CHILDREN'S SONG
DID YOU EVER TAKE A WALK ON A HOT SUMMER DAY
DOWN BY THE RIVER JUST TO PASS THE TIME AWAY?
PUT YOUR HANDS IN YOUR POCKET AND YOUR
POCKETS IN YOUR PANTS, AND WATCH THE LITTLE
FISHEES DO THE HOOTCHIE-HOOTCHIE DANCE.
OH AN OLD CROW FLEW IN A COUNTRY STORE
AND HE PTTTT ON THE COUNTER AND HE PTTTT ON THE
FLOOR, AND HE PTTTT IN THE COFFEE AND HE PTTTT IN
THE TEA. AND IF I HADNA' RUN, HE'D A PTTTT ON ME.
IF FROGS HAD WINGS AND TOADS HAD HAIR
AUTOMOBILES COULD FLY IN THE AIR. IF PUMPKINS
GREW ON WATERMELON VINES, YOU OUGHTA HAVE
SNOW IN THE SUMMERTIME.

LET'S SAY YOU ARE GOING WITH A YOUNG MAN FOR ONE OR TWO
YEARS AND ALL AT ONCE, YOU CHANGED YOUR MIND AND YOU GOT
ANOTHER GUY. ON A CERTAIN NIGHT, THE JOKERS WOULD MAKE
A WOMAN (AND WE RAISE A LOT OF FLOCKS), THEY WOULD GO
AND GET THE OUTSIDE OF THE FLOCKS AND SPREAD THE STUFF
STARTING WITH THE CLOSEST STREET TO THE GUYS HOUSE TO
HIS HOUSE, AT THE END OF THE STUFF WOULD BE THE WOMAN.
THEN EVERYONE WOULD COME OUT AND HAVE A LAUGH. THEY
WOULD DO THE SAME IF IT HAPPENED TO A GIRL.
