SECRET LOVE
(As sung by Homer & Jethro)

Once I had a secret love
That lived way down in Tennessee.
I loved the ground that she walked on.
I thought she owned that property.

Yes, she was my secret love.
Of that there cannot be a doubt.
I've been in love with her for years.
I hope my wife don't find it out.

Once I took her took a picture show.
Tried to kiss her while the lights were low.
She hit me in the mezzanine
Between the popcorn and the Coke machine.

Now she's really got me up a tree
'Cause some dirty pigeon told on me,
An' now my head is awful sore
'Cause my secret love's no secret anymore.
