The Lyrics
Part of my "Do What You Wanna Do" self-challenge. This one guy has really bad aim...OR DOES HE?! Enjoy!
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
My friends are handy with a handgun
Wish I was good with one
I'm one of those people who are bad shots
Friends always hit their targets
Dead-center and I'm jealous
Blowin' through their rounds like nothin' at all
Holdin' the gun like a dummy
Hands are gettin' twitchy
Friends eggin' me on, the trigger I squeeze
Now they're laughin', what's so funny?
Open my eyes, I see
I'm shocked cause I got a bullseye
My first ti-ime, I'm really quite surprised
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh, woo-ooh-ooh-ooh
My first bullseye-eye on the first friggin' try
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh, woo-ooh-ooh-ooh
Get acclaim from all my mates
Also cheerin' my na-ame, I don't know how
Got that bullseye, the first ti-ime
That I've used a gun, it's true
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh, woo-ooh-ooh-ooh
Still got more bullets in this round
Try to aim one more time
People gather 'round, then the crowd goes wild
And man, you won't believe me
Surely my eyes deceive me
I'm shocked, it's another bullseye
Somehow twi-ice, got to be dreamin', right?
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh, woo-ooh-ooh-ooh
My next bullseye right after the first try
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh, woo-ooh-ooh-ooh
Not that great, I swear it, mate
Must set the record strai-aight, won't live this down
Double bullseye, check my eyes
Cause it's a gigantic fluke
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh, woo-ooh-ooh-ooh
Now there's people takin' bets
Will I hit bullseye agai-ain, oh-ooh
Two more shots and both of them
Hit the middle, what the he-eck, oh-ooh-ooh
Someone's rigged the gun, I guess
Target or ammunitio-ion, oh oh-ooh
Next two shots, crap, not again
This is some voodoo bullshi-it
I've gone and hit six straight bullseyes
Blown my mi-ind, ev'ryone's eyes are wide
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh, woo-ooh-ooh-ooh
Why, how can I-I have achieved this, just why
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh, woo-ooh-ooh-ooh
All my mates still chant my name
Rich from their bettin' ga-ame, with a rope wound
'Round their fist, spy that it's tie-ied
To the target, there's the clue
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh, woo-ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
My friends are handy with a handgun
Wish I was good with one
I'm one of those people who are bad shots
Friends always hit their targets
Dead-center and I'm jealous
Blowin' through their rounds like nothin' at all
Holdin' the gun like a dummy
Hands are gettin' twitchy
Friends eggin' me on, the trigger I squeeze
Now they're laughin', what's so funny?
Open my eyes, I see

Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh, woo-ooh-ooh-ooh

Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh, woo-ooh-ooh-ooh

Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh, woo-ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh-oh
So, a Swedish girl makes a song heavily involving drugs in a negative context...and it reaches 3 on the Billboard charts? Sometimes the charts aren't completely stupid.

Reminds me of my first archery lesson, many decades ago when I was a child. I hit the bulleye in the target next to the one I was aiming at :-)
Nice match on this one. I think my only time shooting a gun was in my teens shooting at skeet. After I missed every shot, I think they took skeet off the endangered species list.
There's always hope Timmy. Remember, gun control is a steady hand!!! Practice makes progress. Shoot 555 more rounds!
Rob, I'll try 555 more rounds but it will likely be golf.
