Woke up late, my alarm was dead
Stepped on a Lego, busted my head
Coffee was empty, the toaster caught fire
My boss called twice and said, “You’re gonna be fired!”
Jumped in my car, but I had no gas
Pulled out the driveway and forgot my pass
Checked my bank account — negative three
Well, I guess that’s where we’re gonna be
I’m up shit creek without a paddle
Going downstream in a busted-up battle
No map, no boat, no plan, no clue
And somehow, I’m bringing you with me too
Up shit creek!
Yeah, that’s where I am
Up shit creek!
Doing the best that I can
If trouble’s got a river, I’m the captain of the fleet
I’m up, I’m up, I’m up shit creek!
My girlfriend’s pissed, my dog ran away
My neighbor’s been drilling since half past eight
The landlord says, “Rent’s overdue”
I said, “Buddy, I’m surprised you still have my number too!”
Got pulled over doing thirty-five
Cop said, “Son, you barely look alive”
I said, “Officer, I’m having a rough week”
He said, “Son, that’s the third time you’ve peed on your seat.”
I’m up shit creek without a paddle
Going downstream in a shopping cart saddle
No map, no boat, no plan, no clue
And somehow, the creek smells like barbecue
Up shit creek!
Yeah, that’s where I am
Up shit creek!
This wasn’t in the plan
If disaster’s got a current, I’m the king of the fleet
I’m up, I’m up, I’m up shit creek!
Hey!
Anybody got a paddle?
No?
How about a canoe?
No?
A pool noodle?
A fucking inner tube?!
Well… shit.
I tried to turn around, but I hit a rock
Lost my wallet, my keys, and my favorite sock
The sun went down and the mosquitoes came
Then a raccoon stole my sandwich and laughed in my face
I looked up at the sky and said, “Why me?”
A bird dropped something right on my knee
I said, “Fine! I surrender! You win! I quit!”
Then the creek got deeper and swallowed my shit
I’m up shit creek without a paddle
Floating downstream like a drunk on a saddle
No hope, no brakes, no way to retreat
But at least there’s a rhythm when I’m dragging my feet
Up shit creek!
Everybody sing!
Up shit creek!
Hear the banjo ring!
If life gives you lemons, throw ‘em in the stream
And if you can’t beat the current…
Just scream!
UP!
SHIT!
CREEK!
…and somebody please bring a fucking paddle.
