I’m A Textpert

Hey
Whatcha doing?
Driving, whatcha doing?
Driving and texting.
Hmmm. Are you sure you should be doing that?
 
                               Dm
Yes, because. I’m a textpert
An expert at texting
    A#                                         C
Rejecting the notion that you think I’ll be wrecking
Dm
Due to the fact that I’m distracted?!
                   A#                                                  C
I multitask best behind the wheel when I get textually active
Dm
YOU should keep both eyes on the road, sir. For real
                    A#                                                        C
You’ll look down, look up and end up in the trunk of another automobile
Dm
Leave it to a pro. Be incommunicado
                 A#                                                 C                            Dm
Until you get to where you need to go, this conversation’s O. Ver
Dm
No it isn’t?
Yes it is
No it isn’t!
 
                   Dm
Cause I’m a textpert! An expert at texting
        A#                                     C
Pressing, my keypad when my car’s not resting
Dm
     I can divide my attention up
               A#                                        C
I got so much attention, I’ve got an eleven-tion
        Dm
With one eye on the road; one eye on my phone
              A#                                             C
I texted-in this drive-thru order for my latte and scone
Thank you
Dm
Now I’m-n-a text-n-eat-n-sip-n-dip and shift
A#                           C
It in to D and then chin-drive home
 
Gm
I’m a textpert
A textin’ traveler who doesn’t need a chauffeur-eur-eur-eur-eur
I’m a textpert
Don’t worry, nobody’s gonna get hurt-urt-urt-urt-urt
 
          Dm
Sometimes I text both sides of a conversation
                  A#                                            C
Cause it’s tough to keep up with my text-ual pacing
                 Dm
On rare occasion, when I’ve got nothing to text about
   A#                                    C
I text myself reminders of what I’m doing now
 
          Dm
I carry on, more concurrent conversations
                              A#                         C
Than one phone alone is prone to accept
So, I’ve
Dm
Tested and perfected my patented method:
                     A#                           C
The second handset hands-free toe text




  Dm
I ride with my Swedish Masseuse
                     A#                          C
She gimme deep tissue thumb shiatzu
 
     Dm
My yogi shows me hand yoga poses, like:
A#                                             C
Downward Facing Pinky and Thumb Lotus
 
                Dm
I’ll never stoop so low, as to text photos
                A#                                C
Instead I text the correct combo of 1’s and 0’s
 
          Dm
I’m an artiste! Using ASCII!
          A#                              C
I just texted this toad to an art gallery
 
          Dm
I text more, than the next bored prepubescent tween!
     A#                                    C
In fact I’ve text-induced my own second puberty!
Dm
How does that work exactly?
                                               A#                                   C
Everything that happened before is happening some more
That’s all I’m comfortable sharing at this time…
 
             Dm
I gave a lift to a drifter!
                                         A#
And texted his estranged sister
                      C
And now I’m hostin’ em here for dinner!
 
Dm
     Well did I mention I’m a text-itrician?
             A#                        C
A next-gen OB/GYN, a Lamaze text-nician
 
        Dm
Well, I’m the next Dr. Phil of SMS
       A#                                        C
I’m poppin’ out babies with the power of text!
 
Gm
I’m a textpert
A textin’ traveler who doesn’t need a chauffeur-eur-eur-eur-eur
I’m a textpert
Don’t worry, nobody’s gonna get hurt-urt-urt-urt-urt
 
Gm
By the way, where’re you headed son?
Headed West on 421
Uh-huh
West?!
Yes. You?
Me? I’m headed…
