about

Yes, I am left handed. I wrote this song because I gave my songwriting class an assignment to write a funny song. I always do the assignments I give, so this is what I came up with. Those strange words in the chorus are Aussie words for being left-handed. I got all the facts from Wikipedia, so they must be true!

lyrics

2. RIGHT-HANDED WORLD

Spiral bound notebooks, potato peelers too
guns and guitars, computer mice and cork screws
Scissors and tables saws, the written word
Did you even have a clue---- they’re all flawed--who knew?

Cameras, pencil sharpeners, and boomerangs
Fishing reels, refrigerator doors, all sorts of things
You might never notice If you weren’t the chosen few
Basically everything is built from a presumptuously north paw point of view

*This goofy footed molly docker is one cacky handed southpaw girl
Stumbling along in a right handed world, 3xs

They used to call it bad luck, sinister, evil too
The unorthodox path, immoral and taboo
But 1 out of 10½ people in the world might disagree--Especially me *

At least I’m in good company-Joan of Arc, Paul Mc Cartney
Leonardo da Vinci--maybe--it’s ok to be… *
