Nothin ever (ever) happens in this town
Feelin low down (down), not a lot to do around here
I thought that I would go right out of my mind
Until a friend told me the news
He said, "Hey, you know that vacant lot
Right beside the gas station? Well, somebody bought it
And on that spot theyre gonna build a shop
Where we can go buy bolts and screws"
Since then Ive been walking on air (air)
I can barely brush my teeth or comb my hair
Cause Im so excited and I really dont care
Ive been waiting since last June
For this day to finally arrive
Im so happy (happy) now just to be alive
Cause any minute now Im gonna be inside
Well, I hope they open soon
I cant wait, (no I) I cant wait (oh when)
When are they gonna open the door?
Im goin (yes Im) goin, Im a-goin to the
Goin to the (hard) ware Im goin, really goin to the
Goin (hard) Im goin to the (hard) oh yes, Im goin to the
Hardware store
In my sleeping bag I camped out overnight
Right in front of the store, then as soon as it was light out
I pressed my nose right up against the glass
You know, I had to be first in line
Gonna get me a flashlight and a broom
Want a pair of pliers for every single room of my house
See those hacksaws? Very, very soon
One of them will be all mine
Guys with nametags walking down the aisles
Rows of garden hoses that go on for miles and miles
Brand new socket wrenches in a plethora of styles
All arranged alphabetically
And theyre doing a promotional stunt
Theres a great big purple sign out front
That says every 27th customer
Will get a ball peen hammer free
I cant wait, (no I) I cant wait (oh when)
When are they gonna open the door?
Im goin (yes Im) goin, Im a-goin to the
Goin to the (hard) ware Im goin, really goin to the
Goin (hard) Im goin to the (hard) oh yes, Im goin to the
