Storm blew a tree down in my backyard My axe wouldn't cut it and my saw wouldn't start Good excuse for a trip to the hardware store To give that little hottie workin' a thrill de' jour I know that she digs me 'cause when I walked in Here she come a runnin' with a can I help you grin Like a puppy on a leash she followed me around I left her droolin' at the mouth when I walked out Chorus: But I guess you had to be there To believe what I saw Her blue eyes glued to my Liberty coveralls She didn't have a prayer But I guess you had to be there I'm pretty sure she meant to drop that can of W.D. So I could see her bend over in her tight blue jeans I was eye to eye with Taz and a Tweety tattoo Forced to play a little game of peek-a-boo Then she led me down the aisle by the pipe and glue Asked me if I had any plumbing to do Hands planted firm on the curve of her hip Looked to me like she was lookin' for a little lip to lip Chorus: But I guess you had to be there To believe what I saw Her blue eyes glued to my Liberty coveralls She didn't have a prayer But I guess you had to be there She even did that little finger thingy through her hair Practically undressed me with her Playboy stare I gave her back that look that she was lookin' for I think that she forgot that we was in that store Chorus: But I guess you had to be there To believe what I saw Her blue eyes glued to my Liberty coveralls She didn't have a prayer But I guess you had to be there Yeah I guess you had to be there To believe what I saw Her blue eyes glued to my Liberty coveralls She didn't have a prayer But I guess you had to be there
