Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Peeping through the knothole in Father's
My dad used to sing this tune to we kids in the 1950s. He learned it at San Francisco, Boy Scouts in the late 1920s I think. He knew a few crazy song that really made a hit with us.
The horses run around, their feet are on the ground
Who will wind the clock when I'm away... away.
Go get the Listerine, sister's got a beau.
Oh, I hope that grandma's teeth will soon fit Jenny, fit Jenny.

Lookin through the knothole, on grandpa's wooden leg,
Why do they build the shore so near the ocean. the ocean
A snakes belt always slips, just because he has no hips,
and his belt line is just below his neck tie, his neck tie.

Lookin through a window, a second story window,
I slipped and sprained by eyebrow on the pavement, the pavement,
Go get the axe, there's a hair on baby's chin,
Oh a boy's best friend is his mother, his mother.

She spanked him with a shingle, and made his panties tingle,
Because he socked his little baby brother, his brother,
Runnin down the lane, with his britches full of pain,
Oh a boy's best friend is his mother, his mother.
