Clutch - Green Buckets lyrics

Won't you come over and stay for a while?

Take a seat, have a drink, we'd have a nice time.

Turn on the TV I believe it's prime time.

I'll make you chicken cacciatore in five.

There's a woman down at 314

who can't keep the stains on her kitchen floor clean.

And there's a man who's been knockin' on his door

for three years, or has it been four?

I don't wanna spend the winter in this house all alone.

Those neighbors of mine keep coming on over and playing with my mind.

I would like to love you,

I sure would treat you right.

We could take the trash out

every Thursday night.

Here in my neighborhood there is the strangest thing -

green buckets every Friday at every driveway.

They're filled with glasses, plastics, and newspapers, too.

They say they recycle and bring them back to you.

I would like to love you,

I sure would treat you right.

We could take the trash out

every Thursday night.

We could be a family,

consume many goods.

We could be the pillars

of the neighborhood.

Ah babe, I'm a real hard worker

with the proper tools, I'll make you anything you yearn for.

The barbarians are at the gate,

come in before it's too late.

I have food enough to last the two of us about a year.

A thousand cans of chowder and a thousand cans of beer.

I love my neighbors like I love my own brothers,

but every year they're getting odder and odder.

I would like to love you,

I sure would treat you right.

We could take the trash out

every Thursday night.

We could be a family,

consume many goods.

We could be the pillars

of the neighborhood.
