I had a mule, his name was Jack (2X) And when I climbed upon his back, He damn near died of a heart attack CHORUS Sing in the spring, sing in the fall Sing when you hear my baby bawl Sing all day, all night too If you hush your cryin', I'll sing for you I had a canary, all yeller and green (2X) The prettiest bird you've ever seen But it could swear like a big Marine I had a bear who sang the blues, I had a old bear and he wailed the blues, He hocked his pants, hocked his shoes, Hocked everything but his press reviews I had a horse, his name was Tex (2X) He signed his name with an "X" And made his livin' forgin' checks Once I had a tall giraffe (2X) He liked to sing, and he liked to laugh He lived on beer and bubble bath I had me a lamb I used to keep, Little bitty lamb I used to keep, When I'd tell him to go to sleep, He counted people instead of sheep. I had everything, short and tall (2X) Round or square, big or small I guess my baby's the best of all
