This is a simple song about a woman’s significant other who was presumably sexually abusive to her daughter so she killed him. Everyone thought he was a bad person so they are not going to tell the authorities what she did although they all knew about the killing.
The relevance of “pink flamingos” i...
They knew he was trouble right from the start
When Becky brought him home to the trailer park
Live-in boyfriend, pall mall breath
Checkin' out her daughter in her Sunday school dress
[Chorus]
Oh, if anybody ask we're pleading the fifth
Oh, nobody ever liked that son of a bitch
She said he left town, but everybody knows
He's buried in the front yard pushing up pink flamingos
Becky was at work when he crossed that line
Next neighbor heard her baby cryin'
Ain't no doubt about what he done
So she took a smoke break and bought her a gun
[Chorus]
Oh, if anybody ask we're pleading the fifth
Oh, nobody's gonna find that son of a bitch
She said he left town, but everybody knows
He's buried in the front yard pushing up pink flamingos
[Bridge]
No sir, no we ain't seen him around
No sir, ain't seen him around
Oh, if anybody ask we're pleading the fifth
Oh, nobody ever liked that son of a, son of a, son of a bitch
Oh, if anybody ask we're pleading the fifth
Oh, nobody's gonna find that son of a bitch
She said he left town, but everybody knows
He's buried in the front yard pushing up pink flamingos
Yeah he is
Pushing up pink flamingos
