The Hambone Loan

in my bizarre trailer park,
we have a handyman,
very strange appearance,
to imagine, I doubt you can...

his name is hambone,
he's a really kind'a nice guy
but sometimes he'll seek money,
well, at least, he'll give it a try

"can you lend me....."
"I cut your grass, you owe me....."
it's hard to put in words
he's irreplaceable in some ways,
in others, he's for the birds...

he wears a head bandana,
and would be good in a david lynch movie,
if this world was like eraserhead,
he'd be considered kind of groovy
