Thread Name: Lyr Req: Tattooed Lady
Subject: Lyr Add: TATTOOED LADY (Homer & Jethro)
Here is the Homer and Jethro version transcribed from the Record Lady site. Their version is actually a combination of the Indiana Home and Let the Rest of the World Go By parodies, with some lyric changes. There was one line I was not sure about and it is in italics.
TATTOOED LADY Homer & Jethro version
Now once I married a tattooed lady It was on a sunny day And tattooed on her body Was the map of the USA Now every night when she would go to sleep I'd flip them kivvers back and take a peek
Upon her neck was Louisiana On her chest was old Tennessee Up on her back was ole Hackensack In the state of you joined me And just below was old Kentucky In those hills I love to roam But when I saw the moonlight shining on the Wabash Then I recognized my Indiana home
On her back was Brazil, On her chest was Bunker Hill, And jist a bit below Was dear old Mexico. Upon her knee was Tennessee That is where I long to be.
Around her waist was Greece And down the road a piece I saw the West Virginny sky Just then I saw my wife, And to save future strife, I let the rest of the world go by!
