The Lyrics

Abbreviated take on Geoff Mack's tongue-twister. Actual neighbors inspired this, btw. They'd probably place well in a national Stack-Off.
I was schleppin' my way through an unfamiliar neighborhood
When up rolled a geezer, said, 'Don't let me be misunderstood,
But if you think you've seen it all, Mack, come with me, take a ride'
So I hopped into his golf cart and he floored it fat and wide
At the house he skidded up to, said, 'Ever seen so many sofas, man?'
And I said, 'Listen, bud, my neighbors stack their s*** like no one can!'

They stack everything, man
They're stackin' everything, man
On end an old box spring, man
To bent hub caps they cling, man
Each day more junk they bring, man--
They stack everything!

They stack lanterns, lumber, old shoes, boots 'n bats
Tire rims, paint cans, screen doors, garden hats
Pots 'n pans, ceiling fans, lawn chairs, rubber mats
Garden hose, dirty clothes, jars o' nails and fence slats
Hammers, chain saws, yard sale bric-a-brac--
They stack everything!

They stack everything, man
With tarps 'n tape 'n string, man
They stacked the carport full, then
They stacked the porch up high and when
There's more to stack they go out back--
They stack everything!

They stack cardboard, bubble wrap, bathtubs, bailing wire
Plywood, firewood, magazines, and flat tires
Screen doors, car doors, 'frigerator, washer-dryer
Trunk lids, motor oil, grease-covered deep frier
Catcher mitts, hockey sticks, heap 'em on, stack 'em higher--
They stack everything!

The deck was saggin' toward the ground
From boxes, crates, 'n crap they found
One day it snapped, was fallin' down
The new one lets 'em walk around
But it's stackin' up fast, that space won't last--
'Cause they stack everything!
I think I see another truck pulling up..

I had a neighbor like that once. His yard finally exploded. Literally.
