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:
