Mr. McLennen - Jann Arden

Mr. McLennen woke up one mornin'

Picked up his paper and died

There on the floor of the General Store

Where he started each day of his life

Barbara McDougal wrote in to The Bugle

Describing the tragic events

He laid down a dollar and loosened his collar

What a beautiful day it is

So long (so long)

Farewell (farewell)

We all got a story to tell

So long (so long)

Farewell (farewell)

We all got a story

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah

(Oh, oh, oh oh oh)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah

Lenny Roy Parker drove off in the dark

With a beer and the joint he just rolled

Skid marks like a snake that led right to the lake

He thought, 'Man, what a weird way to go'

So long (so long)

Farewell (farewell)

We all got a story to tell

So long (so long)

Farewell (farewell)

We all got a story

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah

(Oh, oh, oh oh oh)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah

Donna, the lesbian sewage truck driver

Slept in her driveway again

The rocks through the windows

Threats, innuendos

Tonight would all come to an end

'Cause you don’t mess with Donna

She’s good and she’s honest

But you’ll do what you gotta do

Nobody was found

Not a word, not a sound

'Cause the Donna don’t leave any clues

(Donna don’t leave any clues)

So long (so long)

Farewell (farewell)

We all got a story to tell

So long (so long)

Farewell (farewell)

We all got a story to tell

So long (so long)

Good night

Don’t forget to turn out the light

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah

(Oh, oh, oh oh oh)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah

Don’t forget to turn out the light

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah

Don’t forget to turn out the light

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
