EVOLUTION MAMA

Old Lucian Burns had a gal,
Way down in Tennessee,
She told Lucian all about evolution,
She was sitting down on his knee.
Then one fine day, she got gay, [sic!]
And started stepping out,
But old Brother Lucian started a revolution,
The neighbors all could hear him shout.
What did he say?

He said...
Evolution Mama, Evolution Mama,
Don't you make a monkey out of me.
He said, Evolution Mama, don't you think you got me up a tree?
Now I remember the time I had you nice and tame,
You was eating right out of my hand,
Some fine day, I'm gonna take good aim,
And knock that peanut whistle off of your stand.

Now Evolution Mama, listen while I get you told,
I'm gonna tell you something's gonna make your blood run cold.
Now I ain't half man and I aint half beast,
But I can do you more good than this store bought piece
Evolution Mama, don't you make a monkey out of me.

Evolution Mama, sweet smelling Mama,
Don't you make a monkey out of me.
Now, Evolution Mama, don't you think you got me up a tree?
I remember the time you had me nice and tame,
I was eating right out of your hand.
Some fine day, I'm gonna take good aim,
And knock that peanut whistle off of your stand.

Now Evolution Mama, listen while I get you told,
I'm gonna tell you something's gonna make your blood run cold,
Gonna make you feel mighty old.
Well, I got myself a razor, and I got myself a gun,
Gonna carve on you if you stand still, gonna shoot you if you run,
Well, Evolution Mama, don't you make a monkey out of me.
