Power Tools |
Well, some folks say that grown-up men are still just little boys |
But really, the only difference, is the price of our toys |
We go from macho symbols, like guns and runnin' shoes |
Pickup truck, huntin' ducks, and power tools |
Power tools (Power tools) |
Power tools (Power tools) |
Yeah, just plug 'em in the wall and think of all you can do! |
You can plant a garden, fix your car |
Build a house, if you want to |
If you got the proper power tools (Power tools) |
Hello, emergency room? |
Yeah, I just fired up my new gas-powered weed whacker there |
And somehow or another it got caught in the hammer loop of my Big Smith overalls |
Yeah, before I could get her set down she plumb screwed me about three foot in |
the front lawn there! |
Yeah, my wife hollered out the front door, «Hey, Shorty! |
While you’re down |
there how 'bout checkin' the fescue for aiphids» |
Huh! |
She’s a real comedienne, that woman! |
Hardy Har Har! |
Well, some folks say that macho men use tools to compensate |
For a decline in virility, now I thought about that and wait! |
There may be some validity in what those people say |
But in my case it’s the only way I get to go outside and play! |
Boy I love this stuff! |
Hello, 911? |
Yeah, I was just in the garden there tryin' out my new direct-drive rototiller |
When the rawhide lace from my Red Goose work show somehow or another got |
tangled in that outboard tiller tie |
Yeah, before I could get her shut down she plumb drug me clean across the lawn |
up underneath the neighbor’s Toyota 4X4! |
Wife hollered our the door, «Hey, Shorty!» |
Funny how a name will stick with you |
like that |
«Hey, Shorty, if you’re gonna play Mr. Goodwrench looks like you’d fix our old |
jalopy first!» |
I tell you that woman’s a regular Rosanne Barr |
Well 911 rescued me, carried me away |
To the local hospital, for at least a two week stay |
The doctor said, «I hope you’ve learned your lesson, thanks to power tools |
you’re nearly dead!» |
I didn’t hear a word he said, I was playin' with my power bed! |
Power tools (Power tools) |
Power tools (Power tools) |
Hello, nurse’s station? |
Could you send someone to room 403? |
Quick! |
Yeah, my power bed’s stuck in the up position, I’m folding up in here like a |
big taco! |
Ow! |
Ow! |
Yeah, if you got the proper power tools! |
Hello, honey? |
Don’t be alarmed |
Just quietly evacuate the neighborhood and call the bomb squad! |
