Thread Name: Lyr/Chords Req: Don't Jump Off Roof, Dad (Keillor)
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.
