Can you tie them in a bow?<br />
Can you throw them over your shoulder<br />
Llike a Continental Soldier?<br />
Do your ears hang low?<br />
Do your ears hang high?<br />
Do they reach up to the sky?<br />
Do the droop when they’re wet?<br />
Do they stiffen when they’re dry?<br />
Can you semaphore your neighbor<br />
with a minimum of labor?<br />
Do your ears hang high?<br />
Do your ears hang wide?<br />
Do they flap from side to side?<br />
Do they wave in the breeze?<br />
From the slightest little sneeze?<br />
Can you soar above the nation<br />
With a feeling of elation?<br />
Do your ears hang wide?<br />
Do your ears fall off?<br />
When you give a great big cough?<br />
Do they lie there on the ground?<br />
Or bounce up at every sound?<br />
Can you stick them in your pocket<br />
Just like little davy crockett?<br />
Do your ears fall off?<br />
Drool Song<br />
Just plant a watermelon• seed upon my grave<br />
And let the juice (slurp-slurp) run through<br />
Just plant a watermelon seed upon my grave<br />
That’s all I ask of you.<br />
Chicken and possum are mighty fine<br />
But there ain’t no taste like a watermelon rind.<br />
Just plant a watermelon seed upon my grave<br />
and Let the juice (slurp-slurp) run through.<br />
Dummy Line<br />
CHORUS<br />
Dummy line, dummy line,<br />
Rain or shine I’ll pay my fine.<br />
Rain or shine I’ll pay my fine<br />
Ride, ride, ride<br />
On the Dummy Line<br />
1. Bought me a pair of combination underwear<br />
To keep out the cold and the chisly air<br />
Now I’m in a heck of a mess<br />
Lost the combination and I can’t undress.<br />
2. Little Willie just for fun,<br />
Shot his sister with a B-B gun<br />
Father said, “I’m ashamed of you<br />
You should of shot her with a .22"<br />

3. Once was a scout named Jack<br />
Pitched his tent on a railroad track<br />
4:44 came round the bend<br />
What kind of flowers you gonna send.<br />
4. Little Willie with a shout<br />
Gouged his sister’s eyeballs out<br />
Stomped on them to hear them pop<br />
His mother said, ‘Now Willie stop.”<br />
5. Once was a guy whose name was Bill<br />
Lived on top of a garbage hill<br />
Never took a bath and he never will<br />
Come on guys let’s spit on Bill<br />
6. Little Willie one dark night<br />
Played around with dynamite,<br />
But curiosity never pays,<br />
Rained poor Willie for 17 days.<br />
7. Little Willie went out west<br />
Where he thought the food was best<br />
Now he lies in eternal rest<br />
With a concrete meatball in his chest.<br />
8. Little boy coming home from school<br />
Spied a dollar by the foot of a mule,<br />
Bent down to get it as sly as a mouse,<br />
Funeral next day at the little boy’s house.<br />
Garbage Barge<br />
Tune: The Titanic<br />
CHORUS<br />
Oh! It was sad, Oh! It was Sad’<br />
It was sad when the garbage barge<br />
went down To the bottom of the…<br />
Part I -Mud, mud, mud, mud.<br />
Part II - Onions and shells,<br />
little garlics lost their smell.<br />
It was sad when the garbage barge went down.<br />
1. Oh: they built the garbage barge<br />
To sail the river brown<br />
And they built it so<br />
The garbage wouldn’t go down,<br />
But the mayor he raised his hand<br />
Said that ship would never land<br />
It was sad when the garbage barge went down.<br />
2. Oh! They almost reached the dump<br />
Bout one hundred yards left<br />
When the apples refused to<br />
Associate with the rest.<br />
So they put them down below<br />
