WATERLOO
As sung by Homer and Jethro

What are you-oo gonna do-oo?

Now once a feller by the name of Jimmy Payne
Took a shotgun and blowed out all his brains.
Got a job where he needs no brains, of course.
He's a flatfoot on the local pĆ³lice force.

Waterloo, Waterloo,
Where will you meet your Waterloo?
He walks his beat unafraid
As long as it's downgrade.
Ever'body has to meet his Waterloo.

The Lone Ranger and Tonto rode the trail,
Catching outlaws an' puttin' them in jail,
But the Ranger shot ol' Tonto 'cause it seems
He found out what kemo-sabe means.

Waterloo, Waterloo,
Where will you meet your Waterloo?
Oh, the ranger he did trust,
Then ol' Tonto bit the dust.
Ever'body has to meet his Waterloo.

Uncle Hobe the other day was found
In a barrel of moonshine where he drowned,
And they'll lay him in his last restin' place
Soon as they can wipe the smile off his face.

Waterloo, Waterloo,
Where will you meet your Waterloo?
Pore ol' Hobert had to goof (?)
And he wound up a hundred proof.
Ever'body has to meet his Waterloo.
Ever'body has to meet his Water-(He had to meet his H-2-O)-loo.
