Pay Me No Mind
Harmonizing with Nature's Indifference
Lyrics
duck don't pay me no mind duck don't pay me no mind
Duck ignores me, pays no attention
circling back with a good bye quack duck don't pay me no mind
Duck circles back to say goodbye, but still ignores me
pony don't pay me no mind pony don't pay me no mind
Pony ignores me, doesn't pay attention
hand full of hay look the other way pony don't pay me no mind
Pony looks away with a handful of hay, still ignoring me
cow don't pay me no mind cow don't pay me no mind
Cow disregards me, swishing its tail and drinking from a pail
swish that tail drink from a pail cow don't pay me no mind
Cow continues to ignore me
horse don't pay me no mind horse don't pay me no mind
Horse pays no mind, dealing with flies and chewing
flies in your hair chew and stare horse don't pay me no mind
Horse remains indifferent, chewing and staring
I sure wish that you would pay attention to
Expressing a desire for attention and friendship
me and be my friend the fun would never end
Hoping for a lasting and enjoyable friendship
but you are doing your thing and I can't catch your eye
Frustration at not being noticed while the other is occupied
I guess I will buzz off now like some silly little fly
Resignation and decision to leave, likened to a buzzing fly
life would be so sweet if we could harmonize
Imagining a harmonious life if attention is reciprocated
dog don't pay me no mind dog don't pay me no mind
Dog pays no attention, prefers solitude with a bone
rather be alone chewin' on a bone dog don't pay me no mind
Continued disregard from the dog
pig don't pay me no mind pig don't pay me no mind
Pig doesn't pay attention, desires friendship despite being muddy
wanna be your buddy even though you're muddy pig don't pay me no mind
Expressing willingness to be friends despite obstacles
kitty don't pay me no mind kitty don't pay me no mind
Kitty ignores me despite my efforts (meowing)
don't matter how much I meow
Regardless of attempts (meowing), kitty still ignores
kitty don't pay me no mind (no no no)
Reiteration of kitty's indifference (no no no)
pig don't pay me no mind (no no no)
Repetition of the theme, pig also pays no attention (no no no)
dog don't pay me no mind (no no no)
Continued repetition, dog ignores (no no no)
horse don't pay me no mind (no no no)
Reiteration, horse pays no mind (no no no)
cow don't pay me no mind (no no no)
Once again, cow disregards (no no no)
pony don't pay me no mind (no no no)
Pony is still indifferent (no no no)
duck don't pay me no mind (no no no)
Final repetition, duck remains indifferent (no no no)
