Trigger Happy Lyrics
Got an AK-47, well you know it makes me feel all right.
Gat an Uzi by my pillow, helps me sleep a little better at night.
There's no feeling any greater
Than to shoot first and ask questions later.
Now I'm trigger happy, trigger happy every day.
Well, you can't take my guns away, I got a constitutional right.
Yeah, I gotta be ready if the Commies attack us tonight.
I'll blow their brains out with my Smith and Wesson,
That oughta teach 'em all a darn good lesson.
Now I'm trigger happy, trigger happy every day.
(Oh yeah, I'm) trigger, trigger happy.
Yes, I'm trigger, trigger happy.
(Oh, baby I'm) trigger, trigger happy.
Yes, I'm trigger, trigger happy.
(Oh, I'm so) trigger, trigger happy.
Yes, I'm trigger, trigger happy.
Better watch out, punk, or I'm gonna have to blow you away.
Oh, I accidentally shot Daddy last night in the den.
I mistook him in the dark for a drug-crazed Nazi again.
Now why'd you have to get so mad?
It was just a lousy flesh wound, Dad.
You know, I'm trigger happy, trigger happy every day.
Oh, I still haven't figured out the safety on my rifle yet.
Little Fluffy took a round, better take him to the vet.
I filled that kitty cat so full of lead,
We'll have to use him for a pencil instead.
Well, I'm trigger happy, trigger happy every day.
(Oh yeah, I'm) trigger, trigger happy.
Yes, I'm trigger, trigger happy.
(Oh baby, I'm) trigger, trigger happy.
Yes, I'm trigger, trigger happy.
(Oh, I'm so) trigger, trigger happy.
Yes, I'm trigger, trigger happy.
Better watch out, punk, or I'm gonna have to blow you away.
Come on and grab your ammo.
What have you got to lose?
We'll get all liquored up
And shoot at anything that moves.
Got a brand new semi-automatic weapon with a laser sight.
Oh, I'm prayin' somebody tries to break in here tonight.
I always keep a Magnum in my trunk.
You better ask yourself, do you feel lucky, punk?
Because I'm trigger happy, trigger happy every day.
(Oh yeah, I'm) trigger, trigger happy.
Yes, I'm trigger, trigger happy.
(Oh baby, I'm) trigger, trigger happy.
Yes, I'm trigger, trigger happy.
(Oh, I'm so) trigger, trigger happy.
Yes, I'm trigger, trigger happy.
Better watch out, punk, or I'm gonna have to blow you away.

Hilarious and awesome song, I laughed so hard when I heard it. "I mistook him in the dark for a drug-crazed Nazi again.", god that's classic. The song is about a gun obsessed person who owns many guns, such as an AK-47, an Uzi, a Magnum and much more. It lists his antics with his guns (such as shooting his father in the den, or shooting his cat Fluffy). The song could possibly be about gun control, but more likely is just meant to provide humorous and light hearted material.
I love this song. Done in the style of the beach boys I believe it's in reference to people who love guns and are indeed a bit to eager to use it at any given opportunity.
In another of weird al's songs 'canadian idiot' he comments how Canadians (don't even take their guns to the mall?)
So possibly a comment on the ease in which guns are obtained in America and used in self defence often by mistake. (poor kitty)
Guns are not often used in self-defense by mistake. They are used about 2.5 millions times a year for self-defense according to the FBI and Department of Justice.

Whereas only about 13,000 people die from being shot every year (this include police, criminals, law-abiding citizens in self-defense, and accidents by any of the previous three).

Contrast that to the hundreds of thousands of deaths related to driving every year and you might find a REAL issue is texting/drinking while driving...

Also, 49 states allow some way for a normal citizen to carry a firearm for self-defense. Illinois is the only state...

no comments? come on, this is weird al at his finest. one of my favorite originals (only a style parody)
First time I herd this song I was laughing my ass off.
geez people, comment on this song! I love Al and I love this song, what more can I say?
Weird Al strikes again with his satirical pen to make a serious statement on a hot-button issue. It wouldn't surprise if he penned this song with the issue of gun control on his mind. Great, great song.
One of the funniest lines I think Al ever wrote, my friend and I quote it all the time to make each other laugh:
I filled that kitty cat so full of lead, We'll have to use him for a pencil instead.
Poor thing! LOL
well i think that this is one of weird al's "gayer" songs...
