about

Apparently I could give a good stiff-arm when a guy I'm not interested in makes overtures, which is pretty embarrassing since I've been on the wrong end of that before and wouldn't wish it on anyone. So when my pal Duke called me on it, I wrote "Dismissed With The Quicks", which was his term for it.

lyrics

Dismissed With The Quicks © 2002 JAY SPEARS MUSIC ASCAP

It couldn’t be a fluke,
Cause me and my pal Duke
Heard how you rejected
A guy we both respected.
All we could say was “wow!”
When he told us how he was

Dismissed with the quicks.
Dismissed with the quicks.

And that guy you hosed last week?
My favorite ex, you freak.
He wasn’t tryin’ ta screw ya
He just said “hello” to ya but ya
Turned on your heel
How do ya think it feels to be

Dismissed with the quicks?
Ya pitilessly dissed him.
Dismissed with the quicks.
Ya flushed him from the system.

You’re thinkin’ you’re so fine
But you’re way out of line
Snooty pseudo-dude; bratty attitude
So spare me all the drama,
Cut down on the trauma
Play nice like yo momma taught ya.

Dismissed with the quicks. 86ed
Dismissed with the quicks. Nix nix nix

And now you’re hittin’ on me?
You have got to be
K-I-double-D, I-N-G.
To forgive is divine,
But you’ve been such a swine
We’ll hear your piggy squeals
When you see how it feels to be

Dismissed with the quicks.
I’m telling all my sisters
You’re history now, mister.
Ya had it comin’ to ya
Now crawl back to ya sewer.
Ya smarmy little pup
Come back when you grow up.
