Yee Haw
It was rowdier than usual,
At the hoedown last night
There was a crowd of folk,
And the atmosphere was just right.
The musicians played loud,
And the gee-tars were a strummin'
The whole darn place
A buzzing and a humming.
Solomon, the town's undertaker
And his glamorous wife,
Came into the hall
And that caused the strife.
Chip, the carpenter,
Was well known in town
He was the type of fella,
That the girls hung around.
Chip asked Solomon's wife to dance,
The other girls realised they didn't
Stand a chance
To dance with Chip that night.
And then it happened in a flash,
Furious Solomon made a dash
For Chip and grabbed him around the neck
What the flaming' heck
Is going on, said Chip,
Who was now sporting a bloody lip
Goin' on, the undertaker said
Whose face was now a brilliant red
Yeah, holding ma gal too tight
She can only dance with me tonight.
All the Yeehaw and raunchy fun
Ceased as everyone stopped to stare
At the undertaker and the carpenter
Fighting there.
They were matching each other blow for blow.
Until the dancers screamed, "Oh No."
The undertaker was lying on the floor,
His feet were halfway out of the door.
He was dead.
It all turned out well for Chip,
His only pain was his split lip
He made the undertaker casket
And a petite gal scattered rose petals from a basket
When Chip and the glamour gal wed
In the church where Solomon lay dead.
