GUEST,TChappell Lyr Add: parodies sung by Homer and Jethro (182* d) RE: Homer and Jethro 18 Dec 07


Home with a sick child today and found this wonderful site, have to contribute two of my favorites from H&J Go West.

"Down in the Alley" (to the tune of "Down in the Valley")

Down in the alley,
in back of a bar,
at Honest John's car lot,
I bought my first car.

She's got eight cylinders,
and that's no bunk.
four in the motor
and four in the trunk.

Twenty miles to the gallon
I get it with her.
Of course I mean waa-ter
in the ra-dee-ay-ter.

Ninety miles in a hour
she does it with ease.
Cause I'm using whisky
instead of antifreeze.

Went through a toll booth
faster than I planned
Now they've got my quarter
and also my hand.

When we pass a junkyard
her steering wheel bends.
She wants to go in there
and be with her friends.

Down in the alley,
in back of a bar,
at Honest John's car lot...
I bought my LAST car.

And their great parody of "Get Along Little Dogies".

As I was out walking one morning for pleasure,
I spied a cab driver a whizzing along.
His flag was up and his meter was a runnin,
as he run me down he was a singing this song.

Chorus
Whoop ee ti yi yo-oo, look out little people
it's your misfortune and none of my own.
My horn won't blow and my brakes ain't a workin,
you know the hospital will be your next home.

I started to jaywalk and that's when he hit me.
Straight up in the air like a rocket I went.
And when I came down they gave me a ticket
fer leavin' the scene of the accident.

Repeat Chorus

As I was out driving my Edsel one morning,
my Collier's magazine there on the seat.
My Nixon stickers were stuck on the bumper,
I was goin the wrong way on a one way street.

Whoop ee ti yi oo-oo, I hit a police car,
They took my Edsel and towed it away.
The judge looked down as he tore up my license
and said, " Well sonny...
(spoken) This just ain't been your day!"

Whoop ee ti yi oo oo.

Grew up listening to these old record of my Mom's and they will probably be some of the last things I ever forget. (much to my wife's dismay!)
