VERSE 1
The thrill is gone
With your boyfriend
And the song of love
Has come to an end
No one’s to blame
Yeah, these things happen
Hey, it wasn’t planned
What’s the best way
I mean, short of rappin’
To make him understand.
CHORUS
Say it with a meme.
Say it with a meme.
There's no need to scream and shout.
If you proceed to spell it out,
Yeah, they’ll know what you mean.
If you say it with a meme.
VERSE 2
Your boss is great
At giving praise
But it’s been three years
Since you’ve got a raise
You’ve spoke your mind
Just two words he knows:
The economy.
Surely you’ll find
Something graphic that shows
(optional: Something kind of graphic)
Your boss the urgency.
(optional: To show the urgency)
CHORUS
Say it with a meme.
Say it with a meme.
There's no need to scream and shout.
If you proceed to spell it out,
Yeah, they’ll know what you mean.
If you say it with a meme.
BRIDGE 1
If you’re tongue tied
You must realize
Some thoughts are just
Hard to verbalize
To make your point
And feel fantastic
You’ve gotta learn
To be sarcastic.
So if you want
Better self esteem
I ask you this:
Y U No say it with a meme?
VERSE 3
The judge has ruled
A shink you’ll see
Just to check your grasp
On reality.
You speak in tongues
Quote Pink Floyd verse and
Failed the ink blot test
Now help them see
That a witch’s curse was
The reason you confessed.
CHORUS
Say it with a meme.
Say it with a meme.
There's no need to scream and shout.
If you proceed to spell it out,
Yeah, they’ll know what you mean.
If you say it with a meme.
BRIDGE 2 (Spoken)
Do we have any college graduates with us here today?
Great, now let me put this subject into terms which even you can understand.
I'm hoping that y'all were conscious the day the professor discussed Marshall McLuhan's big concept:
"The medium is the message."
Alright. Given this undisputable truth, we can now deduce:
If the medium is the message...
And the meme is the medium...
Ergo...
THE MEME IS THE MESSAGE!
Yeah, now you're getting it!
CHORUS
Say it with a meme.
Say it with a meme.
There's no need to scream and shout.
If you proceed to spell it out,
Yeah, they’ll know what you mean.
If you say it with a meme.
VERSE 4 (Extremely Optional)
Your record sucks
In playoff games
But then you are stuck
With old what’s his name.
He loves his golf
And blonde singers but
Does he have the fight?
Now go tell Jones
That it’s time to trade for
A guy like Danny White.
CHORUS
Say it with a meme.
Say it with a meme.
There's no need to scream and shout.
If you proceed to spell it out,
Yeah, they’ll know what you mean.
If you say it with a meme.
CLOSING CHORUS
Say it with a meme.
Say it with a meme.
You won't spray it,
If you say it,
With a meme.
The End
