Here's my transcription from the recording at The Internet Archive:


ALL POOPED OUT
As sung by "Yogi Yorgesson" (Harry Stewart)

Once upon a time I gave the girls the eye.
Now I'd rather have another piece of pie.
When I danced with girls, I used to jump and shout.
Now I sit and watch because I'm all pooped out.

I loved all the girls but that was years ago.
Ev'ry night I used to dream of Clara Bow.
Now I dream of pigs' feet and of sauerkraut.
When you dream of food, it means you're all pooped out.

Underneath the moon,
I used to nearly swoon
When I would smell the odor of my girl's perfume.
Now a girl's cologne
Leaves me cold as stone,
But how I love the food smell in the dining room!

I could dance the polka like a jumping jack.
That's what loosened up my sacroiliac.
Now instead of dancing I just brag about
All the things I did before I got pooped out.

In my Model T,
In nineteen-twenty-three,
We drank a quart of home brew and we all got looped.
Now at age fifteen(?),
I drink Ovaltine.
I'd like to raise the dickens but I'm just too pooped.

Once I got entranced by girls that I adored.
Now I get that way about a smorgasbord.
Love has passed me by but there's no use to pout.
Let me have my mem'ries and be all pooped out.
