Backdoor swinging open from the yard Sterno-boy is carrying a sword Chasing cats 'n' rabbits in the bushes and the garbage bins Chasing cats and rabbits in the yard
Down, don't make me down Don't let me be here down on my knees You're a waterfall of color You're a waterfall of color
Blacktop needs another coat of paint Turns to mud and gravel when it rains Washing off the coloring, tearing up the underthings Washing off another coat of paint
Down, don't make me down Don't leave me here down on my knees You're a waterfall of color You're a waterfall of color
Running off the fire-jelly boy Come back when you cannot hang around Take your little plastic sword Go and hit the running board Tell your mama fire-jelly boy
Down, don't make me down Don't leave me here down on my knees You're a waterfall of color You're a waterfall of color
Down, don't make me down Don't leave me here down on my knees You're a waterfall of color You're a waterfall of color
