AGAINST THE GRAIN by Joe Jaunty © 2013
/The Rub-Dub-Dub Song/

When I woke this mornin´ - way-way halfpast dead
Couldn´t stop yawnin´ - went back to sleep instead
The sun was out - all I saw was shade
(my eyes were full of pebbles and grain)
Wah-wah-wah-what´s U´r name?
Do ya´grind the grid or surf the waves?
Wah-wah-wah-what´s U´r game?
Do ya´ follow the road or investigate?
--------------
I´m locked and loaded - I can´t spell to "quitt"
my body´s moulded - in to someone else!
Why-why-why? Would U please explain
Why-why-why - am I against the grain?

Rub-rub-rub - do ya´ swallow or just complain?
Do ya´ wear U´r shades even in the rain?
Rub-dub-dub - do ya´ like it safe or a closer shave?
Cut it dry as a bone against the grain!
/Take the road to shame or fame!/
---------------
Rock that boulder - give it some stick
Use U´r shoulder - (Hell Yeah) give it a kick!
Roll it up the hill - roll it down again
Rub, rub, rub it - watch it roll - all the way!
----------
Do ya´ follow or rub - against the grain?
Rub it in - rub it out - all the way
Rub-dub-dub - /or/ do ya´wanna play it safe?
Rub-dub-dub - the ace of spades
give it a spin - are U sure how to play?
Rub-dub-dub - that´s the name of the game

Rub-dub-dub - against the grain
How ya´feel in the morning is a whole different play
Rub - dub - dub - rub it all the way!

/Don´t think about it - Just DO it!!/
