Thread Name: Lyr Req: There Ain't No Flies on Auntie
Subject: Lyr Add: THEY AIN'T NO FLIES ON AUNTIE
Here's what I think I hear at the Honking Duck site:

THEY AIN'T NO FLIES ON AUNTIE
(As recorded by the Akins Birmingham Boys, 1929)

You think you're gonna hear a song about that deep blue sea,
But if that's running through your mind, mistaken you will be.
Now sailor songs are very nice, I'm sure you will agree,
But this is no sailor song, and you will shortly see:

They ain't no flies on Auntie, on Auntie, on Auntie.
They ain't no flies on Auntie, and I'll tell you the reason why:
She don't drink nor she don't smoke,
But she likes to hear a naughty joke.
They ain't no flies on Auntie, and that's the reason why.

They ain't no flies on Auntie, on Auntie, on Auntie.
They ain't no flies on Auntie, and I'll tell you the reason why:
She don't condemn the girls who pet.
She says no one died from it yet.
They ain't no flies on Auntie, and that's the reason why.

They ain't no flies on Auntie, on Auntie, on Auntie.
They ain't no flies on Auntie, and I'll tell you the reason why:
She drinks her liquor by the quart,
Liquor that she never bought,
They ain't no flies on Auntie, and that's the reason why.

They ain't no flies on Auntie, on Auntie, on Auntie.
They ain't no flies on Auntie, and I'll tell you the reason why:
She rolls her stockings to her knees.
When she sets down, oh, you can see
They ain't no flies on Auntie, and that's the reason why.

(Repeat last verse.)
