[sound effects from tools]
ever (ever) happens in this town
Feelin' low down (down), not a lot to do around here
I thought that I would go right outta my mind
Until a friend told me the news
He said, "(Hey), you know that vacant lot
Right beside the gas station? Well, somebody bought it
And on the spot they're gonna build a shop
Where we can go buy bolts and screws"
Since then I've been walking on air (air)
I can barely brush my teeth or comb my hair
'Cause I'm so excited and I really don't care
I've been waiting since last June
For this day to finally arrive
I'm so happy (happy) now just to be alive
'Cause any minute now I'm gonna be inside
Well, I hope they open soon
I can't wait no, (no I) I can't wait (oh when)
When they gonna open up that door?
I'm goin' (yes I'm) goin', I'm a-goin' to the
Goin' to the (hard) ware I'm goin', really goin' to the
Goin' (hard) I'm goin' to the (hard) oh yes, I'm goin' to the
Hardware store
In my sleeping bag I camped out overnight
Right in front of the store, then as soon as it was light out
I pressed my nose right up against the glass
You know, I had to be first in line
Gonna get me a flashlight and a broom
Want a pair of pliers for every single room in my house
See those hacksaws? Very, very soon
One of them will be all mine
Guys with name tags walking down the aisles
Rows of garden hoses that go on for miles and miles
Brand new socket wrenches in a plethora of styles
All arranged alphabetically
And they're doing a promotional stunt
There's a great big purple sign out front
That says every 27th customer
Will get a ball pein hammer free
I can't wait no, (no I) I can't wait (oh when)
When are they gonna open up that door?
I'm goin' (yes I'm) goin', I'm a-goin' to the
Goin' to the (hard) ware I'm goin', really goin' to the
Goin' (hard) I'm goin' to the (hard) oh yes, I'm goin' to the
Hardware store
I'm goin' (yes I'm) goin', I'm a-goin' to the
Goin' to the (hard) ware I'm goin', really goin' to the
Goin' (hard) I'm goin' to the (hard) oh yes, I'm goin' to the
Hardware store

Review about Hardware Store breaks | Reviewer: Chris | 8/26/09
It sounds at some parts, while listening to the version without music, that there may actual breaks in the speech that were edited out.
I can get my breath to last throughout the whole bridge, but I trip frequently.
Its crazy... | Reviewer: Katherine | 11/24/08
HOW THE HECK DID HE LEARN TO SING THAT???
Anyway, Im currently trying to learn the bridge. Ive been playing flute, sax, piccolo AND oboe and still don't have the lungs to sing it. plus, it would help if I could sing faster.
Its impossible.
too cool for skewl | Reviewer: Bonusdonut | 9/16/08
i think the main obstacle for those attempting to sing this mother of a song is having enough air in your lungs to get through the bridge. sure, the speed is an issue, but so far breath has been my only problem.
im off to do breathing exercises and swim. prepare yourself, lungs!
awesome! | Reviewer: Andrew | 1/20/08
this is my all-time fav weirdal song... i can sing all but the bridge,and i can sing about half of it, but i get lost about Hooks and tackle, grout and spackle.... it flips my tongue all over the place.... 0.0
Weird al has done a great job with this song.ill bet it took him a while for him to get the bridge just right.i can sing along to it all except for the bridge, because i acant sing it fast enough to keep up with weird al.
Wahahah. | Reviewer: Roy-o | 12/15/07
After many hours of memorization and singing the song with the speed increased, I can finally manage to get through the bridge, albeit with some difficulty. Also, this song rocks.
Speed | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/16/07
This is clearly harder than white and nerdy, though, because its harder to memorize. No grammar and no special significance means all you can do is just memorize it straight up. I'm pretty close though! for some reason I always want to say "high performance spoons and ladels" and that screws me up, but if I get past there...
unbelievable | Reviewer: JEP0 | 12/4/07
i am trying to sing the impossible part..
it is impossible.
i am out of breath when he starts about wrecking shisels -_-
good luck to the people that are still trying to sing this song XD
OMG this is one of my favrite songs in the world! I can sing XD But like, last Saturday I went to see Weird Al in concert and I WALKED RIGHT PAST HIM WHILE HE WAS IN A RED SUIT!!!!!!! It'd be crazy if he sang this one 9_6
The bridge without instruments. | Reviewer: iMAniaC | 8/12/07
I found this on the net. It features the bridge part without any instruments, so you can really hear how he does it and how many simultaneous voices there are.
I haven't got a clue how the guy (or gal) who originally uploaded it got the audio clip without the instruments, but it sounds like the real stuff. Judge for yourselves.
