The Collectors Hall of Fame
My Dads Got Baseball, Football, Basketball, and Bicycle, any old card Wont have to look too hard ------
Im Sure its floatin round here somewhere
And the John F. Kennedy Memorial Librarys right over there -----
At the bottom of the stairs --- Move it take a month of Sundays
John said Joe we need a plan Sure could use another set of hands
A sense of emergency came over me and I said.
(Chorus)
The silver certificates are drying outside 2 dollar bills are on a table to the right
5s and up are all over the porch On the deck theres more to sort
Cardboard coins with the staples on the side dining room floor on the left to the right
Scrapbooks all about World War II swear to God nothing he wasnt into
Our Old man hed put em all to Shame --
At the Collectors Hall of Fame
Hes got Stamp Books, Coin Books, Scrap Books, and Comic Books, Every where
Man I Swear, - All this gotta go somewhere
All this Catastrophe, brought our Family, closer you see,
Times like these ---- gets Written into family Histories
Stacks of Records out in the Trash
George Jones, Patsy Cline, and Johnny Cash
Part of our Life that went by way to Fast
(Repeat chorus)
On Easter Sunday a Pump went down
Nothing open for miles around
Visit Dad, for a little while he said Son, where you been
as he smiled, Well
Thats the great flood of 2010 Hope I never have to go thru it again
14 days water pouring in I learned a lesson or 2 back then
Lock my Treasures up in my heart Now would be a good time to Start, Ill
Carry this Tradition in his Name Since that Day nothings been the Same
