Same Old Tale That The Crow Told Me Lyrics
Well a tom cat sittin’ on a bale of hay
And a bulldog a-sittin’ on the ground
I went and fetched the bulldog’s tail
And they went around and around and around
They went around and around
It’s the same old tale that the crow told me
Way down yonder by the sycamore tree
It’s the same old tale that the crow told me
Way down yonder by the sycamore tree
Well I had an old cow and she slobbered so bad
Spent all my money that I ever had
I went and asked the doctor what to do about it
He said I’d have to teach the old cow how to spit
He said I’d have to teach the old cow how to spit
A humpback man went to a football game
The game was called off on account of rain
The humpback went to get his quarter back
The fullback kicked the hump off of the humpback’s back
He kicked the hump off the humpback’s back
Well I just found out my hams so high
Only two hind legs on a hog that’s flyin’
Cross it with an octopus and ham will come down
The hog in the middle and ham all around
Hog in the middle and ham all around
And a bulldog a-sittin’ on the ground
I went and fetched the bulldog’s tail
And they went around and around and around
They went around and around
It’s the same old tale that the crow told me
Way down yonder by the sycamore tree
It’s the same old tale that the crow told me
Way down yonder by the sycamore tree
Well I had an old cow and she slobbered so bad
Spent all my money that I ever had
I went and asked the doctor what to do about it
He said I’d have to teach the old cow how to spit
He said I’d have to teach the old cow how to spit
A humpback man went to a football game
The game was called off on account of rain
The humpback went to get his quarter back
The fullback kicked the hump off of the humpback’s back
He kicked the hump off the humpback’s back
Well I just found out my hams so high
Only two hind legs on a hog that’s flyin’
Cross it with an octopus and ham will come down
The hog in the middle and ham all around
Hog in the middle and ham all around
