Lyrics:The Hayride

Pull up that bale of hay Your flatbed chariot awaits you My truck's the perfect way To see the entire town

Please point out all of the sights You think are worthy to mention Of course, anything for the shiny new owners of Mr. John's farm

Say, tell me who's that guy Carving up there with a chainsaw? I think that's quite a riot Where can we buy one of those?

That is the nice man who raised me He's kind of a surrogate father So if you want a good deal on a bear let's go say our hello (Hello)

Hello They call me Chainsaw Dick And a chainsaw I will use I carve animals from bright clean wood And the chainsaw is my muse

I don't paint with a brush or whittle with a knife I don't fiddle with ceramics, I done chose another life With both hands and some teeth I'll shape from wood so raw I create and inspire with my old chain—

Over on the left is where I fell in love with the hummingbird and the bumblebee Hey, is that a barn? That's where the ladies hold their quilting bee every Monday at three

Further in the woods (Further in the woods) You can see our house (You can see our house)

Oh, hey, chipmunks and that's a Siberian elm Edible mushrooms and how do I tell them About their maple tree (Look, a maple tree) What it means to me

Say, how about this air? Can you believe what a blue sky I hope we're all aware This is the most perfect breeze

Can we get back to my maple? You need to know I adore it It's like she's singing to me through the magical voice of her leaves

Look! Over on the left, is that a pond? That's my favorite fishing hole! Haha! Can you feel the love that's all around? It's love that makes the good things grow

Further in the woods (Further in the woods) You can see our house (You can see our house)

Listen to the maple, she's singing her maple-y song Follow her voice and you'll never go wrong She is a friend to me (He loves a maple tree) She's not just property She means much more, you see (He loves a maple tree) Love's too mild a word
