The hood's up, the oil is leakin',
The bolt's broken off an' my knuckles are bleedin',
But the sun is shinin' an' the birds are singin',
An' so am I
Now my sweet, Daisy, pretty as a rose,
In the back yard hangin' out clothes
'Cause that ol' Maytag's broke,
An' so am I
But she love's the life we're livin',
Barefoot dancin' in the kitchen,
While I'm pickin', one string missin',
An' she don't seem to mind
Lord knows, she deserves better
