"Cardboard Boxes" lyrics - LOUDON WAINWRIGHT III

I'm gonna go to the supermarket
I'm gonna go to the liquor store
I'm gonna get me some cardboard boxes
You know what them boxes are for

I'm gonna rent me a U-Haul trailer
Hook it on the back of my old car
Call up some of my stronger buddies
That's what your strong buddies are for

We're gonna move
We're gonna move, yeah

Give it to the Salvation Army or the Goodwill
We've got so much junk it's a joke
Wrap a knickknack in some old newspaper
I know it was a present, but the damn thing broke

Your old shoes and my old T-shirts
My strong buddies crave ice cold beer
Don't throw that away it's a family heirloom
I've had that ashtray for 15 years

We're gonna move
We're gonna move, yeah

We're gonna empty out our old place
And move into a brand new better space

We got the books and the records and the tapes and the pictures
And the pots and the pans and all the breakable glass
The living room couch and the dining room table
The washer and the dryer; what a pain in the ass
We've got the TV and the home entertainment center
The box spring and the queen-size bed
Christmas decorations, the bureau and the playpen
Had a piano, I think I'd drop dead

We're gonna move
We're gonna move

At the end day, the old place is empty
And the new place houses all of our stuff
Unpack all the crap in the cardboard boxes
It wasn't that bad; no, it wasn't so rough
My strong buddies look a little bit grumpy
I don't why I broke my butt
Tomorrow we'll call up the telephone company
And get another set of house keys cut

We're gonna move
We're gonna move

I can tell by the look on your face
You're just loving our brand new better space, baby

Yeah, we're gonna move, we're gonna move
Yeah, we're gonna move, we're gonna move
Yeah, we're gonna move, yeah move
