Mr. Cabinetmaker

Lyrics written by Marcy Vonne’ and Bob Kraby

 

 

My joints were exposed, they were so course.

I was wasted and board, you kicked back like a saw horse.

You straightened me out when I was so warped.

You figured my life might be cut short.

 

Mr. Cabinetmaker

Wood you come and let me plane you down.

Mr. Cabinetmaker

Saw you a bit, but now you’re knot a round.

 

You got, it awl,

You watch the tree fall.

You cut me up,

You were so smooth,

           so why did you leave me so rough.

 

You screwed, I’m unglued,

What kind of tools did you use?

You finished, I’m stained

Now you never call,

            you nailed me to the wall.

 

I was left of the blade, you were my vise.

Was on the drop end, you measured me twice.

Laid me out on the bench, and sanded me smooth.

I was riding the fence, you were routing my groove.
