    Story Behind the Song
    Tyler Goen on all. Special thanks to Jeff and Erin.

    If you're not familiar with Menards, you probably don't live in the midwest United States. However, I'm told the song is still funny despite this.

    Lyrics
    V1:

    I'm a (salesman/hardware pimp) of a hardware store
    we get lots of customers we can't ignore
    usually we'll help them and things go swell
    for the sicko ones, this story ravels...

    this girl came up to me with all the right questions
    she sought: advice, tips, and suggestions
    but she was shy and it was a pity
    'cause this valued customer was oh-so-pretty

    bein' an employee, i said "how can I help you?"
    she said she was fine and tried to cut through
    i stopped her and said "ma'am no, i insist!"
    so she got out her massive list

    she knew she wanted her flowers to blossom
    she wanted weed killer but it would cost some
    [she] said, "I've planted daisys but they haven't grown"
    so I asked her if her lawn was mowed


    Chorus:
    and so she kicked me in Menards
    why did she kick me in Menards?
    yeah she kicked me in Menards
    i'm drivin' this girl out of Menards


    V2:

    [she] had a broken lightbulb and she had a new one
    she was too short to replace it, so it couldn't get done
    she needed a sturdy ladder so she wouldn't rock it
    i said "we've got the wood if you've got the socket"


    Chorus:

    so she kicked me in Menards
    why did she kick me in Menards?
    she has the best aim here, by far
    i'm drivin' this girl out of Menards


    V3:

    she took out a picture of all her old chairs
    said "the paint is chipping fast, can I find new ones .. there?"
    i had to admit, her old ones were hip
    so I asked her instead if she wanted to strip (...and repaint them!)


    Chorus:

    she kicked me in Menards
    why did she kick me in Menards?
    she has the best aim here, by far
    i'm drivin' this girl out of Menards


    Bridge 1:

    why didn't she leave?
    why didn't she leave?
    why didn't she leave?
    i think.. she likes me!


    V4:

    we sold the lawnmower, the ladder and the stripper
    i carried them out for her, she was a good tipper
    near the trunk she said "there's one thing more"
    she asked for my number... the number to the store to get me fired!


    Bridge 2:

    why do these bad things always happen to me?
    I'm paid to help them I can't let them be
    (would you like the extended warranty?)
    i'm a good guy and I can be their friends
    but lately I just get a kick out of them


    Chorus:

    yeah, she kicked me [in / out of] Menards
    why did she kick me [in / out of] Menards?
    they won't let me in, i'm already barred
    this girl is drivin' me out of Menards.
