DON'T YUK MY YUM (LYRICS)

YOU’RE ALWAYS TELLING ME
WHAT I’M SUPPOSED TO BE
NO ROOM TO DISAGREE OR HAVE AN OPINION

WHO I SHOULD LIKE OR SNUB
TO JOIN YOUR PRIVATE CLUB
BUT NOW I’M GIVING UP AS ONE OF YOUR MINIONS

I’M MAKING MY OWN CHOICE
LISTEN TO MY OWN VOICE
I’M STANDING UP - I’LL SHOUT IT OUT LOUD

DON’T YUK MY YUM
DON’T YUK MY YUM
STOP TREATING ME LIKE SOME BABY SUCKING MY THUMB
DON’T TELL ME WHAT’S COOL
DON’T SELL ME YOUR RULES
I LIVE MY OWN LIFE CAUSE YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE (YOLO)
JUST DON’T YUK MY YUM

YOU SIT ABOVE THE REST
WHO HAVE TO PASS THE TEST
WHAT’S HOT AND NOT THE BEST
FROM YOUR TOWER

I WANTED TO BELONG
WITH ALL YOUR HANGERS-ON
I SEE THAT I WAS WRONG
I’M TAKING THE POWER

YOU ALWAYS CALL ME NAMES
IF I DON’T THINK THE SAME
I LIKE WHAT I LIKE
I’M STANDING MY GROUND

CHORUS

[RAP]
LOOK IM NOT WHAT THEY WANTED ME TO BE,
IM DIFFERENT,
NOT LISTENING - TO NEGATIVITY,
AIN’T NO COMPETITION IN LIFE BUT YOU,
YOU’RE THE ONLY ONE YOU HAVE TO PROVE,
WHAT TO DO,
I GOT THE FEELIN' THAT I COULD BE GREAT
I DONT GOT TIME FOR THE HATE,
WATCHING THE BULLIES JUST FADE AWAY, YEAH,
YOU CAN CALL ME NAMES, IT WONT HURT NO MORE,
I BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH, 
I'LL GO THROUGH SOME MORE,
JUST TO SHOW THEM THAT I’M EVERYTHING
I KNEW I'D BE,
YOU CAN’T CONTROL THE WAY I FEEL,
NOW I KNOW I’M FREE.

I’M MAKING MY OWN CHOICE
LISTEN TO MY OWN VOICE
I LIKE WHAT I LIKE
I’M STANDING MY GROUND

NO BULLY NO BULLY NO BULLY BULLY
YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE (SING!) – YOLO YOLO

(ADD OVER BULLY)
DON’T YUK MY YUM
STOP TREATING ME LIKE SOME BABY SUCKING MY THUMB
DON’T TELL ME WHAT’S COOL
DON’T SELL ME YOUR RULES
I LIVE MY OWN LIFE

CHORUS 2X

About the song, DON'T YUK MY YUM:
DYMY is for anyone who ever felt outside: All races, body types, sexual orientations. For anyone who - at school or at work, with family, friends or strangers who has been told you don’t count, or who you are or what you like isn’t good enough. So, how do you combat bullying, hate and peer pressure? WITH A CELEBRATION OF SELF! With joy and fun! We want DYMY to encourage people to stand up for themselves and say to the world “This is me! This is who I am! This is what I think! This is what I like! And don’t tell me that I should be anything or anyone but myself. DON’T YUK MY YUM!!”  We want everyone to be able to simply say “DYMY.” And snap!

This the first song I’ve ever written that I didn’t record myself. It began when my son, Cooper, came home from school, and I negatively commented on something he said that he liked. “Don’t Yuk My Yum, Dad.” I heard him loud and clear. So I wrote a song! And then writer/producer Kyle Puccia came on board to co-create it with me. I got Suzie Rose to do her fierce vocal! Then newcomer, Jason Rose, replied to a Craigslist add for a rapper and wrote and recorded his part!

Then director, Andy Putschoegl, and I decided to make a music video. Rather than go typical, we decided to make it more universal with all types. REAL PEOPLE! We had an open call in LA and the turnout was amazing!

It was a long day of shooting and we ended up with 3 ½ hours of footage for a 3 minute song. After endless editing we got all we’d hoped for. SIXTY PEOPLE PUTTING IT OUT THERE – every single one believing in DYMY as a personal declaration. We hope it speaks to you.
