Give You a Shove

Grandpa’d say, boy you better keep your butt in school
keep your hands to yourself, quit acting such a fool
You blow the trumpet, I’ll blow that saxophone
I’ll teach you 40’s swing you can practice when you get home
He’d say, always go first class when you can You do what you can to help your fellow man The most important thing in life is to love hold on tight boy, I’m gonna give you a shove
Bohonkus tighten up, I’m gonna show you a thing or two
Well over in the shop I’ve got a big ‘ole pile of tools
Each one’s got a place, and we’ll put ‘em back when we’re done learn to work with your hands, I’ll teach you to shoot this gun
Well head on down the field, help your grandma snap them beans she want to cook ‘em up for supper with a pot of greens
You better thank Jesus that you always eat so good
cause there’s whole lot of kids who sure wish that they could
Here’s an old nylon string that your uncle never learned to play I know you’ve got an ear, so just work on it every day
You know the ladies love it when you pick and grin and sing Give it a couple of years you’ll see exactly what I mean
