My Neighbour Bought A Gun

My neighbor bought a gun, guess I’d better get one too 

He seems a little edgy, no telling what he plans to do 

Then I’ll feel safer, I’ll go on my merry way 

And I can sit in my home protected all night and day 

 

Maybe I should go out and pick one up for my car 

Then I’ll feel safer in case I have to go very far 

Who knows what could happen if I get stuck on some lonely street? 

At least I’ll have one up on anybody I might meet 

 

(ch) the little voice says… 

Pick it out, slap it down, load it up, lots of rounds 

Pack it up, go to town, line ‘em up, mow ‘em down!! 

 

Maybe while I’m there, I’ll pick one up for the wife 

She’ll probably never use it but one day it might save her life 

I’d better get one each for my daughter and my son 

Just so they’re safe when they’re playing in the summer sun 

 

I’ll get one for the kitchen, the bathroom, the bedroom, the den 

Then I’ll be ready for anything, it doesn’t matter when 

We’ll lock all our doors and windows, we won’t let anyone in 

And if there’s any trouble, we’ll be sure to win 

If there’s any trouble, we’ll be sure to win
