FEUDIN' AND FIGHTIN'
(Burton Lane and Al Dubin)

CHORUS: Feudin', a-fussin', and a-fightin',
Sometimes it gets to be excitin'
Don't like them ornery neighbors down by the creek,
We'll be plumb out of neighbors next week,

Grandma, poor ol' grandma,
Why'd they have to shoot poor grandma,
She lies 'neath the clover,
Someone caught her bendin' over, pickin' up a daisy,

Feudin', a-fussin', and a-fightin',
This is a wrong that needs a rightin',
Let's get that funeral service over so then....
We can start in a-feudin' again! CHO.

Feudin' and fightin' and a-fussin,'
That's all that's goin' on with us'n.
We are such neighborly people peaceful and sweet,
All except when we happen to meet.

Daughter, baby daughter,
Poisoned all the neighbors chickens.
Daughter hadn't oughter
Least 'till she could run like the dickens.
They hit her with a shovel!

Feudin' and fightin' and a-fussin'
No use a-standin' here a-cussin,'
Let's give our daughter a pistol now that she's four
And go feudin' and fightin' some more.
