Cussing Alternatives
					(Mike's Song)

Am        
Saxon swears date from the druids
G
Body functions, parts, and fluids
Am
Syllables,  pungent and short
Am                      E     Am
An Exclamation or retort

Am                
 If you're cross and feeling tense,
G
 but do not want to cause offense
Am
Clean alternatives abound
Am                        E       Am
You just need that pithy sound


(spoken)
Ark it, pluck yours,  sickle, toast!
Yoke mine, tractor, pickle, ghost!

Am
Once you have acquired the habit
G
Then you can get more elaborate,
 
                                    Am	    G
affricate, crepuscular, oenomatopia
Am 		 		       G              Am 
I could keep on going but you've  gotten the idea
