Heave on a Paper Plate Lyrics
The grill is smokin'
My friends are jokin'
The kids are pokin' around in the mud
The sprinkler's broken
We got a little backyard flood
Screw-top wine
Rhythm and rhyme
My moonshine in a plastic cup
Somewhere someone's smokin' some sweet pot luck
So the bill collector's gonna have to wait
I got a long, long line of friends
Flowin' through my back gate
Don't-cha wonder what the poor folks are doin' tonight?
We got heaven on a paper plate
The coals are glowin'
The spirits flowin'
The way it's goin' this thing might have to last all night
Angels vs. devils in the alleyway squirt-gun fight
Vegetarian or carnivore, whatever your denomination
Everybody's welcome, won't cha come and join the congregations
Yes, you!
My friends are jokin'
The kids are pokin' around in the mud
The sprinkler's broken
We got a little backyard flood
Rhythm and rhyme
My moonshine in a plastic cup
Somewhere someone's smokin' some sweet pot luck
I got a long, long line of friends
Flowin' through my back gate
We got heaven on a paper plate
The spirits flowin'
The way it's goin' this thing might have to last all night
Angels vs. devils in the alleyway squirt-gun fight
Everybody's welcome, won't cha come and join the congregations
Yes, you!

Being my first stint of unemployment in 20 years (since age 15), I've spent my summer enjoying smaller and better things, much of which has consisted of barbeque's in the yard, which typically go to, or near-to sunrise. And those bill collectors? Yep, they're calling, but they can wait a couple more weeks. Thanks for the timely theme song Roger!
