Thread Name: Lyr Add: Oh, Lonesome Me (Don Gibson) + parody
Subject: Lyr Add: OH, LONESOME ME (Homer and Jethro)
And now, the parody:

OH, LONESOME ME
As sung by Homer & Jethro

1. I bought my wife a new sack dress the other day,
And now I wish she'd throw the dad-burn thing away.
I know she's in there, but where can she be?
Oh, lonesome me!

2. She says it's the latest style from gay Paree.
Like a pig within a poke, it seems to be.
Maybe she means Paris, Tennessee.
Oh, lonesome me!

BRIDGE: When she wears a sheath,
I know she's underneath.
Lookin' at her fills my heart with joy.
And in her bathin' suit,
Brother she's a beaut.
She makes Jayne Mansfield look like a boy.

3. Maybe it's a 'tater sack from Pappy's store,
But buttons on a sack I've never seen before.
The old gray mare ain't what she used to be.
Whoa, lonesome me!

4. She was cuter than a polky-dotted pup,
But now she wears a belt to hold her girdle up.
I've called her ever'thing from A to Z.
Oh, lonesome me!
Oh, lonesome me!
