Well I went to town last Friday night (Tear the woodpile down)
I raised cain with all my might (Tear the woodpile down)
Took along that gal of mine (Tear the woodpile down)
She was looking mighty fine (Tear the woodpile down)
CHORUS
Tear the woodpile down, Tear the woodpile down
All the way down to the ground I'll tear the woodpile down
LEAD
Got locked up in that county jail (Tear the woodpile down)
Had no one to throw my bail (Tear the woodpile down)
That old judge said ninety days (Tear the woodpile down)
Boy you better change your ways (Tear the woodpile down)
CHORUS
Tear the woodpile down, Tear the woodpile down
All the way down to the ground I'll tear the woodpile down
LEAD
Taxpayer dollar ain't worth a dime (Tear the woodpile down)
Government got us in a bind (Tear the woodpile down)
Think I'll run for president (Tear the woodpile down)
I won't have to pay no rent (Tear the woodpile down)
CHORUS
Tear the woodpile down, Tear the woodpile down
All the way down to the ground I'll tear the woodpile down
