YOUR CLOBBERED HEART
As sung by Homer & Jethro.
Tune: YOUR CHEATIN' HEART by Hank Williams

1. Your cheatin' lungs will collapse on you.
So will your heart, an' your gizzard, too.
You'll walk the floor like Ernest Tubb
Till you are wore down to a nub.

CHORUS 1: When tears come down like fallin' rain,
They'll splatter on your varicose veins.
But sleep won't come; you'll toss an' roll
Till your eyes look like two gopher holes.

2. Your feet an' heart are cold as ice.
You never treat me very nice.
Someday you'll melt; just wait an' see.
Then you'll have water on the knee.

CHORUS 2: You'll sneeze till you are tied in knots.
You'll have to take distemper shots.
Your head is like a tobacker sack,
So round, so firm, so fully cracked.

OK. Here is what I think are the lyrics to: "You Belong to Me"

Anyone know the lyrics to Homer and Jethro's "Love and Marriage"?

YOU BELONG TO ME

Bring me paw-paws in a paper poke.
Send me money, darlin', when I'm broke.
Make your will out to me when you croak.
You belong to me.

Eat some garlic and I'll love you still,
'Cause I love you and I always will.
That's why they discovered chlorophyll.
You belong to me.

My poor heart would burn without you.
Maybe you'll get heartburn too; that's true.

Let's cross the ocean in our motor boats.
Climb the mountains like two billy-goats.
Just be careful where you sow your oats.
You belong to me.

She rolled her big blue eyeballs at me.
I picked 'em up and rolled 'em back.
I hate the day I saw the pyramids.
That's the day my heart went on the skids.
Now I've got a wife and thirteen kids.
They belong to me (me an' Jethro).
They belong to me (fifty-fifty).
They belong to me.

I just posted the lyrics to Homer & Jethro's HOUN' DOG—a parody of the Big Mama Thornton/Elvis Presley song—in a thread about that song, here
