Story behind the song
This one began by challenging myself to take a walking major seventh and turn it into a song. You can hear it in the verse, the main bassline alternating from Bb to the high A.
The monotone, childish lyrics followed in suiting the theme of "Nyaah, I wanna, why can't I?" I went to a few friends in the chatrooms for ideas on silly things you're not supposed to do that fit the trochaic meter.
Lyrics
You're not supposed to overwind your wind-up toys
'Cause the spring is gonna pop out and your toy is broke
Yeeaaahh.
Not supposed to end a sentence with a preposition
'Cause you never know who's listening in
Yeeaaahh.
Refrain:
How am I supposed to know what I'm supposed to do
When everybody tells me what I'm not supposed to do?
How am I supposed to know what I'm supposed to do
When all you want to tell me's what I'm not supposed to do?
Not supposed to clean the oven with that rag
'Cause it's full of the petroleum distillates that'll set it on fire
Yeeaaahh.
You're not supposed to bring your mice into the movie theater
'Cause you know they're going to get out of the box they're in
Yeeaaahh.
Refrain:
Not supposed to watch the Pee-Wee Herman movies
Because they make your brain melt
Yeeaaahh.
Not supposed to go back and enjoy the childish things
Never mind that you can afford them now
Yeeaaahh.
Refrain:
Not supposed to go and eat up all the Oreos
Because you know that you were gonna have some company over later
Yeeaaahh.
Not supposed to talk about the people that you like
'Cause you never know just what they're gonna hear
Yeeaaahh.
Refrain:
Not supposed to tease the boys pretending that you're gay
Because you know they're gonna hug ya even though you're not
Yeeaaahh.
Not supposed to drink up all your medicine at once
'Cause you see the pretty colors and you're feelin' kinda drunk
Yeeaaahh.
Refrain:
Not supposed to sleep with multiple partners
Unless you can keep up with all the body parts
Yeeaaahh.
You're not supposed to covet on your neighbor's wife
'Cause he's close enough to beat you and he knows what you've been doing
Yeeaaahh.
Refrain:
Not supposed to drink and drive
AND THAT INCLUDES TRACTORS
Yeeaaahh.
Not supposed to go ignore what everybody thinks is cool
'Cause they are normal, and you're not
Yeeaaahh.
Refrain:
