Story Behind the Song 
This song is very Ska, yet it's also very Pop. The lyrics are really silly, But the chorus will reach out and grab you by the throat.
Lyrics 
The Tacky song
 
 
 
 1st verse:    I got a house, I got a dog, 
                      I got this little device that when you clap your hands your lights                                           
                      turn out.
                      I got a car, I got a bed,
                      I got this stuff that makes you look like you got hair when you                                      
                      spray it on your head.
 
 Chorus:       But I don't have you, I don't have you,
                      I wake up every morning all alone there's nothing I can do. 
 
 2nd verse:   I got a couch, I got a chair,
                       I got this little clay pet that when you water it, it starts to 
                       sprout hair. 
                       I got a pot, I got a pan, I got this junk that when you rub it on 
                       your skin you appear to have a tan.  
 
  Chorus:       But I don't have you, I don't have you,
                      I wake up every morning all alone there's nothing I can do. 
 
 Trans:         I've got alot of things that don't mean much to me...
                     but what I really want I can't have, oh can't you see?  
                     I've got alot of things that don't mean much to me...
                     but what I really want I can't have, oh can't you see? 
     
                                                   Horn solo: 
 
 Chorus:       But I don't have you, I don't have you,
                      I wake up every morning all alone there's nothing I can do.     
                      But I don't have you, I don't have you,
                      I wake up every morning all alone there's nothing I can do.
