This ain’t no classroom
It ain’t no office space either
This is freelance!
“All I wanna do is have a little fun before I die,”
Says the man next to me with no healthcare
It’s apropos
Of nothing
He says his name William but I’m sure,
It’s probably Josh.
Honestly, when did everyone start
naming their kid Josh?
And he’s got a liberal arts degree
And I wonder if he’s ever used that thing in his whole life
We are drinking beer at noon on Tuesday
Which isn’t great because we both drive Ubers
I’m just saying, it seems odd that there are
So many Joshes nowadays
You go through your life not knowing one Josh
And then — BOOM — you wake up
One morning and you know like twelve Joshes
Is it “Joshes” or “Joshs”? What’s the plural of Josh?
[Chorus]
All I wanna do is have some fun
I got a feeling I’m not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun
I got a feeling I’m not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun
Until the sun comes up and I have to go to my other job
I mean, I get the whole Dylan thing
There’s Bob Dylan and Dylan Thomas
And Dylan on 90210
And now there are entire Brooklyn neighborhoods
Filled with Dylans.
That, I get.
But Josh?
Was there a famous Josh that I missed at some point?
Sure, there’s Josh Duhamel
(Duchamel? Doesn’t matter. I’m getting off track),
And there’s Josh Charles. But, honestly,
Who the fuck is naming their kid after Josh Charles?
Are you that big a fan of The Good Wife?
Seriously, Josh is the name you’d give
A white guy you built in a laboratory out of
The leftover parts from discarded white guys
Or if you wanted to give a name to
a Barenaked Ladies CD
With no jewel case you found in an old shoebox
You’d name that Josh
[Chorus]
All I wanna do is have some fun
I got a feeling I’m not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun
I got a feeling I’m not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun
Until the sun comes up and I have to go to my other job
Like, I understand it’s a biblical name
But does anyone really remember what the hell
Josh did in the Bible?
And, no, he’s not the
“I lived inside a whale” guy.
I know because I googled it.
And recently, I met someone named Jaren.
What’s that about?
[Chorus]
All I wanna do is have some fun
I got a feeling I’m not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun
I got a feeling I’m not the only one
All I wanna do is have some fun
Until the sun comes up and I have to go to my other job
