Lawn Dart by Ed's Redeeming Qualties
Lyrics: Lawn Dart
It was the third of July and the weather was fine
Ed brought the hot dogs, the croquet set was mine
But the red ball was missing, three mallets were bent
Ed suggested lawn darts, so to K-Mart we went
We looked by the yard games, we looked by the grills
But we couldn't find lawn darts over water or hill
So we talked to the sales-clerk but she started to cry
She said they're off the shelves now, and she told us both why
A kid was pegged in the head with a lawn dart
Her dad didn't see her, that's the worst part
She was pegged in the head with a lawn dart
So they're now off the shelves at the K-Mart
We both felt so bad that we gave up the search
Ed went to bed and I went to church
Now we never grill hot dogs and we don't play yard games
Since we heard that sad story, things just aren't the same
She was pegged in the head with a lawn dart
Her dad didn't see her, that's the worst part
She was pegged in the head with a lawn dart
So they're now off the shelves at the K-Mart
