She'll be comin' 'round the mountain when she comes. (Whoo, whoo!)
[Repeat.]
She'll be comin' 'round the mountain,
blowing steam off
like a fountain,
She'll be comin' 'round the mountain when she comes.
She'll be driving six white horses, when she comes,
(Whoa, there!)
[etc.]
Oh, we'll all go out to meet her when she comes. (Hi babe!)
She'll be wearing silk pajamas when she comes, [Wolf whistle.]
And, we'll wear our bright red woolies when she comes, (Scratch, scratch!)
Oh, we'll kill the old red rooster, (Hack, hack!)
cause he don't crow
like he use ter.
Oh, we'll all have chicken and dumplings when she comes, (Yum, yum! / Yuck,
yuck!)
Oh, we'll all have indigestion when she comes, (Burp, burp!)
There are rats, rats, as big as alley cats,
At the store, at the store.
There are rats, rats, as big as alley cats,
At the Quartermaster's
store.
CHORUS
My eyes are dim, I can not see.
I have not brought my
specks with me. [Repeat.]
Mice . . . running through the rice.
Beans . . . as big as submarines.
Gravy . . . enough to float the navy.
Cakes . . . that give us tummy aches.
Butter . . . running in the gutter.
Bread . . . with great big lumps like lead.
Cheese . . . that makes you want to sneeze.
Goats . . . eating all the oats
Bees . . . with little knobby knees.
Owls . . . shredding paper towels.
Apes . . . eating all the grapes.
Foxes . . . stuffed in little boxes.
Coke . . . enough to make you choke.
Pepsi . . . that gives you apoplexy.
Flies . . . swarming 'round the pies.
Fishes . . . washing all the dishes.
Moths . . . eating through the cloths
