Fred Astaire by The Upside Downs Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yeah, I got a funny face, you can call me Fred Astaire
If you don't believe in hell
How the hell could you be headed there?
I'm about to lead a revolution, cross the Delaware
Or maybe I'm not going anywhere like M.C. Escher stairs
No plan, no ma'am
That's the way I'm programmed
I'm so mentally unstable I should star in Homeland
Bringing it back like Roseanne, I'll bow down to no man
These turkey's got beef but they're too chicken to go HAM
And I'm pulling back the curtain
'Cause when your magic's workin' everybody calls you Merlin
But when it isn't workin', same person calls you worthless
But now the tides are turning like you just changed detergents
[Chorus]
I'ma do what I do
No matter what you say
I'm livin' my life
Uck-fay u-yay
I guess that every Superman
Has a doomsday
I'm livin' my life
Uck-fay u-yay
[Verse 2]
I'm pretty good, but there's room for improvement
My dream is to join the X-Men and become a mutant
Develop a dope-ass superpower and when I use it
It would have all the dudes scared like the #MeToo movement
And what the hell is wrong with me?
Maybe I should stop horsing around and be a Model-T
I couldn't give commands if I authored Deuteronomy
The only props I get is when I'm doing prop comedy
So where in the hell are my accolades?
I'm barely even getting a passing grade
I've got about as many real friends as Tom Hanks in Castaway
But I still got that super-strength
And I did it without those gamma rays!
'Cause these days are
Ah-ah-ah-ah Happy Days
Well I do what I do and I'm about to change the future
Where's Elizabeth Shue?
But you don't hear me like a Soft C sound in Madrid
But I'm always coming back, girl, I'm like the McRib
[Chorus]
I'ma do what I do
No matter what you say
I'm livin' my life
Uck-fay u-yay
I guess that every Superman
Has a doomsday
I'm livin' my life
Uck-fay u-yay
[Bridge]
I can take a loss (a loss)
And I can handle rejection (rejection)
I just want to have an effect
Like Russians on elections (what?)
I can take a loss
And I can handle rejection
I just want to have an effect
Like Russians on elections
[Verse 3]
Some of you people are done with me
Roastin' me up like a pumpkin seed
Fella, you can't be humbling
That's why raps so tongue-in-cheek
Just look at my accomplishments
And all you see is tumbleweeds
Why you being a buzz-kill
Like you steppin' on a bumblebee?
And you can think what you like
'Cause it would take a brain transplant to change your mind
Well you know I got the juice
So why the hell you drinkin' Kool-Aid?
I also rap in pig Latin so "uck-fay u-yay"!
[Chorus]
I'ma do what I do
No matter what you say
I'm livin' my life
Uck-fay u-yay
You better wake your ass up
Cause it's a school day
I'm livin' my life
Uck-fay u-yay
[Outro]
