Happens every springtime, happens every falltime
Extension of ladder..from the shed, retreives
Putting on the yard gloves..nasty job of all time
Working on a roof edge..cleaning out the eaves

Cleaning out the eaves, cleaning out the eaves
There is no rejoicing..cleaning out the eaves
Cleaning out the eaves, sometimes, fight the heaves
From the stuff, I'm finding..cleaning out the eaves

Seeds and leaves of Maples, rusty nails and staples,
Fry bags from McDonald's..fishin' worms and fleas
Remnants of a birdnest..printed page from MapQuest
Krackerjacks, a toy thing..sticking in the eaves..

Cleaning out the eaves, cleaning out the eaves,
Small tree spouts and soiling, knitting needle weaves,
Cleaning out the eaves..ball cap, looks like Steve's
Crazy junk discovered..cleaning out the eaves

Pinch bugs, spiders creeping..Willow buds, still weeping
Fishing bobber, duct tape..pair of BVD's..
Bobby pins, used condoms..T shirt that says, "Bite Me!"
What a hairy harvest..cleaning out the eaves..

Cleaning out the eaves, how my spirit grieves
Western Union T-gram..and some old car keys
Cleaning out the eaves..half a can a' peas
Fin'lly find a dollar...cleaning out the eaves..
