Notes on My Ineffectual Boycotts - 6

Boycott Song

As always, we end the series with lyrics. Just stir in a bit of tune and you’ve got yourself a song.

In this case, I’m using Boycott as a metaphor for the revenge a wronged lover seeks. For reasons that continue to baffle male scientists from across the globe, this sort of song is typically sung in a female voice.

I’M GONNA BOYCOTT YOU!

I am deaf to your excuses
You aren’t squeezin’ where the juice is
We are done and you are roasted
Gonna wish you’d just been ghosted
You are nothin’ but a liar
I have served my time as buyer
That disaster you are smellin’
I’m not buyin’ what you’re sellin’.

It was overdue
But now we’re more than through
I’m gonna boycott you!

What makes this boycott scary
Is it’s also secondary
I’m a member of a faction 
That can take concerted action
Anyone who’s ever met ya
Will have reason to forget ya
That’s disaster you are smellin’
We’re not buyin’ what you’re sellin’.

This is something new
We’re lined up in a queue
We’re gonna boycott you!

We’ll show you where to park it
Gonna take you off the market
You can wave but won’t hear Hiya
That’s your life as pure pariah
Do you wonder who’s the loser?
Well, the answer’s clearly you, sir
That disaster you are smellin’
No one’s buyin’ what you’re sellin’.

It was overdue
But now we’re more than through
I’m gonna boycott you!
