Lyrics

It's the start of the new podcast season, but I keep ruining classic tunes as if the show was still back on AM radio. Enjoy!

Burning Down the House

Watch out! Deer might get my tomatoes
Hey Michael! Harvest might be in danger
Like any ordinary guy
I bought the little house

Wait, what? He just bought that house outright?
Wait, what? It sits there no one’s in it?
Who knows just how much did he pay
For the little house?

Here's the thing, this idea’s nuts
I guess it’s something he can afford
Now no one else can live near
Fawns get close but not too far
As Chessie wrecks the sod in your yard
Michael, come fix the wire…
