Subject: Lyr Add: BALLAD OF DAVY CREW-CUT (Homer & Jethro) From: Jim Dixon Date: 12 Dec 03 - 12:11 AM Lyrics transcribed from the sound file at http://www.geocities.com/u2page6/ THE BALLAD OF DAVY CREW-CUT (As sung by Homer & Jethro) Born in a taxicab in Tennessee, Slowest cab that you ever did see. Warmed up his bottle an' he took 'im a nip. He didn't even leave the driver a tip. Davy, Davy Crew-Cut, the cat with the coonskin cap. He was the cleanest baby that you ever saw. When he sucked his thumb, he used a straw. He liked the girls instead of toys. He liked 'em ever since he found they weren't boys. Davy, Davy Crew-Cut, the cat with the coonskin cap. Davy was so lazy that he wouldn't raise his thumb. He used a bicycle pump to blow up his bubblegum. Became a politician in Washington D. C. He took him a bribe when he was only three. Davy, Davy Crew-Cut, the cat with the coonskin cap. Well, he entered a contest in Tennessee. And Mr. America he thought he'd be. The judge looked 'im over an' said, "Who's this drip?" An' Davy nearly lost his citizenship. Davy, Davy Crew-Cut, the cat with the coonskin cap. Well, he went a-bar-huntin' all alone. Well, he grinned but the bar bit him clean to the bone. Davy got the lockjaw an' had to go to bed. He sneezed an' he blowed off the top of his head. Davy, Davy Crew-Cut. He can't live his legend down. He had the only crew-cut coonskin cap in town. [Recorded by Homer & Jethro on "Ooh, That's Corny," 1963; "The Humorous Side of Country Music with Homer & Jethro," 1963; and "Assault the Rock & Roll Era," 1989.] |
Subject: RE: Additional Ballad of Davy Crockett Lyrics From: Jerry Rasmussen Date: 11 Dec 03 - 11:58 AM My nephews wrote this song when they were about 8 and ten years old: Borned on a mountaintop in Tennessee Ripped my pants on a Christmas tree Patched them up with some bubble gum Along come a bear and he asked for some Davey, Davey Crocket, King of the wild frontier Slept on a table top in Joe's Cafe Greasiest joint in the U.S.A. Ordered a gridley and that ain't all Next thing I new I was in City Hall And I added a third verse because the song was too short Went to see the Mayor just to set him straight Found him swinging on the Pearly Gate Charged me a dollar and he let me go So I wandered on down to the Alamo I still like singing it every once in awhile Jerry |
