Sold Out Of Flagpoles Lyrics

I walked down past the courthouse square, three blocks or maybe four
Run into my old friend there that runs a handy hardware store
I said "Mornin' Loney what's the good word"

He said "Abraham Lincoln, Lone Ranger,
Mickey Mouse, and I'm sold out of flagpoles"
I popped the top off a soda pop, I laid a quarter on the bar
I said "Inflation is a dirty dog, a payday sure ain't goin' far"
"Liberty" said Loney, "E Pluribus Unum,
In God we trust, and I'm sold out of flagpoles"
I said "Hey Loney, did you see Evel Knievel jumpin' on TV?
Jumped 13 buses with his machine reckon he could jump 14"
"No doubt" said Loney, "winners keep on winnin'
Even losers win sometimes and I'm sold out of flagpoles" "Ain't this been a year" I said,
"For frost and blight and flood and drought
Twice as many tornados reckon it's all caused by fallout"
"No it's the season" said Loney, "they change,
Wind's gonna blow, always did and I'm sold out of flagpoles"
"Hey what d'you think about the sheriff's daughter
Runnin' off with the preacher's son
The sheriff's wife had to hold him
Back from goin' after them with his gun"
"Boys and girls" said Loney, "will get together
Everything's normal and I'm sold out of flagpoles"
And I'm sold out of flagpoles sold
Out of flagpoles sold out of flagpoles
