OH MY PAPPY
(As sung by Homer & Jethro)

Oh, my pappy, he left the farm and moved to town.
He got so old he couldn't horse around.
Oh, my pappy has got more nerve than anyone.
Now he can't budge since he ate mother's fudge.

The doctor walked in with a needle and a grin.
He gave him penicillin where he wasn't illin'.
They took him into surgery just to see what made him ail.
When they operated, they opened mother's male.

When we took pappy home, you should have seen him spread the gloom.
He thought that he was dyin', so he went in the livin' room.
Oh, my pappy! Sometimes he's good; sometimes he's bad,
But he can't replace my love for Old Granddad.

(SOUND EFFECT of pulling a stopper from a bottle, pouring, drinking, gasping, and then:) Whoo-ooh!

[Recorded by Homer & Jethro on "Homer & Jethro Strike Back," 1962.]
