When I was a boy my Dad gave me money to go downtown
and pay the electric bill
but instead I bought raffle tickets
for a chance to win a new truck.
I told my Dad when I got home
and he beat my butt
but the next morning in the driveway sat a brand new truck!
We all held each other and cried
and especially me
because it was the truck
from the electric company
there to turn off our electricity.
Dad beat my butt again!
