Algernon was hanging pictures over his bed
The hammer missed the nail, and hit his finger instead
The swelling started growin'
And the blood began a-flowin'
While Algernon let go with some
Epithets!

Bobby was the pitcher on his Little League team
His father would project on him his own broken dreams
He'd guzzle down the booze
And then when Bobby's team was losin'
Daddy started to abuse 'em with
Epithets!

An epithet's a word or phrase that people can use
When ordinary words and phrases simply won't do
To express frustration, pain, impatience, anger or scorn
To the ****heads and the ***holes in your way

The Mayor loved the women and he loved cocaine
He got himself a hooker to keep him entertained
But after he discovered
She was working undercover
Then Hizzoner started utterin'
Epithets!

Epithets
Show emotion
Impatience
Frustration
Pain and anger
Amen
