Clean Up Your Own Back Yard

In the style of

Elvis Presley

Lyrics

back porch preacher
preaching at me

acting like he wrote
the golden rules

shaking his fist and
speeching at me

shouting from his soap
box like a fool

come sunday morning
he's lying in bed

with his eye all red
with the wine in his head

wishing he was dead
when he oughta be

heading for sunday school

clean up your own backyard
oh don't you hand me

amen
hallelujah

none of your lines

clean up your own backyard
you tend to your business

i'll tend to mine

clean it up mister
clean it up mister

drugstore cowboy criticizing
acting like he's better
than you and me

standing on the sidewalk
supervising

telling everybody
how they ought to be

come closing time
'most every night

he locks up tight and
out go the lights

and he ducks out of sight
and he cheats on his wife

with his employee

clean up your own backyard
oh don't you hand me

amen
hallelujah

none of your lines

clean up your own backyard
you tend to your business

i'll tend to mine

clean it up mister
clean it up mister

armchair quarterback's
always moanin'

second guessing
people all day long

pushing, fooling
and hanging on in

always messing
where they don't belong

when you get right down
to the nitty-gritty

isn't it a pity that
in this big city

not a one a
little bitty man'll admit

he could have been
a little bit wrong

clean up your own backyard
oh don't you hand me

amen
hallelujah

don't you hand me
none of your lines

clean up your own backyard
you tend to your business

i'll tend to mine

clean it up mister
clean it up mister

clean up your own backyard
you tend to your business

i'll tend to mine
