Telephone Pole in My Backyard Blues

There's a telephone pole in my backyard
I ain't got nowhere to hide
There's a telephone pole in my backyard
Makes me want to stay inside
When I found out I had no alley
I just went downstairs and cried

I went to City Hall
But they wouldn't take it down
Something about connectivity
For the whole of the town
Bat as long as it's still back there,
I'll wear the thorny telephone crown

I decided to take some action
Got out my lumberjack saw
The police they came and arrested me
Sayin' it's against the law

I finally gave up the damages
My concession overdue
I finally gave up the damages
My Capulet to its Montague
I got the telephone pole
In my backyard blues
