[Verse 1] I sat on the couch In my good brown shoes Told her my whole truth And my bad news She took one look At my checkered tie Said, "Boy, that's a problem" I said, "So am I" [Pre-Chorus] She tapped her pen I tapped my shoe She said, "This rhythm Isn't helping you" [Chorus] My therapist hates ska Hates ska, hates ska She heard that offbeat And she shut the door (shut the door) My therapist hates ska Hates ska, hates ska I keep on skanking Right back for more [Verse 2] Got a goldfish memory And a paper crown I try to get serious Then I bounce around She asked about my father I said, "He's fine, I guess" Then I blew a two-step In my Sunday best [Pre-Chorus] She crossed her arms I raised my hand Said, "If this is growth You won't understand" [Chorus] My therapist hates ska Hates ska, hates ska She heard that offbeat And she shut the door (shut the door) My therapist hates ska Hates ska, hates ska I keep on skanking Right back for more [Bridge] I know, I know I joke too much But every heavy heart Could use a little brass and such She said, "Be still" I said, "I'll try" Then I hit that bounce And grinned goodbye [Chorus] My therapist hates ska Hates ska, hates ska She heard that offbeat And she shut the door (shut the door) My therapist hates ska Hates ska, hates ska I keep on skanking Right back for more
