another 5 gallons of sap

J. walks warily through the woods
with a bucket ready to go
ain't no sound but the sound of his feet
sloshing through the snow

Are you ready, hey, are you ready for this
Are you hangin' on the edge of your seat
Out of the doorway the steam spews
The boiling's never complete....

Another 5 gallons of sap
Another 5 gallons of sap
And another one boiled and another one boiled
Another 5 gallons of sap
Hey, I'm gonna boil you too

Another 5 gallons of sap

How do you think I'm going to get along
with high humidity?
Wallpaper peelin', house full of mold,
so steamy I can't see?

Are you happy? Are you satisfied?
How long can you stand the heat?
Out of the doorway the steam spews
The boiling's never complete....

Another 5 gallons of sap
Another 5 gallons of sap
And another one boiled and another one boiled
Another 5 gallons of sap
Hey, I'm gonna boil you too
Another 5 gallons of sap

Hey, oh take it,
boil the sap,
boil the sap,
hey hey,

Another 5 gallons of sap
Another 5 gallons of sap
Another 5 gallons of sap
Another 5 gallons of sap, heyyyy

There are plenty of ways to tap maple trees
and get the sap on down
you can drill it
you can spill it
you can hang a bucket
or a tube to a jug on the ground,
But I'm ready, yes I'm ready for you,
haulin' buckets with my own two feet,
Out of the doorway the steam spews
The boiling's never complete....

Oh yeah
Another 5 gallons of sap
Another 5 gallons of sap
And another one boiled and another one boiled
Another 5 gallons of sap
Hey, I'm gonna boil you too
Another 5 gallons of sap
