Keep your dog off my porch |
Lyrics"Keep Your Dog Off My Porch"Written by Yves Stilmant © 2025 [Verse 1] It started one night at the county dance When Bobby Donnell stepped on Sue Ellen's pants She slapped him silly with a fried pork chop Now the Carter clan says the war won't stop [Verse 2] The Millers showed up with a case of beer And a sign that said "Your brisket sucks, dear" Uncle Wayne fired up his ol' John Deere Drove it through their fence yellin' "Hold my deer!" [Pre-Chorus] Now it's moonshine-fueled and propane-lit Ain't no treaty for this kind of spit [Chorus] Keep your dog off my porch And your trash off my lawn Don't let your cousin park his rusted van at dawn Tell your rooster to shut up Tell your kids to quit that drum You bring one more casserole and I'll go full possum We're neighbors by name but enemies by fate And I swear on my boots, you ain't gettin' my gate! [Verse 3] Now Becky Lou's dating Billy Ray Which means the Carter kid crossed lines today Granny's on the roof with her BB gun She's aiming at the grill -- just for fun [Bridge] There's smoke in the sky, and it ain't no fire It's just Aunt Dottie torchin' Miller's spare tire He called her a witch, she called him a clown Now we've got turf lines drawn across town [Final Chorus] So keep your dog off my porch And your meat off my grill Keep your Uncle Earl from drinkin' Nyquil Keep your preacher in check Keep your boots off my deck And tell your kin the squirrel stew made us all wrecked It's a backyard war, and we're proud to fight 'Til the HOA kicks us out tonight! |
