Standing on
the corner I meant to do no harm
along came a
Flatfoot and took me by the arm.
he took me
to the jailhouse he ran a funny bell
out came
Elvis Presley and took me to my cell.
I woke up in
the morning and look up on the wall
the bedbugs
and the cuties where having a game of ball.
the score
was 6 to nothing the cuties were ahead
along came a
bedbug and knocked me out of bed
Oh it ain’t
going to rain no more no more
it ain’t going
to rain no more so how in the heck
can I wash
my neck if it ain’t to rain no more.
Mary had a
steamboat the steamboat had a bell
Mary went to
heaven the steamboat when to
hello
operator give me number nine
if they do
not answer, give be back my dime.
