Turnpike

We ain’t buildin’ no houses
We ain’t fixin’ no cars
We ain’t doin’ no laundry
We ain’t packin’ no food into jars
We ain’t stackin’ no dishes
We ain’t balin’ no hay
We ain’t scalin’ no fishes
Our work is all done for today

We’re gonna get Turnpike stoned
Get Turnpike stoned
Get Turnpike stoned
He likes it

He’s kinda beat up and funky
He’s kinda surly and old
He only does what he wants to
He never does what he’s told
He had a thing for the ladies
But that was surgically solved
Now he’s fat and he’s lazy
Don’t like to get involved

So let’s…
Get Turnpike stoned
Get Turnpike stoned
He likes it
He likes it

He was only a kitten, we were only some kids out takin’ a drive
We saw him cattin’ around by the tollbooths at Exit 135
He jumped right in the car and started purring as soon as we opened the door
He came home and moved in with us and we called him “Turnpike”, of course

We said let’s…
Get Turnpike stoned
Get Turnpike stoned
So we got Turnpike stoned
And he liked it
He told me he liked it

He ain’t designin’ no bridges
He ain’t flyin’ no planes
He ain’t writin’ no speeches
He ain’t dissectin’ no brains
He ain’t deliverin’ no babies
He ain’t drillin’ no teeth
He ain’t filin’ no suits
He ain’t wearin’ no briefs

So let’s…
Get Turnpike stoned
Get Turnpike stoned
He likes it
He likes it
I know that he likes it
Cause he told me he likes it
