Subject: RE: Lyr Req: While the organ peeled potatoes...
Twas midnight on the ocean
Not a streetcar was in sight
The captain climbed the telephone pole
And it rained all day that night.
Twas a summer's day that winter
And the snow was raining fast
And the barefoot boy with his shoes on
Stood there....Sitting in the grass.
While the organ peeled potatoes
Lard was rendered by the choir
And when the sexton wrang the dihrag
Someone set the church on fire.
Holy Smoke," the preacher shouted
In his haste he lost his hair
His bald head resembled heaven
For there was no parting there.

My Dad's favorite........
