FERTILIZER
Words and music by Aubrey Freeman and Leo Teel
As sung by Leo Teel and His Teel Billies, circa 1951

1. While walking down the street one day down in Alabammy,
I met a little feller who was lost from his mammy.
I stopped to talk to him a while but he was kind of shy.
I asked him what his name was and he began to cry:

CHORUS: My pappy's name is Ferdinand; my mammy's name is Lizer; (Lizer!)
And so between the two of them, they named me Fertilizer.

2. Well Fertilizer had so many other little brothers,
He said they used up all the names while naming all the others,
But he was really happy 'cause he drew so much attention,
The kids gave him a nickname that wouldn't do to mention.
