To the tune of “How Deep Is Your Love?” By The Bee Gees, here is… “How Gross Is Your Mug?”
A song rewrite about an old colleague that I still think about years later. Not because they were charming, but because they were disgusting.
I noticed that our cabinets were bare
You didn’t leave a mug ’cause you just don’t care
And as the dishes pile up in the sink
I see all these dark stains, and I stop to think
That you came to work from the grocery store
With a box of tea, and some trash bags too
But you throw your teabags into the sink
And now I can’t even look at you!
How gross is your mug?
How gross is your mug, how-gross-is-your-mug?
I don’t really mean to learn
And is it even dishwasher-safe?
What a disgrace
Weeks of coffee stains in it
Looks like you’ve been sippin’ shit
Na-na-na-na-naaa
I’d rather you just use our plastic
If you could spare my china, it would be fantastic
Everytime that I go near the kitchen
I’m so disgusted that it leaves me itchin’
In the break room they say you’re a celebrity
From the outstanding work that you always do
How is it I’m the only one who can see
That your mug looks like it’s been cleaned with poo?
How gross is your mug?
How gross is your mug, how-gross-is-your-mug?
I don’t really mean to learn
And is it even dishwasher safe?
What a disgrace
Weeks of coffee stains in it
Looks like you’ve been sipping shit
Na-na-na-na-naaa
