Thread Name: Lyr Add: parodies sung by Homer and Jethro
Subject: RE: Homer and Jethro
There was another H&J tune, subsequently covered and added to by a great group called the Red Clay Ramblers. The song was about the unrequited love of a love-sick pyramid building slave for the Pharoah's daughter. I think it's called "I Crept into the Crypt and Cried" - some words include "He crept into the creepy crypt and cried. Yes he slipped into the sepulchre and sighed" and so on. I think I heard the H&J version many years ago, but only the Ramblers' version recently.

Anybody have the words to H&J's original?
