Green Buckets

Won't you come over and stay for a while? 
Take a seat, have a drink, we'd have a nice time.
Turn on the TV I believe it's prime time.
I'll make you chicken cacciatore in five.

There's a woman down at 314 
Who can't keep the stains on her kitchen floor clean.
And there's a man who's been knockin' on his door
For three years, or has it been four?

I don't wanna spend the winter in this house all alone.
Those neighbors of mine keep coming on over and playing with my mind. 

I would like to love you, 
I sure would treat you right.
We could take the trash out 
Every Thursday night. 

Here in my neighborhood there is the strangest thing - 
Green buckets every Friday at every driveway.
They're filled with glasses, plastics, and newspapers, too.
They say they recycle and bring them back to you. 

I would like to love you, 
I sure would treat you right.
We could take the trash out 
Every Thursday night.
We could be a family, 
Consume many goods.
We could be the pillars 
Of the neighborhood. 

Ah babe, I'm a real hard worker 
With the proper tools, I'll make you anything you yearn for.
The barbarians are at the gate,
Come in before it's too late.
I have food enough to last the two of us about a year.
A thousand cans of chowder and a thousand cans of beer.
I love my neighbors like I love my own brothers,
But every year they're getting odder and odder. 

I would like to love you, 
I sure would treat you right.
We could take the trash out 
Every Thursday night.
We could be a family, 
Consume many goods.
We could be the pillars 
Of the neighborhood.
