THE BALLAD OF DAVY CREW-CUT
(As sung by Homer & Jethro)

Born in a taxicab in Tennessee,
Slowest cab that you ever did see.
Warmed up his bottle an' he took 'im a nip.
He didn't even leave the driver a tip.
Davy, Davy Crew-Cut, the cat with the coonskin cap.

He was the cleanest baby that you ever saw.
When he sucked his thumb, he used a straw.
He liked the girls instead of toys.
He liked 'em ever since he found they weren't boys.
Davy, Davy Crew-Cut, the cat with the coonskin cap.

Davy was so lazy that he wouldn't raise his thumb.
He used a bicycle pump to blow up his bubblegum.
Became a politician in Washington D. C.
He took him a bribe when he was only three.
Davy, Davy Crew-Cut, the cat with the coonskin cap.

Well, he entered a contest in Tennessee.
And Mr. America he thought he'd be.
The judge looked 'im over an' said, "Who's this drip?"
An' Davy nearly lost his citizenship.
Davy, Davy Crew-Cut, the cat with the coonskin cap.

Well, he went a-bar-huntin' all alone.
Well, he grinned but the bar bit him clean to the bone.
Davy got the lockjaw an' had to go to bed.
He sneezed an' he blowed off the top of his head.
Davy, Davy Crew-Cut. He can't live his legend down.
He had the only crew-cut coonskin cap in town.
