Song: The Golf Song

Song by: The Arrogant Worms

Gonna go out and play some golf ya ya

Gonna go out and play some golf

My golf bag's full of the latest stuff

I'm gonna go out and play some golf

My putter alone was a thousand bucks

I'm gonna go out and suck at golf

Think I better take a mulligan ya ya

Think I better take a mulligan

I put my ball in the pond again

I think I better take a mulligan

I tee it up and take a swing and then SPLASH

Can I get another mulligan?

Get up get up get up get up get up

a get down get down,

Hurry hurry hurry hurry hurry hurry

SLOW DOWN! SLOW DOWN

Dont hit the tree dont hit the tree

Please hit the tree

There must be something wrong with my clubs

All my friends hit it farther than me

YA all my friends hit it farther than me

I just hope I clear the ladies tee

Everybody hits it farther than me

Just 8 more strokes then I reach a par 3

That kid just hit it farther than me

Get up get up get up get up get up

A get down, get down

Hurry hurry hurry hurry hurry hurry

Slow down ball, slow down down down

Dont hit the tree dont hit the tree

Please hit the tree

I took a day off for this

Never be as good as Tiger Woods no no

Never be as good as Tiger Woods

My balls always goin off into the woods

Never be as good as Tiger Woods

I'm hookin' my arms and I'm pullin my woods (What?)

Never be as good as Tiger Woods

Get up get up get up get up get up

a get down get down

Hurry hurry hurry hurry hurry hurry

SLOW DOWN! SLOW DOWN

Dont hit the tree dont hit the tree

Hit the tree hit the tree

I really hate this stupid game

The Golf Song Lyrics Meaning

The lyrics of this song humorously depict the frustrations and challenges of playing golf.

The narrator is enthusiastic about the sport, evident in lines like "Gonna go out and play some golf" and having expensive equipment ("My putter alone was a thousand bucks").

However, the repeated mention of needing a mulligan (a do-over in golf) and the ball landing in undesirable places ("I put my ball in the pond again", "My balls always goin off into the woods") shows the narrator's struggles and lack of skill. 

The contrast between their high hopes and actual performance is a central theme, as they acknowledge their inadequacy compared to professional golfers like Tiger Woods.

The lyrics also express a sense of urgency and frustration during the game, as reflected in phrases like "Hurry hurry hurry" and "SLOW DOWN".

Overall, the song uses golf as a metaphor to humorously convey the experience of trying hard at something but not being very good at it.
