August Song: Get that Shirt

The inspiration: pelted with a PotatoeBabies t-shirt at Festival.

Goal: write a song a month, with the resolve to not self-edit or worry if it’s crap. I shouldn't have to work hard at this, it’s summer. And we finally went to our first PotatoeBabies show - it was Dead Kennedys meets B-52s.


Get to the show early,

Space on the rail.

Leave the pit to the kids,

Thrashing? I’m gonna bail.


Get that shirt - get that shirt

The roadie just threw it out

Get that shirt - get that shirt

The crowd jumps and shouts


Air guitar paper airplanes

Toilet tissue gun,

Hit with a box of cereal?

This is so much fun.


Get that shirt - get that shirt

It hit me in the head

Get that shirt - get that shirt

Blue, black, or red.


Dancing in the heat

"Jump jump" the rally cry

Insanity rules the day

Punk fans ride or die.


Get that shirt - get that shirt

Some kid just got a bike

Get that shirt - get that shirt

Pink ice pop - the kind I like.


Get that shirt - get that shirt

It might be too small for me

Get that shirt - get that shirt

It’s my favorite price it’s free!
