We had this on an iphone plugged into the truck stereo on the way to the job today and the boys loved it. It got played about 20 times! Funniest part is, the most peaceful hippy guy on the crew confessed that he once got drunk and went around to his ex girlfriends house and cut down a small tree in her front lawn with his handsaw! We couldn't stop laughing all day. Never would have guessed it from him, he's so harmless.

Lyrics as far as we could figure;

You said my love would never fill ya
That 'aint gonna help your azalea
You got me in a real connundrum
Time for a little talk with your rhododendrum

Yeah I gotta jack up your shrubs!
Yeah I gotta jack up your shrubs!
Yeah I gotta jack up your shrubs!
That's what I do

Looking down on me all high and mighty
Gonna be a sad day for your ??????
I'm tired of being your poor little chump
When I get done nothing left but a stump

Yeah I gotta jack up your shrubs!
Yeah I gotta jack up your shrubs!
Yeah I gotta jack up your shrubs!
That's what I do

Now I know I'm not as tough as one of your boys from the hood
But right around now I wouldn't wanna be a box wood
All your shrubs are gone and you still refuse to talk to me
Well my saws sharpened, im pissed off, now I'm eyeing up your trees!

Yeah I gotta jack up your shrubs!
Yeah I gotta jack up your shrubs!
Yeah I gotta jack up your shrubs!
That's what I do
 
Thanks for all of the replies.
Imagineero, nice job, you have most of the lyrics correct.
Here are the corrections:
"You said my love, will never Fail Ya, but that ain't gonna help your azalea"
"Looking down on me, all high and mighty, gonna be a sad day for your ARBOVITAE"

Your workers confession has me laughing my ass off as I type this, making the work that went into this worth it.
Between my wife's video editing and my writing/recording, it took around 100 man hours, so thanks for the FEEDBACK!!!
 
Guitar licks at the end had me just wantin' more.

Sorry fellas, no Hemp involved (unless if count the mid-late 80's when I started a life long pursuit of beating on that Telecaster, while tokin' and smokin')
Thanks for the replies. I have a couple other videos on my youtube channel, with a few more in the pipeline for the upcoming weeks.
