about
This song was written in an effort to maintain a modicum of dignity on stage in case a guitar string ever breaks in the middle of a performance again (I am a cat, after all).
Also, you may note by the spoken introduction, that I am very much from the Midwestern United States.
lyrics
Oh
Holy hell
He’s gone and snapped a string
It figures that that would go wrong.
But while he’s replacing
It,
The show must go on,
So it’s time for the Wax Chaotic
Stalling Song.
We are experiencing
Technical difficulties
Please stand by...
Shit, as they say,
Well, it happens all the time,
And we just have to laugh, or else we’ll cry.
It’s
A good thing
The guitarist came prepared
For an occurrence such as this.
So while we wait for him,
We’ll
Keep you entertained.
It’ll only be a sec—dammit,
Are there any pliers in the house?
We are experiencing
Technical difficulties
Please stand by...
Shit, as they say,
Well, it happens all the time,
And we just have to laugh, or else we’ll cry.
Since
We are Wax
Chaotic, we shouldn’t be surprised
When we’re paid a visit from our “friend”.
Murphy is a bastard,
But
This song has chords transcribed
Just in case he jumps in
Before the end.
We are experiencing
Technical difficulties
Please stand by...
Shit, as they say,
Well, it happens all the time,
And we just have to laugh, or else we’ll cry.
Yeah, we just have to laugh, or else we’ll cry.
