Subject: Lyr Add: GLORY GLORY HOW PECULIAR
Rock Creek used to sing a tongue twister song called "Glory, Glory, How Peculiar" to the tune of 'John Brown's Body' with verses like:

One sick sheik's sixth sheep was sick,
And the other sick sheik's was not;
One sick sheik's sixth sheep was sick,
And the other sick sheik's was not;
One sick sheik's sixth sheep was sick,
And the other sick sheik's was not;
One sick sheik's sixth sheep was sick,
And the other sick sheik's was not;

CHORUS:
Glory, Glory, how peculiar,
Glory, Glory, how peculiar
Glory, Glory, how peculiar
One sick sheik's sixth sheep was sick,
And the other sick sheik's was not;


One drunk duck dropped into the ditch,
and the other drunk duck dropped dead
One drunk duck dropped into the ditch,
and the other drunk duck dropped dead
One drunk duck dropped into the ditch,
and the other drunk duck dropped dead
One drunk duck dropped into the ditch,
and the other drunk duck dropped dead
CHORUS

One eager eagle eased into the Eaves,
And the other eagle eagle eased East,
One eager eagle eased into the Eaves,
And the other eagle eagle eased East,
One eager eagle eased into the Eaves,
And the other eagle eagle eased East,
One eager eagle eased into the Eaves,
And the other eagle eagle eased East,
CHORUS
