Song Introduction
- Title: Spit Happens
- Instrumentation: Vocals, Synth(Chordbot), Piano(Chordbot) & Electric Guitar(Chordbot)
- Story Behind the Song: I'm not very good at creative writing, so to get my song topic, I looked around me. In the music room, above the door there's a sign that says "Spit Happens", and I thought that that would be an interesting topic.

Song Notation
(Verse)
He ran into a door,
got a gigantic splinter,
got stuck doing chores
and got frostbite in the winter
(Chorus)
So if you're walking around,
with a angry frown
don't feel down,
Spit happens
(Verse)
She got run over by a car
And got stuck liicking a pole
Burnt her hand on a cigar
And got her hand bit off by mole
(Chorus)
So if you're walking around,
with a angry frown
don't feel down,
Spit happens
So if you're walking around,
with a angry frown
don't feel down,
Spit happens
