CHORUS:
So sorry, but you can't put your quarry in our backyard
You can try real hard
But you can't put your quarry in our backyard
We're meetin' at the library
We're gonna fight this quarry
I hate to be contrary
But have you heard what they want to do to our backyard
What is it 'bout a man
Who sees a good piece of land
And says hey, I'm gonna blow it all to sand
Well he doesn't understand that's our backyard
CHORUS
That greedy old devil
He makes his wage in hot gravel
Let's shovel it on back to hell
Where it won't be smellin' up our backyard
That land it ain't mine
But that land ain't their mine
This land is our land
And we've gotta take a stand in our backyard
CHORUS x2
So sorry, but you can't put your quarry in our backyard
You can try real hard

We're meetin' at the library
We're gonna fight this quarry
I hate to be contrary
But have you heard what they want to do to our backyard
What is it 'bout a man
Who sees a good piece of land
And says hey, I'm gonna blow it all to sand
Well he doesn't understand that's our backyard
CHORUS
That greedy old devil
He makes his wage in hot gravel
Let's shovel it on back to hell
Where it won't be smellin' up our backyard
That land it ain't mine
But that land ain't their mine
This land is our land
And we've gotta take a stand in our backyard
