“I Am Never Ever Using That Spell-checker”

I remember when growing up
in high school
Saying, “Hey there buddy, what is up?”
Simple.
You grab a pen and paper. Write a note.
Then you slide it to your friend. (Yup!)

Now when I’m at work and feel alone
or bored,
I open up my laptop or my phone
keyboard.
And then I start my speed-typing away.
I say, “Wat up bro”, “how r u”, “o i c”, “ill c u”.


Oooh – I never learned to type real well
And oooh – no time for spelling it, for spelling it.


I am never ever ever using that spell-checker.
I am never ever ever using that spell-checker.
I can write to my friends, and all my friends understand.
So I am never ever ever ever using that spell-checker.


No, never…


I’m gonna send my friends a little text, to say
Exactly what I plan on doing next Friday.
And you would not translate it very well, unless
You had some teen around to interpret this mess.


Oooh - abbreviate each word I type,
And - oooh – no time for spelling it, for spelling it.


I am never ever ever using that spell-checker.
I am never ever ever using that spell-checker.
I can write to my friends, and all my friends understand.
So I am never ever ever ever using that spell-checker.


Oooh yeah, oooh, yeah, oooh yeah, oh oh oh


I used to think that I was so ever clever
But you can’t be clever with whomever.


(spoken)
Ugh, my boss emailed me and he says, “We need to talk,”
And I wrote, “K, man…I can c u NEtime, u know, like… lol jk c u l8r dawg!” Got fired.

No!


I am never ever ever forgetting my spell-checker.
I am never ever ever forgetting my spell-checker.
I make sense to my friends, but will my friends pay my bills?
I am never ever ever forgetting my spell-checker.


We – oooh – need to use spell-checker, oooh.
We – oooh – need to use spell-checker.


I make sense to my friends, but will my friends, no one else.
So I am never ever ever ever forgetting my spell-checker.
