Soda Jerk
by @jacobwakeup
Liner Notes
Just doing what I do best. Real proud of myself for starting with my list of song ideas that I pull together all year round. All I had was the title but it was enough for me to work from. Momentum!
Lyrics
His syrupy words are gonna make you cry It won't last long it's a sugar high It tastes so sweet like a candy cane You gotta slow down he's gonna cause you pain
He's gonna give you what you order A reliable recipe The same drink he makes for everyone No originality
He's a soda jerk and hes using you He gets around town and he won't stay true He seems so sweet but he's plastic goo He's a soda jerk and he don't love you
you melt like ice cream when he looks your way Just watch him add a cherry to your sundae He stirs your drink with a wink in his eye And cuts you a slice of his apple pie
He looks good enough to eat Right down to the last drop You'd better take it easy Or the cavities won't stop
He's a soda jerk and hes using you He gets around town and he won't stay true He seems so sweet but he's plastic goo He's a soda jerk and he don't love you

Just love the pictures that you paint with your words. Groovy? That dates me. But nice listen and fascinating layers.

This is the best song the Queers never wrote

That chorus is so catchy and infectious. Love the solo and the brief slowdown. Really fun

I read the lyrics first and already loved it. The music took it up a notch - exactly what the lyrics needed. This is awesome.

If Weezer were a punk band, this is what I imagine would happen. Catchy melody and lyrical hooks aplenty. And a shreddy lead guitar solo too.

This is fantastic! I dig the lyrics, the music, and the guitar solos especially. Well done!

I love the extended pun on "soda jerk" and the cleverness of the lyrics. Also a really nice composition and performance, with a catchy tune. I really enjoyed it. Great start to FAWM!

"He seems so sweet but he's plastic goo” - what an awesome lyric. I feel like this is somehow both pop punk and like… 50s milk bar rock n roll? Either way, rebelliousness and catchy tunes all round, it’s a bop!
