Frank Crumit: You're in Kentucky, Sure as You're Born Thanks for finding "You Don't Like It - Not Much"; what a treat! My first exposure to the Happiness Boys was "Like A Porcupine"--one of those "slated to be learned, but not there yet" songs. Thanks for taking the time to transcribe all of these, and for providing links! Keep 'em coming. Here are some links to Happiness Boys clips on YouTube. I'm too lazy to make blickies for them all.
