Porchlight Roast-Off
A comedic southern country track featuring fiddle, banjo, resonator guitar, mandolin, bass, and stomp-clap percussion. Two brothers on a porch sling hilarious insults and mom jokes while fighting over who’s the real genius.
Lyrics
[Verse]
Well, look at Bubba, sitting in the shade
The biggest mess that the good Lord made
He claims he’s smart, got a giant brain
But he’s still out whistling in the rain
Your head is hollow as a dry canteen
The dumbest brother that I ever seen
You think a library is where they keep the cheese
You’re failing tests with the birds and bees
[Chorus]
He’s the family genius, or so he says
With a mind as sharp as a mayonnaise
Mama always told us you were dropped on your head
Now you’re half as bright as a loaf of bread
Yeah, you’re real smart
Bless your heart
Stupid as a mule in a shopping cart
Bless your heart
[Verse]
Oh, hush up, Junior, you’re a sight to see
You’re about as bright as a hickory tree
You remember when you tried to fry a shoe?
The family dog is way smarter than you
You look like Mama, but you got her nose
And you still can't figure how to fold your clothes
If brains were dynamite, you couldn't sneeze
You’re stuck on “C” in your ABCs
[Chorus]
He’s the family genius, or so he says
With a mind as sharp as a mayonnaise
Mama always told us you were dropped on your head
Now you’re half as bright as a loaf of bread
Yeah, you’re real smart
Bless your heart
Stupid as a mule in a shopping cart
Bless your heart
[Verse]
Well, you’re so ugly, I’ll tell you true
The mirror broke when it looked at you
And Mama told me just the other night
That she loves me best ‘cause you ain’t right
She said your birth certificate’s a joke
A signed apology for the heart she broke
You’re the reason why we got a fence
Living proof of a lack of sense
[Chorus]
He’s the family genius, or so he says
With a mind as sharp as a mayonnaise
Mama always told us you were dropped on your head
Now you’re half as bright as a loaf of bread
Yeah, you’re real smart
Bless your heart
Stupid as a mule in a shopping cart
Bless your heart
[Outro]
