This Ole House World
By Stuart Hamblen
This ole world once new my children
This ole world once new my wife
As a family we were happy
'Til they changed their way of life
Now we're duckin' firey rockets
Sappin' ass is changed to glue
Dogs is sailing through the heavens
And they're firin' on the moon.
Answer back chorus:(from three baritones voices)
Ain't a gonna need this world no longer
Ain't a gonna need this world no more
Stuart's Chorus: Gonna get in a mighty rocket
Hunker down and bolt the door
With my fingers to my eardrums
"Let 'er go!" I'm a gonna shout.
Ain't a gonna need this world no longer
So long pal, I'm checkin' out.
Oh! This ole world I will remember
When I'm farmin' up on Mars.
This ole world with all her rockets
Sure will be a pretty star.
My Grandpapy, up in heaven
He'll see me and jump for joy
When he's braggin' to the angels,
"Looky there! Now that's my boy!"
Ans. Back Chorus:
Stuart's Chorus
Oh! This ole world sure is shrinking.
Even cattle's getting' small.
Bought a bull that is tiny,
You can hardly here him bawl.
Gonna take that bull right with me,
And a dozen cow-ed girls.
Be the first to fire a herd
That was shot around the world.
Ans. Back Chorus:
Stuart's Chrous:
Last line of Stuart's chorus is answered back as:
So long he's checkin' out!
