Aunt Maudie's Fun Garden

(album: Cookin' - 1970)

Aunt Maudie's fun garden Aunt Maudie's fun garden
Aunt maudie's fun garden it's the talk of the town
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...

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...

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...
