start from scratch. He had to
ask the electronics. industry to

time
l say its Halloween
Well maybe? Its something
very strange
It's something in between.
l don't see how they do SO
much
And make so little noise
But when it comes to raising
cain
Just leave it to the boys.
The hay stacks, fences, chicken
coops
A horrible sight to see
They don't know who to
blame it on
So they put it all on me.
Well! I guess that I can take
it
Because | am a Dam Old Fool
And of the same old school,
They blame it all on me.
Why, just now we're building
fences
For the fencing is all down
The goats and sheep and
cattle
Are out and running wild in
town.
I've seen some cattle rustling
Way on the Western plains
But these pumpkin lantern
antics
Seem to me SO very strange.
