  LYRICS
 

NAMELY YOU

1st verse (for gals)

You deserve a gal who’s willin’
Namely me,
One who’d love to have your chillen’
Namely me.
Standin’ there in the doorway waitin’ at the close of day,
With you all the way,
To love honor and obey.
You deserve two arms to hold you – namely mine,
There to comfort and enfold you, rain or shine.
I deserve someone strong and handsome, bashful and shy and true.
And I know just the one who’ll do

2nd verse (for guys)

you deserve someone good lookin’ – namely me.
Someone who as yet ain’t tooken – namely me.
That is how I’ll remain unless you get me shall we say.
In the fam’ly way, come next Sadie Hawkins Day.
You crave arms to make you tingle, namely mine.
To a bachelor who’s single, that sounds fine.
Comes the day I no longer batchel nacherly I’ll be true.
And who could I be truest to? NAMELY YOU.

 

IT’S A TYPICAL DAY

IT’S A TYPICAL DAY IN Dog Patch USA
Where typical folks do things in a typical way.
First we rub the sleep from our eyes.
Git our grub ‘n shoo ‘way the flies.
We spend what’s negotiable, then we gets sociable,
Sittin’ a round swappin’ lies.
And then we drops by to collect unemployment pay.
Which leads us to say IT’S A TYPICAL DAY
In Dog Patch USA.

 

PUT 'EM BACK

PUT ‘EM BACK
The way they wuz,
Oh PUT ‘EM BACK
The way they wuz.
They wuz dumb, they wuz heathen,
But at least they wuz breathin’
So what ever else you duz
PUT ‘EM BACK
The way they wuz.
PUT ‘EM BACK
The way they wuz,
Oh PUT ‘EM BACK
The way they wuz.
They wuz plumb, unattractive,
But by gum, they wuz active.
So I beg you kindly cuz.
PUT ‘EM BACK
The way they wuz.

 

JUBILATION T. CORNPONE (ENCORE)

Hist’ry says that Gen’ral Grant was pretty good with a jug, <hic!>
Who drank drink for drink with him and wound up under the rug
Why it was JUBILATION T. CORNPONE
“Passed Out Until Morn” Pone
JUBILATION T. CORNPONE, his whiskers in his mug

Hearing that a Northen spy had come to town for the night.
Who gained entrance to her room and lost a glorious fight?
Why it was JUBILATION T. CORNPONE
“Old Weary and Worn” Pone
JUBILATION T. CORNPONE.
He fought all through the night.

There at Appomatox, Lee and Grant were present, of course,
As Lee swept a tear away who swept up back of his horse?
Why it was JUBILATION T. CORNPONE
“Foot-sore and Forlorn” Pone,
JUBILATION T. CORNPONE, the picture of remorse,
Why it was JUBILATION T. CORNPONEf
“Completely Out-worn” Pone,
JUBILATION T. CORNPONE,
He really saved the day!
