Trimming With Zerk

Verse 1

Old Zerk in the garden with a plan

Goggles on his head

Looking like a frantic orange-vested man

Gas tank's almost dry

Slinging plastic rope and making pebbles fly

Cutting down the clovers while he tries to satisfy

The neighbors watching from the porch

Pre-Chorus

Green stains on his denim

Green stains on his shoes

Green stains on his hands

Chorus

Weedeater guy does a whole lot of work

Weedeater guy

Real name's Zerk

Weedeater guy does a whole lot of work

Weedeater guy

Real name's Zerk

Verse 2

Spinning wild near the flower bed

Mistake made

Roses losing petals while his face turns red

Backyard looking jagged and the lines are thin

Trimmed it

Cut it

Scraped it to the skin

Waving at the mailman with a toothy grin

Checking for a root or two to yank

Pre-Chorus

Green stains on his denim

Green stains on his shoes

Green stains on his hands

Chorus

Weedeater guy does a whole lot of work

Weedeater guy

Real name's Zerk

Weedeater guy does a whole lot of work

Weedeater guy

Real name's Zerk

Bridge

Watch out for the garden hose

Watch out for the toes

Watch out for the wire

Zerk is a lawn mower satire

He is retired

He is inspired

Chorus

Weedeater guy does a whole lot of work

Weedeater guy

Real name's Zerk

Weedeater guy does a whole lot of work

Weedeater guy

Real name's Zerk
