Posted originally to a MC thread in 98 by Roger Himler (aka Rodger in Baltimore) this one has not yet worked its way into the DT.

A standard with the old Smother's Brothers show of the U.S. 70's. This is a variation on their "My Old Man" Best as a pre-rehersed (over and over) set piece, where the team joins in on the chorus.

My Old Man
Tune: My Old Man

LEADER: Well, my old man is an Army Colonel.

ALL: So what do you think about that?

He wears a colonel's raincoat,
He wears a colonel's hat,
He wears a colonel's collar,
He wears a colonel's shoes,
And when he gets home on Friday night . . .

LEADER: He plays with his privates.

ALL: And some day, if I can,

I'm gonna grow up just like my old man.

VERSES:

Confectioner . . . He packs fudge.

Organ Grinder . . . He spanks his monkey.

Farmer . . . He chokes his chicken.

Butcher . . . He plays with his meat.

Navy Captain . . . He inspects his seamen.
