Moe @ the Buck
4:28 pm on Saturday, January 12, 2013
I plow, I plow, I plow de shnow
I ask for a check, and you tell me NO
Moe don't like when you play with his dough
He just may come back
And put back de shnow
He drives around town in his snowplow truck
You may recognize he's a bartender from the buck
You wave him down to give your driveway a tuck
As he drives right past and says "not a chance you cheap #@*?"
