An Ode to My Shower...In the Key of Katy Perry

On this cold winter morning, I found myself inspired by the fickle nature of my apartment's water heater. Please, enjoy. (to the song "Hot N Cold"


You change your temp

Like a girl changes clothes

Yeah, you promise hot

then shoot me with cold.


And it's alll-ways the same

You're a cold, frigid rain

I should know

That you're no good for me...


Cause you're hot then you're cold

It's stop and it's go

I'm in and I'm out

The cold makes me shout


I turn the knob right,

There's steam and it's white.

I try to climb in,

And you burn my skin.


You!

You don't want to stay on, no

And You!

You refuse to shut o-off


You're hot then you're cold.

It's stop and it's go.

I'm in and I'm out.

The cold makes me shout.


It used to be

so perfect, I would weep.

Now that same wishful dream

It's so wrong, I could scream.


I would bathe in the sink

If I thought I would fit.

I should know

that you're not gonna change!


Cause you're hot then you're cold

It's stop and it's go

I'm in and I'm out

The cold makes me shout


I turn the knob right,

There's steam and it's white.

I try to climb in,

And you burn my skin.


You!

You don't want to stay on, no

And You!

You refuse to shut o-off


You're hot then you're cold.

It's stop and it's go.

I'm in and I'm out.

The cold makes me shout.



Someone call the plumber!

I got a shower and it's bipolar!

It's like a rollercoaster

When I try to wash my hair.


You change your temp,

Like a girl changes clothes.


Cause you're hot then you're cold

It's stop and it's go

I'm in and I'm out

The cold makes me shout


I turn the knob right,

There's steam and it's white.

I try to climb in,

And you burn my skin.


Cause you're hot then you're cold

It's stop and it's go

I'm in and I'm out

The cold makes me shout


I turn the knob right,

There's steam and it's white.

I try to climb in,

And you burn my skin


You!

You don't want to stay on, no

And You!

You refuse to shut o-off


You're hot then you're cold.

It's stop and it's go.

I'm in and I'm out.

The cold makes me shout.

  1. You are amazing! I think maybe you should write songs for a living...you could make more than teaching.
