Lyrics: "The Day My Butt Learned Respect" Yves Stilmant © 2025[Verse 1a] I was seven, bold, and halfway dumb Poured hot sauce in my sister's gum Put frogs in Mama's Sunday stew And peed my name in Daddy's new boots [Verse 1b] I TP'd the church on Easter morn' Got caught moonin' from the school bus horn But when Dad found paint on the barnyard cat He grabbed his belt and said, "We're fixin' that!" [Pre-Chorus] I ran through the yard like a rodeo clown Dodgin' bees and lawn chairs flyin' around But I tripped on the rake by the barbecue pit Next thing I know, he hollered, "Boy, that's it!" [Chorus] That was the day my butt learned respect Dad swung truth I won't forget Leather flyin', lesson set Yep, my butt learned respect [Verse 2a] Filled the preacher's car with shaving cream Shot firecrackers in the outhouse stream Told my teacher pigs could fly With bacon taped to a paper kite [Verse 2b] Stole Grandpa's dentures, wore 'em to school Replaced the soap with axle fuel But when I cut Mama's prized azaleas flat... Daddy said, "Boy, you better grab your hat!" [Pre-Chorus] I zigged, I zagged, I dove in the hay Thought I'd live to prank another day But that belt had a homing chip And it landed with a YEE-HAW grip! [Chorus] That was the day my butt learned respect Dad swung truth I won't forget Leather flyin', lesson set Yep, my butt learned respect Bridge] Now I got kids, and Lord help me please One of 'em's just like mini-me I don't swing belts, I just sigh and say "Son, you're gonna remember this day..." [Double Chorus] That was the day my butt learned respect Dad swung truth I won't forget Leather flyin', lesson set Yep, my butt learned respect [Outro] So next time Junior breaks the shed I'll count to ten... and call Granddad instead! |
