Green Buckets

[Verse 1]

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 knocking on his own 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

[Chorus]

I would like to love ya

I sure would treat you right

We could take the trash out

Every Thursday night

[Verse 2]

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 'em back to you

[Chorus]

I would like to love ya

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

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

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

Got 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 brother

But every year, they're getting odder and odder

[Chorus]

I would like to love ya

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
