Here's my transcription from YouTube:


VOT SKALL WE DO?
As sung by "Yogi Yorgesson" (Harry Stewart)

1. Saturday night I shampooed my wife's hair.
I rinsed it in vinegar; she didn't care.
It got in her ears; now she hears a lot less.
She's suff'ring from pickled hearing, I guess.

CHORUS: We got a trouble. What shall we do?
We got a trouble. What shall we do?
Hallelujah, brother! I'm asking you:
Holy Moses, what shall we do?

2. Into each life they say must fall some rain.
My uncle has water upon his poor brain.
It don't bother Uncle, no, I tell you that.
He stands in the sun and steams clams in his hat.

3. Daughter is biggest of all of my kids.
Her kneecaps stick out just like two fruit-jar lids.
Her legs are so big that when she's in a rush,
She puts on her(?) makeup with a ...(?) brush.

4. Wifey she got her face lifted because
She don't like her puss sagging under ...(?),
But with it so high, she can't see where she's at
Till I cut two holes in the crown of her hat.

5. I crossed a swan with a big healthy goose.
I raised a big dumb bird that I call a swoose.
Then I crossed some hoot-owls with nanny-goats too.
My barn's full of hoot-nannies. What shall I do?
