It sure gets quiet
When we look at the trees
We sit here in the silence
Flipping through what's on TV
I hem and haw, you haw and hem
Then we both cough and pretend
We're so sick
That we need some more Aleve

(Chorus):
Somebody should rake leaves
But which one should it be
You've got the crud
And crud's got me
Somebody should rake leaves
But we hate to give in
We keep hopin' somehow
We might fool each other again

You say goodbye
And head off to the mall
I flip through all the channels
Grab a beer, watch football
If it was only college games
I might not try to act so lame
But what about
Those pro games afterall

(Chorus):
Somebody should rake leaves
But which one should it be
You've got the crud
And crud's got me
Somebody should rake leaves
But we hate to give in
We keep hopin' somehow
We might fool each other again

Somebody should leave
But we hate to give in
(Spoken): So let's keep hopin'
We might fool each other again
