I Fell In Love With a Tree Stump

I fell in love with a tree stump Well, my wife's wooden leg Part of that tree helps her walk With another part, I made a keg I fill that thing full of rootbeer The keg I mean, not my wife The leg I made from an old cedar stump That I whittled out with my knife She smells like Christmas all year long Don't you just love that cedar smell? Sometimes I use it to play with the dog Makes a good back scratcher as well In termite season she throws a terrible fit They just won't leave her alone She says she loves the leg I made But she wishes I made it of stone I fell in love with a tree stump And then I started to think With the rest of that stump I'll build an outhouse The cedar will cover the stink
