There aren’t many men as lucky as me to have one as long as mine
The thing is as old as I am but still it’s doing fine
Many’s a time I was afraid It was going on the blink
But after careful scrutiny it proved to be in the pink
.
I always treat it carefully never leave it hanging about
And everytime I use it I remember to shake it out
And sometimes when I use it and I hold it in the air
I instructed me wife to handle it with tender love and care
Chorus
Oo-o-oh ain’t it a beauty I have used it proudly all me life
Oo-o-oh ain’t it a beauty and if you don’t believe me ask me wife
.
Danny O’Toole came over one day, he couldn’t believe what he heard
Mine was bigger than his was he didn’t believe a word
I bet him a pound I took him outside I laid it on the street
He couldn’t believe his eyes it was nearly a hundred feet
.
Last summer when I was out of work to idle away the hours
I used it in the neighbourhood to water the neighbours flowers
A met a young lass who needed it bad, she use it for a week
And though abused for days on end it never sprang a leak
.
I use it in the summer time I use it in the fall
It’s just around about the springtime I use it most of all
I use it in December on a cold and wintry day
I wrote me name in a snow bank a half a block away
.
I must admit it hasn’t been used in three or four months or more
But it’s hanging there and it’s ready as it ever was before
And if the good lord’s willing I’ll be using it for years
It’s the best length of garden hose ever sold by Sears
.
Oo-o-oh ain’t it a beautyall the fellas envy my technique
Oo-o-oh ain’t it a beautyThey hate me every time they take a peek
