Thread Name: Lyr Req: Ballad of Davy Crockett parodies
Subject: RE: Additional Ballad of Davy Crockett Lyrics
My nephews wrote this song when they were about 8 and ten years old:
Borned on a mountaintop in Tennessee
Ripped my pants on a Christmas tree
Patched them up with some bubble gum
Along come a bear and he asked for some
Davey, Davey Crocket,
King of the wild frontier
Slept on a table top in Joe's Cafe
Greasiest joint in the U.S.A.
Ordered a gridley and that ain't all
Next thing I new I was in City Hall
And I added a third verse because the song was too short
Went to see the Mayor just to set him straight
Found him swinging on the Pearly Gate
Charged me a dollar and he let me go
So I wandered on down to the Alamo
I still like singing it every once in awhile
