Estate sale today from one o'clock 'til four
You go and get ready, I'll go start the car
Better to be early, then we'll be the first in line
And you know how I love this, it's amazing what you find
Going through dead people's houses
Wonderful things they have collected
Open the drawers, the trunks, the closets
Don't leave a corner uninspected
You head for the kitchen, I'll check out upstairs
Old postcards and pens and blue fiesta ware
Shaving mugs and winged eyeglasses, giant plastic pins
Linen suits and flowered dresses, so glad we got in
Going through dead people's houses
Wonderful things they have collected
Open the drawers, the trunks, the closets
Don't leave a corner uninspected
They just don't make 'em like this, it's an incredible price
We could hang it in the kitchen, he was just your size
It's a beautiful frame, the picture's alright
Salt and pepper airplanes, ooh, that deco light, eew!
Going through dead people's houses
Wonderful things they have collected
Open the drawers, the trunks, the closets
Don't leave a corner uninspected
Tonight we'll go home and sort through our array
We'll find the best spots to put things on display
You can't get this great stuff anymore, I don't know why
But I bet we make some young strangers happy when we die
Going through dead people's houses
Wonderful things they have collected
Open the drawers, the trunks and closets
Don't leave a corner uninspected
Going through dead people's houses
Wonderful things they have collected
Open the drawers, the trunks, the closets
Don't leave a corner uninspected
