Lyrics

Al recalls the antics of his neighbour Larry (the titular village prankster) and describes the various gags that he pulled. At first it seems as though he took Larry's gags with good humour even though most were cruel or downright dangerous (ranging from spiking Brownies with Ex-Lax to poisoning Al's lawn with toxic waste) but the song moves on to describe how, after discovering his car had been cut in half, Al broke into Larry's house during the night, abducted him and left him for dead in the forest.

Backmasking

Playing the track backwards will reveal a hidden message at 3:10; "Wow, you must have an awful lot of free time on your hands."
