Toddler With a Slingshot (Hell Yep) - Bug Hunter

You pay me to exaggerate, I think I’ve done enough

Of turning bummers into heartaches and crushes into love

Sometimes our lives are mild, our stories: just okay

I’ll set your expectations in the middle when I say: «Hell yep»

A hell yep

And knock me down a peg

When I wanna be a big shot

I’m just a toddler

With a slingshot

For example:

I got cornered by a salesman at a farmers market booth

Selling cheap ceramic bowls mant for dogs to eat their food

I haggle lik a master, I showed them how I do

I didn’t want one, but I got a deal for two

Hell yep

I don’t have a regret

Or a dog

Knock me down a peg

When I wanna be a big shot

I’m just a toddler with a slingshot

Don’t have the strength

Don’t have the aim

I’m building up my motor skills and everything’s a game

You say I’m harmless (you're probably right)

But nothing is more trouble than a toddler going quiet

Keep an eye on me, keep your eye, keep your eye on me

… and knock me down a peg when I wanna be a big shot

I’m just a toddler with a slingshot

I asked for half your candy bar

You raised it in the air

And split it down the middle

Made a perfect little pair

You smiled like a sweetheart

My hand extended out

You winked at me and popped

Both of the pieces in your mouth

Hell nope

That one’s a hell nope… no mercy with a Hershey ‘fore she

Knocked me down a peg

When I wanna be a big shot

I’m just a toddler with a slingshot

Don’t have the strength

Don’t have the aim

I’m building my-my-motor skills

And everything’s a game

You say I’m harmless (so did Goliath)

But nothing is more trouble

Than a toddler going quiet

Keep an eye on me

Keep your eye, keep your eye

And watch me well

Or I’ll raise a little hell

… a hell yep

They asked me for a catch phrase

I didn’t miss a step

If their story’s kind of boring

You can tell 'em: «Hell Yep,» Hell Yep!

Knock me down a peg

When I wanna be a big shot

And I will kick it up the next notch

And if I work, put in the labor

Blood, sweat, call in every favor

Eat my veggies, say my prayers

Push myself to be a danger…

… I’ll be a preteen with a Taser
