Bumpkin Patch

Listen to the story of the bumpkin from the patch,
and the boy who lost his girl to him that day.
They were all in town for the county fair when the flirtin' he did catch.
He swore that bumpkin clown was gonna pay.

Well, the poor boy had a patch on his blue jean pocket the back.
So the boyfriend said he'll call him bumpkin patch.

The ferris wheel spun 'round and 'round, but Patch played midway games,
He could ring that High Striker bell for fun.
When the boyfriend brought his girl nearby, ol' Patch denied his claims,
and he gave that girl the teddybear he won.

Well, the boyfriend was enraged when he felt he was upstaged.
But he swung and missed, and Patch was never phased.

You know that girl was speechless. She didn't know what to say.
Her ex-boyfriend held his bloody nose and he quickly ran away.

That gal and Patch got married June. The whole town gathered round,
and they partied till the cows came home for good.
So they had 10 kids who all looked alike in their home outside of town.
The ex is now in jail for stealing wood.

They became the perfect match and knew their love would last.
Oh, they named their place forever Bumpkin Patch.
County fairs come into town and sometimes knock the fences down.
And that's the story of the bumpkin patch. Natch
