Just give me the finger, I don't even care,

if you give it to me here, or if you do it from there,

from fingers of enemies to fingers of mates,

All the way from New Zealand to the United States.

 

Everybody should understand this idea of mine,
even Mexicans understand its universal design,
Maybe "no comprenda no english"
but they understand the finger just fine.

Being viewed as a rude gesture in so many places,
Interrupting this gallery with all of its graces,
Pictures of people of all different races,
Taking up space with a variety of faces.

There are no prejudices in The Finger Collection.
If a photo don't fit then I make a new section.
Unlimited photos, no age, weight, or class,
and if you're getting offended, well I warned you to pass.

Usually used to symbolize your wood,
Which is good, or better than saying whatever you could.
Ever wonder who first tried to make it obscene?
And wouldn't whoever saw it not know what they'd seen?
Standing confused, like "What the hell did that mean?"

Symbol's make communication easier for your brain,
Like trying to get our ex's not to call us again!
If you want them to back the up, to get out of your face,
just lean your head back and put two fingers in place.

Two offensive middle digits waiving in front of their head,
then say: We will never happen, our relationship is dead!
This doesn't work for me, my girls know to me it don't mean the same,
so does that mean that I'm messing up my own game?

You see, no two hands are ever the same,
so with camera in hand I am ready to aim.
Pictures from all lands are what I'm aiming for,
every photo is different and I want more.

These are the hands of all people, and the notorious digit,
Come to think of it, I still have not got one from a midget,
I've got them of people who are like two inches taller,
but I need a midget so find me one smaller.

Interested in the history, I knew somehow it'd fit.
I will tell you what I can about the mystery of it.
People been doing it for ages, it has a very long past.
It's interesting to study, to see how it evolved so fast.

You ever notice how we don't all do it the same?
It's because originations are different from places we came,
Like, I'll tell you a bit about one that I know,
cutting the finger off of prisoners so they can't fire a long bow.

So to opposite sides, this became an insult or taunt,
like "Hey look at this, I've got something you want!"
or from the victorious soldier when an enemy he sees...
"Hey look what I got, I bet you wish you had one of these."

 

Now wouldn't that make you snap before they even had time to blink?

It's worse than the old veterans who still call an Asian a "Chink!"

So now decades have passed and it's just absurd...

To people who think it has to do with the F-word!

 

They say the middle is the best digit to resemble a schlong,
Cuz it's in the middle, and which in comparison is long.

So if you see a girl holding the tip of it in her mouth,

maybe, just maybe she wants to go south.

In one version it was a pick up line, it meant you were making a pass,

so with any luck, later you would be tapping that ass!
But wait, to this story there is even more.
If she gestured at you that meant she was a whore.

 

So if you saw a girl with the finger up and a grin,

shoot it probably didn't even cost a nickel back then.

This is probably the closest to what the general belief is today,

heh, I just think it's funny all the things it can say.
