Here's a parody of Ole Slew Foot...


BIGFOOT
Recorded by: Buzz Martin
Writer: Buzz Martin
To the Tune of: Ole Slew Foot

Way up on the mountainside, look what I found
Great big man tracks, sinkin' in the ground
It's the legendary Sasquatch they're all harpin' on
But Ole Bigfoot, he's been there an gone.

CHORUS
He's big around the middle and he's broad across the rump
Goin' ninety miles an hour takin' forty foot a jump
Ain't ever been caught, or ever run up a tree
Some folks say he sings a lot like me.

He's been seen by almost ever'body, almost ever'where
He's mostly been seen when he wasn't even there
They say he's a monster with a mind of a child
I think he's just a logger that plumb went wild.

CHORUS

They've chased Ole Bigfoot as far as he can go
When they'll catch and civilize him, well, nobody knows
He shouldn't have to suffer over modern man's whim
You wouldn't want your sister to go to school with him. Well,

CHORUS

TAG: Some folks say he looks a lot like me.
