Story Behind The Song
I was in a McDonalds drive thru and I ordered a Filet-o-Fish. Drove away and opened bag. It was a Big Mac and fries. The whole song came into my head so fast, I pulled my car over and wrote it. Had to switch the Big Mac with the File-o-Fish though :) "This Isn't What I Ordered" applies to so many things, I kept taking it farther until I was talking to God. This song has been used for funny TicToc videos all over the world. People showing what they ordered vs. what they received.

Lyrics
Excuse me Mrs. Maam, but I didn?t order this
I wanted a Big Mac and fries and you gave me Filet-O-Fish
I guess you didn?t hear, it seems you didn?t care...
It?s getting real hard to find good help anywhere.
This Isn?t What I Ordered - this isn?t right at all...
This Isn?t What I Ordered - I don?t like it at all.
This Isn?t What I Ordered - won?t someone make it right?
This Isn?t What I Ordered - please take it from my sight.
Excuse me Mr. Sir, but this isn?t what I saw
When I pictured our life together I didn?t picture football
On our T.V. all the time, and you upon the couch
I?m sorry if this hurts you, I don?t mean to be a grouch.
This Isn?t What I Ordered - this isn?t right at all...
This Isn?t What I Ordered - I don?t like it at all.
This Isn?t What I Ordered - won?t someone make it right?
This Isn?t What I Ordered - I can?t be here tonite.
They told me I should pray...Just ask and I?ll receive
If it won?t even work at McDonalds, it?s hard to believe...
This Isn?t What I Ordered - this isn?t right at all...
This Isn?t What I Ordered - I don?t like it at all.
This Isn?t What I Ordered - won?t someone make it right?
This Isn?t What I Ordered
Excuse me, you up there.... I can?t believe I?m here.
In a world so polluted with people full of fear.
I often think about you, like does it strike you odd....?
That they worship Air Jordan instead of you, God.
This Isn?t What I Ordered - this isn?t right at all...
This Isn?t What I Ordered - I don?t like it at all.
This Isn?t What I Ordered - won?t someone make it right?
This Isn?t What I Ordered - please take it from my sight.
