I usually encourage people to post just links to pop songs, but this one is just too good. -Joe Offer- Nashville Cats The Lovin' Spoonful - peak Billboard position # 8 in 1967 - Words and Music by John B. Sebastian CHORUS Nashville Cats, play clean as country water Nashville Cats, play wild as mountain dew Nashville Cats, been playin' since they's babies Nashville Cats, get work before they're two Well, there's thirteen hundred and fifty two Guitar pickers in Nashville And they can pick more notes than the number of ants On a Tennessee anthill Yeah, there's thirteen hundred and fifty two Guitar cases in Nashville And any one that unpacks 'is guitar could play Twice as better than I will Yeah, I was just thirteen, you might say I was a Musical proverbial knee-high When I heard a couple new-sounding tunes on the tubes And they blasted me sky-high And the record man said every one is a Yellow Sun Record from Nashville And up North there ain't nobody buys them And I said, "But I will" And it was CHORUS Well, there's sixteen thousand eight hundred 'n' twenty one Mothers from Nashville All their friends play music, and they ain't uptight If one of the kids will Because it's custom made for any mother's son To be a guitar picker in Nashville And I sure am glad I got a chance to say a word about The music and the mothers from Nashville CHORUS SPOKEN: Kick it [Instrumental to end] |

11 Dec 03 - 09:23 AM (#1070215) Subject: Lyr Add: NASHVILLE CATS (parody by Homer & Jethro) From: Jim Dixon Lyrics to this parody transcribed from the sound file at http://www.geocities.com/u2page6/ NASHVILLE CATS (As sung by Homer & Jethro) Nashville cats, they all drive great big new cars. Nashville cats got boats an' airplanes, too. Nashville cats got diamond-studded guitars. Nashville cats, they all got payments due. Well, there's a thousand-some-odd guitar pickers an' the number keeps a-risin'. They all double on the fiddle and the five-string banjer and they do the harmonizin'. An' you can't keep track of all the drummers an' the strummers an' they even got hummers, too. An' any Nashville yokel in the local does the vocal even twice as better as we do. Nashville cats play hotter than a 'tater. Nashville cats, they sure do practice hard. Nashville cats been playin' since they's babies. Nashville cats, bet they sure are tard [=tired]. Well, there's a thousand-and-some-odd guitar pickers an' they're ever' one sayin', "I can read a little music an' I do read notes, but not enough to hurt my playin'." An' you can't keep track of all the records they make, an ever' one is a million-seller. An' they all feel sorry for the pore folks like Johnson and Rockefeller. REPEAT FIRST VERSE [Recorded by Homer & Jethro on "Nashville Cats," 1967; and "The Best of Homer & Jethro," 1996.] |

11 Dec 03 - 04:05 PM (#1070474) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: nashville cats ; the ballad of sally From: Jim Dixon Several sources on the 'Net say that NOSHVILLE KATZ is the correct title, and it was recorded by The Lovin' Cohens in 1967. But I don't think we ever had the complete lyrics till now, although they have been mentioned, quoted, and requested. Thanks, Amos. |

05 Aug 08 - 11:13 PM (#2406226) Subject: Lyr Add: NOSHVILLE KATZ (from The Lovin' Cohens) From: Jim Dixon Here's my transcription of the "video" at YouTube. NOSHVILLE KATZ As sung by The Lovin' Cohens. CHORUS: Noshville Katz. He runs a kosher deli. Noshville Katz, the only place in town. Noshville Katz, it's not like you're in Brooklyn. Noshville Katz, the only one around. Well, there's thirteen-hundred and fifty-two different restaurants in Nashville, And you can eat anything from a hominy grit to a Contac time-pill, But there's only one place to get a half-sour pickle or a corned-beef sandwich in Nashville. Just ask anybody how to get to Katz's if you're lookin' to eat well. About a year ago, it was impossible to find a kosher delicatessen, And the people said, "Mr. Katz, won't you open up a place to fress in?" Well, it was a good idea for a Brooklyn boy to bring a kosher deli to Nashville, And when his bubbeh asked him who would eat his food, he said, "The Tennessee folks will." They call him—CHORUS. Have a yiddisher dish, a potato knish, or a bagel with cream cheese, A little chicken soup, or gefilte fish, with some carrots and green peas. If you can get through that, have a little chopped liver, or a piece of herring in wine sauce, Then you can wash it down with a Doctor Brown. Shouldn't be a total loss. Eat, darling, eat! CHORUS. SPOKEN: They also cater bar mitzvahs. |
