Government-Sanctioned Hayride Songtext
von Beaver Nelson

Running a government-sanctioned hayride
I check ID′s at admission
Don't want to be on the wrong side
Thank you sirs for your permission
Running a government-sanctioned hayride
Twenty years until my pension
You cannot imagine my pride
Thank you sirs for your permission


Running a government-sanctioned hayride
Safety regulations tended
All the kiddies seated inside
Thank you sirs for your permission
Running a government-sanctioned hayride
Easier these days than fishing
All the charm is gone but no mind
Thank you sirs for your permission

Running a government-sanctioned hayride
Thanks for reading my petition
My three boys ride there at my side
Thank you sirs for your permission
Running a government-sanctioned hayride
Long has been a dream of mine
Laid awake as a boy at night
Thinking of that tax-man line


Got my license for my hay bails
Got my sticker for emissions
Police escort ride along side
Thank you sirs for your permission
Running a government-sanctioned hayride
Twenty years until my pension
You cannot imagine my pride
Thank you sirs for your permission
