The Lyrics
It's summer time, and you know what that means... garage sales are out in full force, here's to hoping you don't find anything that's mentioned in this song.
Crap on the tables outside, Garage Sale!
Tonka Truck that only has its front 2 wheels, caked in mud
Crap in the cardboard boxes, Garage Sale!
Wedding dress, worn back in 1970, cost ya 20 bucks
Old football cards, a pogo stick too
It's missing Miss Scalet, but we're selling "Clue"
The tag is there, to show you the price
Just buy some Pogs, or those fuzzy dice
Crap on the tables outside, Garage Sale!
Power Wheels, it's rusty and it ain't been charged since '94
Crap scattered all through the yard, Garage Sale!
Billy Bass, that lacks a fin and only sings Kumbayah
There's crocheted blankets and knitted socks
16 letters of alphabet blocks
There's "8 Minute Abs" and good 'ol "Buns of Steel"
An old waffle iron, a rod with no reel.
Crap on the tables outside, Garage Sale!
Picture frames, and piggy banks, a rocking horse that is askew
Crap on the driveway it's true, Garage Sale!
Puzzle books and Precious Moments ornaments held tightly by glue
Dishes and Gak, a rusty old trumpet
This bureau will fall apart when you bump it
Your feet will never fit inside these boots
I doubt you'll want this green leisure suit
Crap! Crap! Garage Sale!
45's by Jim Croce, James Taylor, and Gordon Lightfoot
Crap! Crap! Garage Sale!
Hardy Boys and Boxcar Children, anything by R.L. Stine
Crap's piling out to the street, Garage Sale!
Slip 'n Slide and Super Soakers and other aquatic toys
Crap that we will never sell, Garage Sale!
Coffee pot that eats the filter, please get it off our hands
Crap, everything must go, Garage Sale!
Huffy Bike, missing 3 gears and lacking a kickstand
Crap, we'll try again next year, Garage Sale!
The price is falling straight down to the ground
Oh well, we tried, you get what you found!
It's crap!
Tonka Truck that only has its front 2 wheels, caked in mud
Crap in the cardboard boxes, Garage Sale!
Wedding dress, worn back in 1970, cost ya 20 bucks

Loved it 5's
now wait a minute....I dont mind you saying all the stuff I was planning on selling at my garage sale next week garbage, but did you really have to make fun of three of the greatest singer-songwriters ever? And no one in their right mind would be selling their 45s...(if you are, I want them) lol...great great great parody guys!
I agree that they were talented guys, Billy - their syllables fit with the song :), so they were used, perhaps unfairly so. Thanks for the comment.
LOL! I would be thrilled to find a copy of "Boxcar Children" at a yard sale!
Good job Mike, I enjoyed this! Although I wouldn't go selling the Super Soaker, unless you upgraded to the XP4000.
Great parody... sounds like stuff I would buy
Green leisure suit? Everyone knows the only color for those is white.
ABC Comp..Pacing problems, but pretty funny. 354.
(ABC) Great rhyme and imagery.
I loved this Crap.
99% of the stuff at garage sales is crap, but you never know when a little gem of a deal might turn up...maybe that's why I like them..lol good parody for ABC
Holy crap! (That's what you buy at the pope's garage sale.) Lotsa good lines here - my faves were the ones about Miss Scarlet and "16 letters of alphabet blocks."
How much is the garage itself?
Pacing was rough, but the humor more than makes up for it. Hard song to pace anyway.
Loved it! The TonkaTruck and Mud line really set the scene!
This song.... I love this song. Mike didn't tell me about this contest... I'm deffinitely involved now. lol. Yes.. there are pacing issues... alot, but I just loved doing this. This was the last true cooperative in-room parody by Mike Armstrong. We were laughing so hard for a few hours straight. Several things didn't make the cut. lol. I appreciate any and all comments on all our songs, but since this one holds such a special place... thanks to all of you.
I voted on this a long time ago but never commented; I like it even better this time. I'd quote some fave lines but Spaff already mentioned 'em.
Have some 4s.
(ABC) Mike - DKTOS, I'll see if I can find some audio to check this one out with.
How did I miss this one? And a bargain, too1
