BRUCE COCKBURN WITH A TWIST

Rewrite of "Mango," by Norm Le Blanc

Gee, can't a man go in the garden where the wife can't see?
Gee, can't a man go in the garden when he has to take a pee?
Gee, can't a man go in the garden (behind the sycamore tree?)
Gee, can't a man go in the garden - now she's yelling at me...

I don't want to wipe my boots
just to walk down the hallway;
I'd rather fertilize the hedge
but my better half shouts out "no way!"

Gee, can't a man go in the garden where the wife can't see?
Gee, can't a man go in the garden when he has to take a pee?
Gee, can't a man go in the garden (behind the sycamore tree?)
Gee, can't a man go in the garden - now she's yelling at me...

I slip through the garden gate
as soon as she turns around;
I hope that's just a drop of sweat -
takin' too long to fumble 'round...

Gee, can't a man go in the garden where the wife can't see?
Gee, can't a man go in the garden when he has to take a pee?
Gee, can't a man go in the garden (behind the sycamore tree?)
Gee, can't a man go in the garden - she's still yelling at me...
