for the murderer without much success
So they asked one of their neighbors if they’d wager a guess
They falsely blamed it on the Hyundai parked at my address
So we’re targets for their ire and there’s no due process
Cause we’re in the right town but at the wrong address
And that’s where this story really begins!
So they’ve piled into
Their white utility van
Now the daughter’s knocking
She asked me if I'd seen anything
I told her that I'd seen the dog
And that i'd had to brake before
Blunder after blunder!
They see my mother's Veloster
They're thinking that I'm to blame!
And they're pissed off and they're angry and they're grieving I guess
But they've got a grievance and they're seeking redress
So they're calling us negative epithets
I'm being pushed and shoved and I'm under duress
I shout "Get out of my yard or it's a legal transgression
Cause you're in the right town but at the wrong address"
I said you're in the right town but the wrong address
Later i summoned an officer
He said "I've known them forever"
"In fact I'm friends with one of his daughters!"
"They're really fine people"
What's the point in calling in an SOS
When everything I say you second guess
The guy was in the driveway causing me distress
Guess that is not enough for you to be impressed
I've got a big day tomorrow and I'm feeling the stress
Don't wanna deal with the people at the wrong address
I said they're in the right town but at the wrong address, oh no.
