to bad you cant come up with a piece of the title or name of artist?

so many female singers thru the years

i finally found a song i had been looking for -
FOR OVER 50 YEARS .. just recently...

FERTILIZER by Leo Teel - tho it is not the version i remember,
i remember a more dignified recording and smoother rendition.

while walking down the street one day i met a little fellar
when i asked him what his name was, he began to bellar

my pappy's name is Ferdinand, my mammmy's name is Liza
and so between the two of them, they named me FERTILIZER.

FERTILIZER had so many other little brothers
he said they used up all the names while namin' all the others

ran across it here:

SEND ME A PENNY POSTCARD [that goes way back)
