Yard Work
Yard Work Chronicles: A Humorous Escape from Daily Grind
Lyrics
Think I'll go out and do some yard work
Expressing the intention to engage in yard work.
The sun is high up in the sky
Noting the sunny weather as a favorable condition for yard work.
Can't go out drinkin' cause I'm dead broke
Financial constraints prevent going out for drinks.
The funny thing is, I don't know why
Uncertain about the reason for being broke, adding a humorous touch.
Guess my wife's been off chargin' that credit card (again)
Suspecting spouse's credit card use, expecting her return.
She'll be back someday, I just don't know when
Ambiguity about the spouse's return date.
Think I'll go out and do some yard work
Reiterating the intention to do yard work as a consistent activity.
It's the party that never ends
Describing yard work as an ongoing, unending task.
Think I'll go out and do some yard work
Repetition of the commitment to yard work.
Chop those green whiskers down low
Specifically, trimming the grass low.
I got this boss and he's a real jerk
Expressing discontent with a difficult boss.
I'd love to tell him what he don't know
Desire to share unspoken thoughts with the boss.
'Bout how I like to poison those yard rats (Damn go-fers!)
Expressing frustration with yard rats (go-fers) and a desire to eliminate them.
I'd like to put HIM where the sun don't show
Extending the desire to unpleasant consequences for the boss.
Think I'll go out and do some yard work
Reiteration of doing yard work to prove regularity.
Just to prove that I'm a regular Joe
Highlighting the act of yard work as a symbol of being an ordinary person.
Well looky here, who's that coming cross the lawn now?
Observing someone approaching, building suspense.
It's Junior, fresh from his 18-hour snooze
Introducing Junior, seemingly carefree and lazy.
He thinks he's got no one to answer to
Junior believes he has no responsibilities.
Thinks he's got nothin to lose
Junior perceives a lack of consequences for his actions.
But I'm the one holdin' his car keys
Claiming authority over Junior's car keys, asserting control.
So I'm the one who gets the last cruise (ha!)
Boasting about having the final say in matters involving Junior.
I think it's time for HIM to do some yard work
Suggesting Junior should take on yard work responsibilities.
I'm hittin' the hammock for a little snooze
The speaker plans to relax while Junior works.
Damn lawnmower -- out of gas again!
Frustration with a lawnmower out of gas, disrupting yard work plans.
Look at all this crabgrass!
Expressing annoyance at the presence of crabgrass.
I got weeds & clover growin' all over!
Listing additional issues with weeds and clover overgrowth.
Where the hell is my trimmer twine?
Expressing frustration over a missing trimmer twine.
Junior, get over here and help me bag these weeds!
Calling on Junior to assist in the laborious task of bagging weeds.
Ya goddamn useless pervert! Get over here you goddamn idjut!
Expressing frustration and irritation towards Junior.
Oy friggin' vey... How 'bout you just get me nice tall glass of iced tea, OK?...
Sarcastically suggesting a preferable alternative - getting a glass of iced tea.
