Aunt Maudie's Fun Garden

Aunt Maudie's fun garden
Aunt Maudie's fun garden
Aunt Maudie's fun garden
It's the talk of the town, yeah
Aunt Maudie's fun garden
Aunt Maudie's fun garden
Aunt Maudie ain't never
Gonna live it down

Well, Aunt Maudie has a garden
There she toils and labors
Every night
She turns on her light
And sometimes a few of her neighbors
Smoke pours from her parlor
To the yards of the elite
Well, the girls and boys
Make a lots of noise
But nobody moves to another street, hey

Aunt Maudie's fun garden
Aunt Maudie's fun garden
Aunt Maudie's fun garden
It's the talk of the town, yeah
Aunt Maudie's fun garden
Aunt Maudie's fun garden
Aunt Maudie ain't never
Gonna live it down

Well, one night I heard a siren
Her garden was on fire
Children scurrying
People hurrying
In their sleeping attire
Folks started breathing deeply
But nobody showed concern
And the only sound
As they gathered round
Was "Burn, baby, burn"

Well, you oughta seen the fire chief
When he saw his volunteers
Roasting weenies
Standing singing
"Hey, the gang's all here"
And all them wealthy people
Wearing grins from ear to ear
Victims of the accidental
Atmosphere

Of Aunt Maudie's fun garden
Aunt Maudie's fun garden
Aunt Maudie's fun garden
It's the talk of the town, yeah
Aunt Maudie's fun garden
Aunt Maudie's fun garden
Aunt Maudie ain't never
Gonna live it down

Well, Aunt Maudie she got busted
But instead of doing time
The judge had her committed
And he covered up her crime
Her folks dug up the garden
They cleared the whole thing out
Aunt Maudie's gone
But still around home
The folks keep talking about

Hey hey Aunt Maudie's fun garden
Aunt Maudie's fun garden
Aunt Maudie's fun garden
Well, it's the talk of the town, yeah
Aunt Maudie's fun garden
Aunt Maudie's fun garden
Aunt Maudie ain't never
Gonna live it down
