Acting like he wrote the golden rules
Shouting from his soap box like a fool
with the wine in his head
Heading for Sunday school
Clean up your own backyard
Clean up your own backyard
You tend to your business,
Drugstore cowboy criticizing
Standing on the sidewalk supervising
Telling everybody how they
Come closing time 'most every night
He locks up tight and out go the lights
And he ducks out of sight and he
Clean up your own backyard
Clean up your own backyard
You tend to your business,
Armchair quarterback's always
Second guessing people all day long
Pushing, fooling and hanging on in
Isn't Isn't it a pity that in this big city
Not a one a'little bitty man'll admit
He could have been a little bit wrong
Clean up your own backyard
Oh don't you hand me, don't you
hand me none of your lines
Clean up your own backyard
You tend to your business,
Clean up your own backyard
You tend to your business, I'll tend to mine
