The Lawnmower Song 03:27
lyrics
buy track
My lawnmower's made for mowin' big lawns. It's a twelve horsepower tall grass mowin' machine. When it's time for mowin', well, I start that sucker goin', Throw the handle and them blades start a-whirlin'. My lawnmower, I'm a-lookin' out for danger. Don't wanna be cuttin' up my good garden hose. There's a frisbee and a log, watch out you little dog, My lawnmower is not meant for killin'. I drive my lawnmower all around the edge line, Under trees and around the fence as best as I can. There's some tall grass I can't get to, So you know what I'll have to do, Get my weed wacker and I'll wack them suckers out later. Now my lawnmower is not built for racin', It's for crusin' around the lawn and gettin' tan. My cute neighbor's in her pool, and I'm a-lookin' real cool, With my T-shirt tied around my head just like a sweatband. Now my lawnmower, it bags all the grass behind it. I don't have to bust my ass with a garden rake. I'll dump it out on the burn pile, and take a break for a little while, Light myself a smoke and set that bitch on fire. If you need some heavy duty mowin' just give me a holler. I'll mow your whole damn lawn won't ask for a single dollar. I have a kick-ass twelve horsepower, will travel!

Crazy Fool 04:35
lyrics

Crazy fool I’m a crazy fool I’m a crazy fool What kind of crazy fool am I? To be in love with a girl so lovely She is always on my mind And she doesn’t care about me Won’t give me the time of day or night Is my timing right? Crazy fool I’m a crazy fool I’m a crazy fool What kind of crazy fool am I? To be writing all these letters When they’ll only make her sigh And when I ask her did she read them She will only ask me why I’m such a fool Such a crazy foolish fool Crazy fool I’m a crazy fool I’m a crazy fool What kind of crazy fool am I? To be asking her to dinner And a romantic picture show I’d like to tell her something About the way our love can grow But she’s so damn high Above my crazy foolish kind Crazy fool I’m a crazy fool I’m a crazy fool What kind of crazy fool am I? To be reading her a love poem Wearing my fancy Buster Browns And when I wonder why she’s laughing It’s because my fly is down But it’s alright It’s all part of my crazy foolish plight Crazy fool I’m a crazy fool I’m a crazy fool I’m a crazy foolish fool

Sorry Charlie 02:21
lyrics

Well I walked on in through her front door A circus clown was laying down his nipples were sore She was holding a monkey wrench and wearing lingerie And all she had to say was sorry Charlie Sorry Charlie Well I stuck my head through her window She was lying in a bubble bath with an oboe And a violin player who was eating pâté And all she had to say was sorry Charlie Sorry Charlie Sorry Charlie you're not my type Won't you get it through your head and get on with your life Sorry Charlie Sorry Charlie Well I stuck my head through her register Her room was covered with white feathers Farmer Brown was naked on a bail of hay And all she had to say was sorry Charlie Sorry Charlie Well I slid down her chimney and through her fireplace She was sitting on a bald man with pierces in his face She was rubbing his butt with Oil of Olay And all she had to say was sorry Charlie Sorry Charlie Sorry Charlie you're not my type Won't you get it through your head and get on with your life Sorry Charlie Sorry Charlie Goodbye Charlie

I Hurt You 03:11
lyrics

You know about those women, Their names are all around town. And you know how many times I said I wouldn't go after them. So, now youíre guns are in my face And I finally realize that I've hurt you, I've hurt you, and I'm wrong Won't you look at me with those eyes like when we first met, How we rode out together under the stars We must go back to find that love once again for both of us 'Cause I've hurt you, I've hurt you and I'm wrong This is the first time someone cared for me, And I sure don't know how to feel Don't like what we've chosen here So it's time to change the scene We've done it before we can do it again If we both want to work really hard The other women don't mean nothing now 'cause I've hurt you, I've hurt you, and I'm sorry. I feel a change coming over me like I've never felt before As I look you so deeply in the eyes I want to be together with you, you, only you For today, for tomorrow, until I die For today, for tomorrow, until I die

I Think I Prefer The Country 02:48
lyrics
buy track
Well I lived in New York City, San Francisco, DC And I had a good job in all three City life was fun but I was always on the run And I think I prefer the country Now country life is simple and a boy can relax Underneath a big shady tree But when a country boy gets wild he's a city boy times three And I think I prefer the country Now the city is a fun place, there's something going on There's plenty of style and class But in the country I can go fishing and sleep on the grass And that's why I prefer the country Now in the country life is simple, it's kimochi-ii And a boy can feel so free Like picking flowers, tending bees And drinking a six of RWB That's why I prefer the country And I think I prefer the country

Clark County Jail 03:06
lyrics
buy track
I stuck a dime in the phone and I dialed her number Said, "Kimmy, what's happened to us?" She said, "Sloan, you're an ass, a drunken maniac, Got me a restrainin' order against you." I grabbed my bottle of Jim Beam and I drained my last swallow, And I slammed it down on the bar. I hung up the phone, grabbed my aching knee bone, And I limped my way out to my car. I slammed into the dumpster of her apartment complex, And I busted through her front window screen. She was sitting with Duke around a candle light dinner, Drinking Earnest and Julio Gallo. Well, I picked up a chair and I went for Duke's head, And he jumped up and he pushed me on the floor. He tied me up with a rope, washed his hands off with soap, And Kimmy said, "Man, I'm calling the cops." I wiggled and squirmed and pulled my knife from my boot, Cut the rope and I split through the door. As I looked back at Kimmy, I slammed into a cruiser, And the coppers slapped the handcuffs on me. I'm a punk, I'm a drunk, I'm a-wasted again. Bruised bloody and callin' for Earl. So I'll spend another night in the Clark County Jail, While Duke lays at home with my love.

The Animal BCs 02:07
lyrics

A an alligator bites a B bear and C a cow is cryin', 'Cause D a duck done doo-dooed all over her head. E an elephant and his pal F frog are skippin' church on Sunday, For a game of poker with G billy goat instead. H a horse helps himself to a course of I fried iguanas. A J jaguar doe-C-does with a K kangaroo. L a lion is dippin' Skoal with a mangy M mouse, And N a narwhal picks himself up a new pack of chew. Well every Friday night after we get paid, You know what we like to do. Go out a-singin' them Animal BC's, In a place where A is for animal and B is for beer, And C is for cuttin' the rug. An O octopus pisses off a P pig for pickin' on her piglets. And Q a quail's diggin' taters with an R raccoon. S a squirrel and his friend T turtle form a rockin' jug band, With U an umbrella bird who plays the spoons. Well, it's Friday, we've all been paid, You know what we're gonna do, Go a-singin' them Animal BC's, In a place where A is for animal and B is for beer, And C is for cuttin' the rug. V a vulture and W walrus are sittin' on the front porch. They take a big whiff and they say "Smell that honeysuckle!" Z a zebra jumps over X fox and yakety Y yak, 'Cause he's so damned tired of always being last. Well, Friday night, we've all been paid, You know what we're a-doin', We're singin' them Animal BC's, In a place where A is for animal and B is for beer, And C is for cuttin' the rug.

A Quickie In The Afternoon 03:00
lyrics
buy track
I love it when you look at me and motion, To follow you on up the stairs. And it only takes a minute or two, To get us goin' on our way, With a quickie in the afternoon. I love those days when my morning has been dragging, And I'm clear up to my neck in my work. To look up, see you standin' at the door, Sayin', "Hurry up, man, it's a quarter to four, Time for a quickie in the afternoon." I get so damn high, as though I can fly From my bootstraps, clear up to the sky. And there ain't nothing on this earth today, That can take my blues away, Like a quickie in the afternoon. I love the fact that you are my woman, This day, tomorrow and forever more. And I love that neither rain nor shine, You won't let a single day go by, Without a quickie in the afternoon.

I wanna be chained to the barge that's sailin' to my girl Cincinnati is wearin' and tearin' down on me I'll sleep chained to a pile of coal on the river If it means I can see my Mindy in St. Louis I'll quit my job at Proctor and Gamble Buy a fourteen karat golden wedding ring And ride that barge all the way to the port in Missouri Where I will see my Mindy standin' and waving to me I'll greet her covered head to toe with black soot from the coal barge Give her a big dirty kiss on her pink clean cheek And she'll soap me up and rinse me all down And she will march me off to the Justice of the Peace
