THE FENCE SONG
You've got a backyard and I've got a field,
We both have a beautiful view,
But to keep people out and keep nature in,
Building a fence is a good thing to do.
Chain link or picket, white, yellow or blue,
Painting a fence is a cool thing to do,
To lean on or sit on, look over or through,
Having a fence is a fun thing to do.
You've got a backyard and I've got a field,
We both have a beautiful view,
But to keep people out and keep nature in,
Building a fence is a good thing to do.
Some say they're offensive, some say they are cruel,
And some say a fence is the right thing to do,
A fence on the left and on the right too,
A very long fence is a smart thing to do.
You've got a backyard and I've got a field,
We both have a beautiful view,
But to keep people out and keep nature in,
Building a fence is a good thing to do.
