Subject: RE: Lyr/Chords Req: Don't Jump Off Roof, Dad (Keillor)
Daddy came home from work tired. The boss had been driving him mad The kids started howling, the dog bit him, too His dinner was nothin' but warmed over stew. I guess it was then he decided Up to the rooftop he'd go He was about to jump off when The kids started howlin' below.
Don't jump off of the roof, Dad You'll make a dent in the yard Mother just planted petunias The weedin' and seedin' was hard If you must end it all Dad Won't you please give us a break Just take a walk in the park, Dad And there you can jump in the lake.
That's all I can get from memory. I actually still have the old Homer and Jethro album. When I get a chance, I'll play the song and get the second verse.
