you got a lawn mower
it don’t cut grass
it ain’t goin’ nowhere
it’s out of gas
you know you don’t need it
you know you don’t want it
so put it on the curb
and put a price on it
have a yard sale

you got a lamp on a stand
that ain’t got no shade
you got something weird
that your grandma made
you got that kind of junk
you can’t give away
so put an ad in the paper
saturday
have a yard sale

why shop at a regular store
when out here your dollar buys more
everything you see is sold as is
come over here honey
take a look at this
it’s a yard sale

you got a toy alligator
and a doll with no hair
you got genuine chrome plated
silverware
you got an exercise bike
with a broken chain
you got a painting you never liked
but at least it’s framed
you ain’t got room to swing a cat
where in the world
d’you find a thing like that
but at a yard sale
why shop at a regular store . . .

i bought a lawn mower
it don’t cut grass
it ain’t goin nowhere
it’s out of gas
i know i don’t need it
i know i don’t want it
but i couldn’t resist it
when i saw the price on it
at a yard sale
