A half-true urban myth now half-recalled and fully fused with unquestionably questionable advice lovingly wrapped in the shimmering patina of a quarantine fever dream that shifts wistfully to the coming spring and the promise of a promise of uninterrupted allergic reactions to love. 60’s trans-girl groups also figure prominently, as well they should.
Don’t Worry is not only The Falsies song of the month for March 2020 but maybe even more importantly it’s also the debut of a deranged punk debutante! Ladies and gentleman and everyone in between, let us introduce an especially unhinged, inaugural lead vocal by the one and lonely, Carter “Drunken Jersey Jazz” Lewis!
Coran Capshaw writes,
“The Falsies new song of the month “Don’t Worry” harkens back to a simpler time when men were men and women were too.”
He may or may not be right but he knows The Falsies understand that 2020 is an absurd time to be in love, let alone be. And so, with undiminished affection we present... Don’t Worry!
lyrics
Don't Worry
Hunka Papa said, "Who Hoo Ha Ha!!"
Getttin' junky with that Mu Ju Rah!
You say hello and then you say ta-ta
well alright...
Oasis stasis
with them drunky Jo's
Stamens and pistils wavin' to and fro
You're gonna get yours
Baby, don't you know?
It's alright!
Wax on the tadpole demure
You're gonna get yours for sure
We will cajole and implore you
to find, find...
yourself in someone else's sweater
hangin' out on a sandwich with cheddar
don't worry it can only get better
in no time
Oasis stasis
with them junky dro's
Stamens and pistils wavin' to and fro
You're gonna get yours
Baby, dust your nose
It's alright!
Wax on the tadpole demure
You're gonna get yours for sure
We will cajole and implore you
to find, find...
Listen up Jonny...
Remember what I told you that fateful day when we were walking in the park,
when the flowers were blooming and the birds were singing....
we kissed for the first time
and I said always knew you were the one for me
And I meant it, Jonny!
I’ll always be there to comfort you and give you advice
in good times and bad
and the best advice I know is what my momma told me when she said
Wax the tadpole Jonny... wax it demure... and you’ll get yours for sure
Oh I can hear her words echo all the way from Brooklyn!
Can ya hear her?
Can you hear it, Jonny?
The whole neighborhood's joining in Jonny... listen... listen!
They’re singing about us, Jonny!
Wax on the tadpole demure
You're gonna get yours for sure
We will cajole and implore you
to find, find...

How do we rock thee? Let us count the ways.
We rock thee to the depth and breadth &
height
Our amps can reach, when feeding back all night
In our long sets, & with our lack of breaks.
We rock thee to the decibel of every stage's
Most violent need, by PA & strobing light.
We rock thee freely, as we scream in mics;
We rock thee purely, as we turn a phrase.
We rock thee... ...more
