GAnother summer wasted in theAm Battlefords
on a baCnana seat bike with a hGockey card in the spokes
Ga friend of ours who's stopped his car by said that "he bAmetter get home"
he said "you're gonna get a beCating. You're going to get the Gbeating of your life"
EmNutrasweeth and DFresca and Cpopshoppe
and all the best of what a EMbaby sitter Amcould afford
with Emenough negotiotiaion and a Cfreckled smile
AGnother summer wasted in the BaAmttlefords
our dust coated Cfreezie stained lips
and lGawn darts in the yard
GAnd the rickedst guy in town drives his new
Lincoln drunk on the old Amdusty streets
balancing a sCnifter of gin on the eGdge of his knee
EmRocky road, Dtiger tail and Cbubble gum and all the rest of them
that a baby sitter Amcould afford with the right neEmgotiotiaion and a frCeckled smile
TheyG say that wealth is revealed in the Bmteeth
that's we're all wearing bracCes
and dirty finGgernails thatAm a good akela Cwouldn't approve of
GNot another broken arm in the hBmeat
he fell bringing pop and chips home one hanCded
we weren't inviGncible
Amand the sensei said "he'll Csit out the summer"
AGnother summer wasted in the BattleAmfords
Dad shakes his Chead at the car that's been
Gsitting on blocks for years
Gand the weird kid who smoked two cigarettes playing bingo
then his AmMom came to the rescue
she stood up and cChided everyone with her finger outstretched
saying "Gyou're not the boss of him"
EmRing pops, Dbanana runts, Cpopeye cigarettes
and everything that's best that a baby sitter Amcould afford
with the rEmight negotiation and a fCreckled smile
GThey say that wealth is revealed in the tBmeeth
that's we're all wearing braceCs
and dirty fGingernails thaAmt a good akela wCouldn't approve of
GNot another broken arm in the Bmheat
he fell bringing pop and chips home one hanCded
