Boots by the Hose
Style: Funk strut

[Verse 1]
Boots by the hose, caked in green
You track the yard in everywhere
Nobody minds the mess you leave
We're just glad that you were there

[Pre-chorus]
Hose it down, but the day still shows
Something good gets under your skin
Effie, the mud won't let it go
So let the whole street cave in

[Chorus]
Effie, Effie, steady and true
Every year we're proud of you
Effie, loud as a marching crew
Nobody else could ever do

[Verse 2]
Grass clings on like it's holding tight
Same as we do, when you're near
You cut through any grey old light
We count on you showing up here

[Bridge]
Every candle's a year you gave us
Every year you gave us more
Muddy boots still by the door
Something to love, something to save us

[Chorus]
Effie, Effie, steady and true
Every year we're proud of you
Effie, loud as a marching crew
Nobody else could ever do

[Outro]
Leave your boots right by the hose
We'll love the mess, however it grows
