I’m Sorry, Rolling Stones



I’m at the grocery store; my brain says, “Put it back.”
No bags of corn chips, yes, I want to put them back.
I walk down the aisles dressed in my slimmer clothes.
I smile contently cuz I know how this thing goes.

I see a line of carts, and they’re all filled with crap.
I can’t say what I want ‘cause it would cause a flap.
I see people all around turn their heads and look my way.
I need to shop like this until my dying day.

I look inside myself and say to myself, “Jack,
If corn syrup’s in there, man, you need to put it back.”
Maybe then I’ll fade away cuz it’s time to face the facts.
It’s not easy facin’ up when your whole world is fat.

No more will my old bod go to a greater weight.
I could not foresee this thing happening today.
If I look hard enough at that spinning scale,
I start to see the fit guy that lives inside this shell.

I grab some Cheese Whiz, but then I put it back.
I put it up alongside the other crap on that rack.
I see my old life come to a satisfactory close .
I’m living better, hey, you know how this sh*t goes.
Hmm, hmm, hmm,...

I wanna keep it, keep it, keep it all on track.
Fit is right, fit is good
I wanna see this fat blotted out from my gut
I swear I’ll never, never, never, never give it back
Yeah!

  6. You know I was hopin for Sympathy for the Devil parody, but Paint It Black is about as sacred of material for us Stones fans as you can get. I love it Jack.

  10. Haha, awesome! I will definitely be singing this to myself the next time I'm at the grocery store. It's so easy to walk out of there with a bag of Twizzlers and box of Cheezits, with your brain struggling to figure out how the hell that happened!

  13. It's a good thing you put that video there with the music so I know how these songs go.

    Nice parody..."put it back"...you should write a second verse for when we're at home being tempted with the food in our cupboards.

  15. Dare I admit I hadn't ever heard that song (the original) before? :)

  16. You are so right about the corn chips!

  17. Hi Jack. Annoyingly I can't get the video to play so I don't know what the original sounded like ... but then I remembered that all their songs pretty much sound the same so I probably haven't missed out that much ...

    It's the hardest thing for me to put anything back on the shelf ... once it's in the trolley that's it, I'm a gonna. Either my shopping is clean or it's a complete disaster.

  24. Did you know that in case of emergency, you can light a corn chip on fire and it has so much grease it will give light for at least 5 minutes...just a thought.
    lol.
