25 Nov 02 - 01:20 AM (#834287) Subject: Lyr Add: PHFFT YOU WERE GONE (Heather, Campbell) From: GUEST OOOPS! first attempt to post musta wound up in NEVER NEVER LAND... I Found these in an old songbook... FWIW DEPT: Gloom, Dispair and Agony On Me is a totally different song, and a different verse was sung on HEE HAW almost every week PHFFT YOU WERE GONE Written by: SUSAN HEATHER Where, oh, where, where would I be? Without my Jesus comforting me For I'll sing his praises as I travel on Today, tomorrow, till phfft! you are gone. Take money or God, you can't serve two masters For you will love one, the other you'll hate And that is the cause of this world's disasters Make up your mind now, before it's too late. We don't break God's laws, but we break against them Remember this friends, as life moves along Can't you hear the voice of youth out there asking? "Why do you do what you tell us is wrong?" CHORUS Each time that you give, don't get up and shout it For He always knows what good deeds you do You'll get your reward, there's no doubt about it He sees in secret and He will pay you. CHORUS ------------------- PHFFT YOU WERE GONE Original written by: SUSAN HEATHER A version was recorded by: Archie Campbell Where oh where are you tonight? Why did you leave me here all alone? I searched the world over and thought I'd find true love You met another and phfft you were gone. I miss you so much, the 'taters need diggin' The corn in the field, it needs pickin' now How well I recall the first time I saw you You looked so pretty a-pullin' the plow. CHORUS Your lips were as red as ripe boysenberries Your ears were as big as sails in the breeze Your two eyes bugged out like old pop-eyed mullets Your hair, like hay-wire, hung down to you knees. CHORUS I thought my love was all that you wanted I still can't believe my gold made you fall I thought you would leave the hogs in the pigpen I was mistaken, for you took them all. CHORUS I saw your buck teeth and that struck me funny I'm sorry to say, I wanted to laugh You told me the truth, you tooth cost you money You said it cost a buck and a half. CHORUS |

20 Oct 07 - 01:21 AM (#2175085) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Homer & Jethro From: GUEST,JackTinWNY I can't really find any reference on the Internet to prove that Homer & Jethro actually sang "Phfft! You Were Gone." It appears to me that Bob Newman sang this song on his "The Kentucky Colonel" album in 1959. He is listed as a comedian (http://www.hillbilly-music.com/groups/story/index.php?groupid=12013) so this is probably where the first parody was done. Of course, later versions of this song appeared by Archie Campbell on his "Have A Laugh On Me" album in 1966, and by Buck Owens on his "Too Old To Cut The Mustard" album in 1972. This latter album was released after Hee Haw aired. If you have an actual album name and date where Homer & Jethro sang this song, please post it here. Thanks! |

The tune reminds me of PAPA'S ON THE HOUSETOP, but not quite the same. SANTA CLAUS THE ORIGINAL HIPPIE Homer and Jethro 1. Well, who wore long hair and a fuzzy beard Before any hippie was ever here, From patent leather boots and psychedelic clothes And little granny glasses upon his nose? Santy Claus, the original hippie. 2. Motorcycle gangs with wide leather belts, Funny-lookin' caps, their prides would melt If they could take a look at Santy Claus's buckle. His belly's all pot. That's why he can chuckle— Santy Claus, the original hippie. BRIDGE: Who is the guy who could always fly Long before the Wright brothers learned to try? He's been takin' trips since 1583, And he can take a trip without LSD. 3. Who wears a collar and cuffs of fur? For all we know, there's beads under there, 'Cause he was the first to smell hippie clothes. That's why his finger's up against his nose— Santy Claus, the original hippie. REPEAT BRIDGE AND VERSE 3 Hip, hip, hip, hippie. Hip, hip, hip, hippie. (FADE) [Recorded by Homer & Jethro on "Cool Crazy Christmas" (Victor LSP 4001, 1968).] |

The first time I see the boll weevil, he was settin' on the square. The next time I see the boll weevil, got all his fam'ly there, Just a-lookin' for a home, just a-lookin' for a home. The farmer say to the weevil, "What makes your head so red?" The weevil say to the farmer, "It's a wonder I ain't dead, Just a-lookin' for a home, just a-lookin' for a home." The captain say to the missus, "What do you think of that? The boll weevil done made a nest in my best Sunday hat. Why not have a home? Why not have a home?" The boll weevil got half the cotton. The merchant got the rest. Didn't leave the farmer's wife but one ol' cotton dress. It's full o' holes. It's full o' holes. If anyone should ask you who was it made this song, Just say that Homer and Jethro have done been here and gone, Just a-lookin' for a home, just a-lookin' for a home. [Originally recorded by Homer & Jethro as a 78-rpm record, (a) DON'T LET YOUR SWEET LOVE DIE, b/w (b) BOLL WEEVIL, King 583, 1947. It is also on their album "The Best of Homer & Jethro: Hall of Fame 2001," Federal Records 501, 2002.] |

Here's my transcription from the recording found on this page. (or click to play) WHAT A LOUSY DAY WAS YESTERDAY 1. What a lousy day was yesterday! Only yesterday my skies were blue. Daddy broke my fav'rite Beatle record, And he made me get a get a haircut too. 2. Only yesterday I went to school. Teacher said I acted like a fool; Asked me who cut down the cherry tree. I said, "Teacher dear, it wasn't me." BRIDGE 1: All my luck is bad; my life is just one big mistake. I'd go out and hang myself but I know the rope would break. 3. What a lousy day was yesterday! Daddy gave my little dog away. They bought a brand new home and left me flat, And they won't even tell me where it's at. BRIDGE 2: Day late and a dollar short; my life has been like this. I'd go out and shoot myself but I know that I would miss. 4. Only yesterday I learned my lesson: Always keep on hopin' for the best. If you ever need a friend, just try and find one, 'Cause a friend in need ain't nothin' but a pest. What a lousy day was yesterday! What a lousy day was yesterday! What a lousy day was yesterday! (FADE) [Sung by Homer & Jethro on the album "Wanted for Murder" (RCA 3673, 1966).] |
10 Jun 10 - 05:44 PM (#2924976) Subject: Lyr Add: GONNA SEND 'EM HOME (Homer & Jethro) From: Jim Dixon My transcription of the recording found at WFMU's Beware of the Blog (or click to play). The song seems to be a parody of BOLL WEEVIL*, but they sing it at a faster tempo than BOLL WEEVIL is usually done, and they squeeze in more syllables per line than BOLL WEEVIL has. GONNA SEND 'EM HOME 1. Oh, the Beatles are four hairy guys and they came from Liverpool. They play geetars and harmonize like Johnson's old gray mule. Gonna send 'em home. Gonna send 'em home. 2. Now the first time I saw the four Beatles, they were singin' on the video tape. Ol' Jack Paar** said, "Here they are," and the whole wide world went ape. Gonna send 'em home. Gonna send 'em home. 3. The next time I seen the four Beatles, on the really-really-really big show,*** I didn't hear one single tune 'cause the kids were screamin' so. Gonna send 'em home. Gonna send 'em home. 4. The Beatles got the money. They really hit it big, But after income taxes, all they had was four black wigs. Gonna send 'em home. Gonna send 'em home. 5. They're millionaires, they tell us. They made it overnight, And if you think we're jealous, you're absolutely right. Gonna send 'em home. Gonna send 'em home. 6. Now acts may come and acts may go, but get this on your mind: When they come back to the USA, I'll shore be hard to find. Gonna disappear—while they are here. [* I wonder if a subtle pun inspired their choice of tune: Beatle = beetle = weevil? [** Jack Paar showed a film (not video tape) that he obtained from the BBC on his prime-time TV show "The Jack Paar Program," January 3, 1964. [*** The Beatles appeared live on "The Ed Sullivan Show" on Feb. 9, 1964. "Really big show" was a catch-phrase often attributed to Sullivan.] |
10 Jun 10 - 07:53 PM (#2925082) Subject: Lyr Add: WANTED FOR MURDER (Homer & Jethro) From: Jim Dixon My transcription from the recording found at WFMU's Beware of the Blog - click to play: WANTED FOR MURDER CHORUS: We're wanted for murder, wanted for murder, Wanted for murder by the song-writin' clan. We massacre their purty tunes, Amputate their moons and Junes,* Sing the songs like crazy loons, We're wanted for murder by the songwriters of our land. 1. It started with "Over the Rainbow." For that we should be hung. You'd never recognize it as the song that Judy sung. Then we murdered "Baby, It's Cold Outside" and shore caused quite a fuss. For that crime we had little Juney Carter a-helpin' us. CHORUS 2. Well the battle of ol' New Orleans may go down in history, But "The Battle of Kookamonga" was our best atrocity. And then we sunk the Bismarck in our own way. That's a fact. Now the writer of it bought a gun. Don't tell him where we're at. 3. That doggie in the winder, we hound-dogged him real good, And "Poor Ol' Koo-Liger," we set fire to his wood. Take warnin', you songwriters from New York to Nashville. We're scourin' all the latest hits for a brand-new song to kill. CHORUS [* Moon and June are the proverbially clichéd rhyming words too frequently used by lazy or uncreative songwriters.] [From Homer & Jethro's album "Wanted for Murder" (1966).] |

09 Sep 10 - 01:09 PM (#2983232) Subject: Lyr Add: CIELITO LINDO (from Homer & Jethro) From: Jim Dixon The original of this is in the DT: CIELITO LINDO by Quirino Mendoza y Cortez. This is an odd one in that it mostly isn't meant to be funny. Only the last verse contains a joke, and a feeble one at that. CIELITO LINDO As sung by Homer & Jethro. 1. In Mexico, 'neath the mountains' glow, To the plains below comes a maiden. What a prize, with her laughing eyes And her tender sighs, romance laden. CHORUS: Ay-ay-ay-ay, beautiful heaven. Your golden voice makes my heart rejoice And if I'm your choice, that means heaven. 2. An arrow flies through the angry skies While two roguish eyes are a-gleamin'. Cupid's dart now has pierced my heart, And when we're apart, I keep dreamin'. CHORUS 3. She left Mexico to go with a show With Homer an' Jethro an' Pedro. She didn't know that there'd be no show. She wound up singin' a solo. CHORUS TWICE. |
09 Sep 10 - 01:11 PM (#2983235) Subject: Lyr Add: DOCTOR QUINCY QUACK (Homer & Jethro) From: Jim Dixon I don't recognize the tune of this one, so I don't know if it's a parody. This song came out in 1967, so it could not have been inspired by the American TV series called "Quincy, M.E." that ran from 1976 to 1983. DOCTOR QUINCY QUACK As sung by Homer & Jethro 1. There's a doctor in our town. He's a cut-up. He's a clown, A master with a story or a joke. He does gags and imitations While doin' operations. He keeps his patients laughin' till they croak. 2. Doctor Quack will never fail you. He'll cure whatever ails you, Or otherwise, he'll give your money back; And, in case it's necessary, He'll call the mortuary, Our funny fam'ly doctor, Quincy Quack. 3. He devoted all his skill In developing a pill To pep up pooped-out people instantly. Well, it pepped 'em up all right. They got higher than a kite. They had to sober up on LSD. 4. Once when I was feelin' low, To this doctor I did go. He said, "I'll make you well if there's a chance. I will cure or I will kill you. Either way, I'll have to bill you; Therefore, you'll have to pay me in advance." REPEAT 2 |

09 Sep 10 - 02:30 PM (#2983310) Subject: Lyr Add: THAT TIRED RUN-DOWN FEELING (Homer&Jethro From: Jim Dixon Here's another song where I don't recognize the tune, and therefore suspect that it is not a parody. THAT TIRED RUN-DOWN FEELING As sung by Homer & Jethro. 1. Now the reason our courts are full of divorces and we're havin' more an' more each day, Well it ain't 'cause couples can't get along like you hear most people say. If the truth was known our nation wide what starts a marriage reelin' Too many people have up an' got that tired run-down feelin'. CHORUS: Tired in the mornin', tired at night. It's the truth, it's the truth, it's the truth, so help me. You know I'm a-tellin' you right. When you got no vigor an' you got no pep, A good spring tonic will help you to Get rid of that tired run-down feelin'. 2. Now old Napoleon couldn't 'a' done what he done back when he was a young man, When he went through Europe like a scalded dog and he conquered 'most all the land. He led his army on a big white horse, now hist'ry is revealin'. Old Nay-poleon never had that tired run-down feelin'. 3. Niagara Falls is a wonderful place to go on a honeymoon. That's where I went many years ago. I think it was in June. Someday I plan to go there again before I'm old and reelin'. I don't wanta make that trip with that tired run-down feelin'. [The oldest use I can find of the phrase "tired, run-down feeling" is in a 1920 report by the US Department of Chemistry (probably a predecessor of the Food and Drug Administration) where it quotes an advertisement for a patent nostrum called Parto-Glory, which had been seized and destroyed on the uncontested charge that it was mislabeled.] |
09 Sep 10 - 02:34 PM (#2983316) Subject: Lyr Add: UP YOURS (Homer & Jethro) From: Jim Dixon Again, I can't identify the tune, so it might not be a parody: UP YOURS As sung by Homer & Jethro. 1. All the poor folks were complainin' so the president declared We'll have war on poverty and this land's blessings will be shared. Now the unemployment office can be found in your phone book. If they can't find a job for you, they'll pay you while they look. CHORUS: I upped my income. Up yours. You too can shop in the best stores. No more a-knockin' at those back doors. I upped my income. Up yours. 2. I used to gather rags and I would sell 'em by the pound, But I haven't since the Great Society has come around. A professional selector of pre-owned materi-ile, But a rag-picker's not listed in the unemployment files. 3. I used to slave away at the profession that I had. Everybody looked down on me, but it wasn't all that bad. The welfare man said I was underprivileged and suppressed, And he showed me how to write my name on unemployment checks. |

VILLIKINS AND HIS DINAH. 1. I live in the swamplands, just me an' my hounds. Huntin' an' fishin', I live and I scrounge. I see my girlfriend on Saturday night. Here's what she says when I hold her so tight: CHORUS: You smell like turtles, catfish, an' frogs. You smell like muskrats an' wet huntin' dogs. You smell like swamp gas, crawdads, an' hogs. You smell like turtles, catfish, an' frogs. 2. The gal that I love is called Swamp-Fire Sue. Her eyes are patriotic; they're red, white, and blue. Eyes like an eagle, a proud lion's heart, She's strong as an ox but she ain't quite as smart. 3. I try to accept things in life with a smile. The swamp just grew on me an' lingered awhile. The swamp's full o' skeeters; they're jumbo in size, But they can't get near me because of the flies. |

Your cheatin' lungs will collapse on you. So will your heart, an' your gizzard, too. You'll walk the floor like Ernest Tubb Till you are wore down to a nub. CHORUS 1: When tears come down like fallin' rain, They'll splatter on your varicose veins. But sleep won't come; you'll toss an' roll Till your eyes look like two gopher holes. 2. Your feet an' heart are cold as ice. You never treat me very nice. Someday you'll melt; just wait an' see. Then you'll have water on the knee. CHORUS 2: You'll sneeze till you are tied in knots. You'll have to take distemper shots. Your head is like a tobacker sack, So round, so firm, so fully cracked. |

That's why they discovered chlorophyll. You belong to me. My poor heart would burn without you. Maybe you'll get heartburn too; that's true. Let's cross the ocean in our motor boats. Climb the mountains like two billy-goats. Just be careful where you sow your oats. You belong to me. She rolled her big blue eyeballs at me. I picked 'em up and rolled 'em back. I hate the day I saw the pyramids. That's the day my heart went on the skids. Now I've got a wife and thirteen kids. They belong to me (me an' Jethro). They belong to me (fifty-fifty).
