Cardboard Boxes |
| I’m gonna go to the supermarket |
| I’m gonna go to the liquor store |
| I’m gonna get me some cardboard boxes |
| You know what them boxes are for |
| I’m gonna rent me a U-Haul trailer |
| Hook it on the back of my old car |
| Call up some of my stronger buddies |
| That’s what your strong buddies are for |
| We’re gonna move |
| We’re gonna move, yeah, move |
| Give it to the Salvation Army or the Goodwill |
| We’ve got so much junk it’s a joke |
| Wrap a knickknack in some old newspaper |
| I know it was a present, but the damn thing broke |
| Your old shoes and my old T-shirts |
| My strong buddies crave ice cold beers |
| Don’t throw that away; |
| it’s a family heirloom |
| I’ve had that ashtray for 15 years |
| We’re gonna move |
| We’re gonna move, yeah, move |
| We’re gonna empty out our old place |
| Move into a brand new better space; |
| move |
| We got the books and the records and the tapes and the pictures |
| And the pots and the pans and all the breakable glass |
| The living room couch and the dining room table |
| The washer and the dryer; |
| what a pain in the ass |
| We’ve got the TV and the home entertainment center |
| The box spring and the queen-size bed |
| We got the Christmas decorations and the bureau and the playpen |
| If we had a piano, I think I’d drop dead |
| We’re gonna move |
| We’re gonna move, yeah, move |
| At the end day, the old place is empty |
| And the new place houses all of our stuff |
| Unpack all the crap in the cardboard boxes |
| It wasn’t that bad; |
| no, it wasn’t so rough |
| My strong buddies look a little bit grumpy |
| I don’t why I broke my butt |
| Tomorrow we’ll call up the telephone company |
| And get another set of house keys cut |
| We’re gonna move |
| We’re gonna move, yeah, move |
| I can tell by the look on your face |
| You just love our brand new better space, baby, move |
| We’re gonna move, we’re gonna move |
| We’re gonna move, we’re gonna move |
| Yeah, move |
