Lyrics[edit]

Groundskeeper Willie:

I've a fancy suit,

And a clean white shirt,

But I miss the days when tractor fumes,

Blew up my skirt.

I was freezing cold,

And I slept in mold,

But I long for the shack where I lived.

She was true to me,

My old home of wood,

And when I passed out drunk from turpentine,

She understood.

Life was so sublime.

Mr. Largo:

Well, boo hoo, cuz I'm,

Hanging ferns in the shack where you lived!

Behind the Laughter[edit]
