GMrs. Williams anCd Mrs. Bean
DTalking in their front Gyard
Will that father-son Cauto shop
DEver get that car to Gstart
Down the street yoCu hear those dogs
DBarking at the backfiring Gtrucks
Nobody ever sCays anything
DJust wait for them to give Gup

GPreston Sell won't lCeave me alone
DHe wants to take the bikes into Gtown
Gets quiet when he heCars me say
