Red socks don't work
All sweaty and grumpy
He kept saying
Red socks don't work
Two hours I've been at it
It simply won't start
I tried everything
I cleaned every bit
I changed the plug
Emptied the tank
Remixed the oil and petrol
Filled the tank anew
Aerated the motor
It simply won't work!
I have to change my socks
Red socks don't work
I'm telling you
Went off stamping his boots
Came back,
Pushed the throttle ,
Kicked start the chainsaw
It came alive in a screaming purr
Put it back on the ground
Pulled the bottom of his pants
To show me the navy blue socks
Grinned at me and smugly told me
Red socks don't work!
