#1.
EBack porch preacher Bpreaching at Eme, acting like
he Bwrote the golden Erules.
AShaking his fist and Escreeching at Ame, Eshouting from
his soap box like a fool.
Come BSunday morning he's lying in bed with his Aeyes
all red, with the wine in his head..wishing he was
dead when he oughta be heading for ESunday school.
CHORUS:
EClean up your own Abackyard..oh, don't you hand me none
of your Elines.
Clean up your Bown backyard..Ayou tend to your business,
I'll tend to Emine.A B E
#2.
EDrugstore cowboy criticizing, acting like he's Bbetter
than you and Eme.
AStanding on the sidewalk supervising, Etelling everybody
how they Dought to Ebe.
Come Bclosing time most every night, he Alocks up tight and
out go the lights and he ducks out of sight and he cheats
on his wife with his Eemployee.
CHORUS:
EClean up your own Abackyard..oh, don't you Dhand me none
of your Elines.
Clean up your Bown backyard..Ayou tend to your business,
I'll tend to Emine.A B E
#3.
EArmchair quarterback's always moanin', second guessing
people all day long.
APushing, fooling and hanging on in, always messing Bwhere
they don't Ebelong.
AWhen you Bget right down to the nitty-gritty, Aisn't it a pity
that in this big city not a Done a'little bitty Aman'll admit
he could have been a little bit Ewrong.
CHORUS:
EClean up your own Abackyard..oh, don't you Dhand me none
of your Elines.
Clean up your Bmown backyard..Ayou tend to your business,
I'll tend to Emine.A B E
OUTRO:
EClean up your Bown backyard..Ayou tend to your business, I'll
tend to Emine.
