SONG OF GOOD HUMOR

LAST NIGHT AS I LAY ON MY PILLOW,
LAST NIGHT AS I LAY ON MY BED,
I STUCK MY FEET OUT OF THE WINDOW
AND IN THE MORNING MY NEIGHBORS WERE DEAD.
BRING BACK, BRING BACK, BRING BACK MY NEIGHBORS TO ME. (SUNG TWICE)

POPEYE THE SAILOR

I'M POPEYE THE SAILOR MAN
I LIVE IN A GARBAGE CAN
I LIKE TO GO SWIMMIN
WITH BARE-NAKED WOMEN
I'M POPEYE THE SAILOR MAN.

INFORMANT IS A FRIENDS BROTHER, AND HE REMEMBERS THIS FROM HIS
CHILDHOOD.
IT IS SUNG TO THE SAME TUNE AS THE REGULAR POPEYE SONG.

IT AIN'T GOING TO RAIN NO MORE, NO MORE,
IT AIN'T GOING TO RAIN NO MORE,
BUT HOW IN THE HECK, CAN I WASH MY NECK,
IF IT AIN'T GOING TO RAIN NO MORE.
