Story Behind The Song
I thought it was a catchy title, so I wrote the song to go with it.
Song Description
A kid smells something funny and says so. But he or she can't figure out what it is. So he thinks of all the things that could be causing such a disgusting stink, like his brother's socks, his aunt's breath, rotten eggs, kerosene and more. In the twist

Lyrics
CHORUS
Something Smells Funny,
I wonder what it is, it?s so familiar.
Something Smells Funny,
I tried to get away, but it?s everywhere.
VERSE 1
It?s not my daddy?s after shave,
Not my mama?s permanent wave.
It?s sour like a litter box,
And funky like my brother?s socks!
VERSE 2
It?s dirty diapers, soggy wool,
Rotten eggs and alcohol.
It?s not unlike my sister Beth,
Or Aunt Petunia?s doggy breath!
CHORUS
VERSE 3
No matter where I run and hide
I get the feeling something died.
It musta got into my clothes,
Won?t even help to hold my nose!
VERSE 4
It?s musty like my grandma?s trunk,
Disgusting like a cornered skunk.
It?s burning rubber, moldy cheese,
Kerosene and antifreeze!
CHORUS 3
BRIDGE
A breath of fresh air is all I ever wanted,
Pure and free as a mountain stream,
Inhaling away, so sweet it must be heaven,
I don?t want to wake up from this dream.
CHORUS 4
VERSE 5
I finally figured out the smell
And people I?m ashamed to tell:
I?m guilty, I?m the one who reeks,
I haven?t had a bath in weeks!
CHORUS fades out
