Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Peeping through the knothole in Father's
My family version of another song that uses some of the above (and it's unnamed except you also can find some similar verses from "It Ain't Gonna Rain No Mo'" --

The chambermaid came to the door,
"Wake up you lazy sinners.
We need those sheets for tablecloths,
and it's darn near time for dinner."

Ohhhhh, she's the only girl I loved,
with a face like a horse and buggy,
leaning up against the lake,
"Oh, fireman! Save my child."

Well, the child was bigger than the fireman.
"Go easy with that monkey wrench, your father was a nut."

Some nonsensical combination, wouldn't you say?
