Thread Name: Lyr Add: parodies sung by Homer and Jethro
Subject: Lyr Add: JAM-BOWL-LIAR (Homer & Jethro)
JAM-BOWL-LIAR, is, of course, a parody of Hank Williams' JAMBALYA..
Homer & Jethro's recording appears on their album "America's Song Butchers: The Weird World of Homer & Jethro," Razor & Tie CD #2130, 1997.
It's also on YouTube, which is where I heard theses lyrics:
JAM-BOWL-LIAR As sung by Homer & Jethro
Goodbye, ma'am. We gotta scram down the highway. Stick out your thumb, you son-of-a-gun. Goin' my way? I got a ride with a guy in a wagon, In a sack in the back that he was a-draggin'. Jam-bowl-liar, shoo-fly pie, an' bananner puddin', 'Cause tonight I'm a-gonna see ol' Sally Goodin. Danced all night; on my feet wore a blister. Had to sidetrack her nose when I kissed her.
On the couch side by side we was settin', And just about the time we started a-pettin', Some big hick throwed a brick through the winder, Hit her side, hurt her pride, broke my finger. Jam-bowl-liar, horse-meat pie on a push-cart, Flipped my lid, always did love that red heart It was rough. The meat was tough. I chewed it slow. Almost choked when some bloke hollered "Whoa!"
Jam-bowl-liar an' a pizza pie an' a bowl o' soup beans, Spotted ham and a can o' choc'late-coated sardines. When we sing, it sounds just like a cat-and-dog fight, But we don't sing for money, just for spi-ite.
