Lyrics
Suck It Up Buttercup
by Sean Hogan
Minding my own business, down at the coconut caboose, happy hour was serving rounds of silver bullets, and all Hell there was breakin' loose. A man who nearly won the lottery, became a fool throwing chairs cryin' out why me. I overheard the overworked bartender say I'd hate to use my Louisville slugger this way. so
Suck it up buttercup, move on, get over it. This ain't no school of hard
knocks, pull up your socks, you're having a fit. It's just a
little bitty hold up, so calm down, the sky ain't gonna fall. When you
start to seein' red, draw a deeper breath relax... it happens to us all.
Stepped out onto the patio, saw the surf rolling in by moonlight.
A song came on from a long time ago, back when I was a care free guy.
I was lost in the past when a cell phone rang, owed by clown in a suit
shoutin' buy everything. I went to grab that phone and throw it out
straight out to sea, as a senorita stepped in and whispered leave it to me, she told him
Suck it up buttercup, move on, get over it. This ain't no school of hard
knocks, pull up your socks, you're having a fit. It's just a
little bitty hold up, so calm down, the sky ain't gonna fall. When you
start to seein' red, draw a deeper breath relax... it happens to us all.
That port of call was true paradise I thanked my lucky stars up above. The senorita I met the night before said, we were close but don't call it love. Sure there were tall plam trees and a white sandy beach, but I guess the surreal is at times out of reach. She left me for a surfer said he had lessons to teach, they left a cryin' parrot with me, so I trained it to speak, I said. can you say?
Suck it up buttercup, move on, get over it. This ain't no school of hard
knocks, pull up your socks, you're having a fit. It's just a
little bitty hold up, so calm down, the sky ain't gonna fall. When you
start to seein' red, draw a deeper breath relax... it happens to us all.
