You what?

You Double Dawg DARE?

Then I'm a-gonna make you suffer for it...

Jesse and Harry

Jesse and Harry were brothers
Until the both of them died
But since they were both incognito
At their funerals nobody cried


Jesse was buried in Granb'ry
'Neath a stone that said he was "Frank"
Or else someone messed up the markersBR> Lordy, would that be a prank!

chorus:

Harry, was always hot tempered
So when it was time all his folk
Thought "cremate" was better then "bury"
And laughed one last time at the joke

chorus

Now Jesse went by the name Dalton
until the day that he died
For after being a robber
'Twas certain that he had to hide!

chorus

And Harry was nothing but ashes
And dust that was gritty and black
So his kinfolk swept up old Harry
And into a box him did pack

chorus

But was Jesse James "Frank Dalton"?
Or is his resting place lost?
For the body exhumed from the graveyard
most assuredly Jesse was not!

chorus

Meanwhile the boxed brother Harry
was shifted to mantle and ledge
Until one day the housekeeper
Just threw him out under the hedge

Chorus
