Power Tools

Well, some folks say that grown-up men are still just little boys
 But really, the only difference, is the price of our toys
 We go from macho symbols, like guns and runnin' shoes
 Pickup truck, huntin' ducks, and [**Vroom!**] Power Tools!
 (Chorus)
 Power Tools [(Power Tools)]
 Power Tools [(Power Tools)]
 Yeah, just plug 'em in the wall and think of all you can do!
 You can plant a garden, fix your car
 Build a house, if you want to
 If you got the proper power tools [(Power Tools)]
 (Spoken)
 Hello, Emergency Room?
 Yeah, I just fired up my new gas-powered weed whacker there
 And somehow or another it got caught in the hammer loop of my Big Smith overalls
 Yeah, before I could get her set down she plumb screwed me about three foot in the front lawn there!
 Yeah, my wife hollered out the front door, "Hey, Shorty! While you're down there how 'bout checkin' the fescue for aiphids"
 Huh! She's a real comedienne, that woman! Hardy Har Har!
 Well, some folks say that macho men use tools to compensate
 For a decline in virility, now I thought about that and wait!
 There may be some validity in what those people say
 But in my case it's the only way I get to go outside and play!
 [**Udden Udden! Vroom!] Boy I love this stuff!
 (Chorus)
 (Spoken)
 Hello, 911?
 Yeah, I was just in the garden there tryin' out my new direct-drive rototiller
 When the rawhide lace from my Red Goose work show somehow or another got tangled in that outboard tiller tie
 Yeah, before I could get her shut down she plumb drug me clean across the lawn up underneath the neighbor's Toyota 4X4!
 Wife hollered our the door, "Hey, Shorty!" Funny how a name will stick with you like that.
 "Hey, Shorty, if you're gonna play Mr. Goodwrench looks like you'd fix our old jalopy first!"
 I tell you that woman's a regular Rosanne Barr.
 Well 911 rescued me, carried me away
 To the local hospital, for at least a two week stay
 The doctor said, "I hope you've learned your lesson, thanks to power tools you're nearly dead!"
 I didn't hear a word he said, I was playin' with my power bed!
 [**Whirrrr**]

 Hello, nurse's station?
 Could you send someone to room 403? Quick!
 Yeah, my power bed's stuck in the up position, I'm folding up in here like a big taco!
 Ow! Owwww!
 Yeah, if you got the proper power tools!
 (Spoken)
 Hello, honey? Don't be alarmed, just quietly evacuate the neighborhood and call the bomb squad!
