Don't Worry Keep Swingin'

Peter Jacobsen & Scott Record

I just saw that shot you hit,

You’re playing so bad you want to quit

Don’t worry, keep swingin’

You just hit your ball into some trouble,

If you don’t chip it out, you’ll make a double

Don’t worry, keep swingin’

Don’t worry, keep swingin’ now

(Don’t worry, keep swingin’, don’t worry, keep swingin’

You’re not very good anyway. You’re not good enough to get mad.

So just forget it, ok?)

The crowd thinks you’ve got a lot of class,

But you can’t stick a putt to save your ass, but

Don’t worry, keep swingin’

You’re out of bounds and you get the blues,

It doesn’t really matter cause you’re going to lose, so

Don’t worry, keep swingin’

(Look at the way you dress! You look like a fool,

I’m going to tell your mother. Let me give you my home phone number.

Call me and I’ll give you a lesson over the phone. That always works.)

You just hit into another trap,

Your game has suddenly turned to crap but

Don’t worry, keep swingin’

You just double-bogied #6,

Now you want to go and slit your wrists

Don’t worry, keep swingin’

(Ha, ha, ha, ha, I can’t believe you think you’re a good player.

You’re lousy. Let me tell you. Look at your grip!

It’s way too strong. Take my word for it. I wouldn’t lie to you.)

You ride around in your golf cart,

You’re getting so fat, and that’s not smart but

Don’t worry, keep swingin’

You think the putt breaks to the right,

When it goes left you don’t look so bright, but

Don’t worry, keep swingin’

(It’s kind of a weird game anyway, isn’t it? But I like it.

It’s not good for you. You have no athletic ability at all.

I should know, I’m your best friend.)

(If I were you, I’d give the game up.

Take up something good for you like checkers or jacks or tiddliwinks.

Maybe you can throw your clubs into the lake, but with your luck,

they’d float, you can mess up another round of golf.)
