Cricket in the Kitchen

There's a tree I never planted
Growing in my yard
Threw down it's roots
Now it's reaching for the stars
There's a tree I never planted
Growing in my yard
I hit it with an ax and it went down hard

There's a cricket in the kitchen
Tryin' to steal my song
I was singin' for my supper
He was carrying on
There's a cricket in the kitchen
Tryin' to steal my song
I opened up the back door
And I shooed him along

Somewhere along the line
I lost control
Lost track of time
And now did I just lose my mind
Or did the wildlife get a little wild?

There's yellow dog howling
At a harvest moon
Keep it up all night
We'll be sleepin' till noon
There's yellow dog howling
At a harvest moon
I threw him a bone and he changed his tune

Repeat Chorus

There's a cricket, a cricket, in the kitchen
