Thread Name: Lyr Req/ADD: Homer & Jethro Songs
Subject: Lyr Add: YOU SMELL LIKE TURTLES (Homer & Jethro)
YOU SMELL LIKE TURTLES As sung by Homer & Jethro. Tune: SWEET BETSY FROM PIKE a.k.a. VILLIKINS AND HIS DINAH.
1. I live in the swamplands, just me an' my hounds. Huntin' an' fishin', I live and I scrounge. I see my girlfriend on Saturday night. Here's what she says when I hold her so tight:
CHORUS: You smell like turtles, catfish, an' frogs. You smell like muskrats an' wet huntin' dogs. You smell like swamp gas, crawdads, an' hogs. You smell like turtles, catfish, an' frogs.
2. The gal that I love is called Swamp-Fire Sue. Her eyes are patriotic; they're red, white, and blue. Eyes like an eagle, a proud lion's heart, She's strong as an ox but she ain't quite as smart.
3. I try to accept things in life with a smile. The swamp just grew on me an' lingered awhile. The swamp's full o' skeeters; they're jumbo in size, But they can't get near me because of the flies.
