lyrics

I found a cinder block on my daily walk
Took it home with me where you can plainly see
It holds the gate ajar when I'm unloading my car
My new cinder block bo bop bo bee

Sometimes life will just work itself out
A puzzle piece you thought was lost gets found
In this world so full of doom and gloom
It's the little things that are gonna get me through

I spied it in the grass on the Oak Leaf path
It wasn't being used so I took my cue
My baby's stroller's got a compartment that
Holds a cinder block bo bop bo bee

Sometimes life will just work itself out
A puzzle piece you thought was lost gets found
In this world so full of doom and gloom
It's the little things that are gonna get me through

The block I used before is holding closed the door
To the garden shed ever since that latch got bent
It's been a month or so but I've been thrown a bone
I mean a cinder block bo bop bo bee

Sometimes life will just work itself out
A puzzle piece you thought was lost gets found
In this world so full of doom and gloom
It's the little things that are gonna get me through
