Lyrics

The world is turned upside down It surely must be true The way that things are running now Proves that to me and you We're up against it now There's no use to raise a row But of all the times I've ever seen We're sure up against it now Since the highways come They've taxed the farmer down The road's so slick his team can't travel And he has to walk to town We're up against it now There's no use to raise a row But of all the times I've ever seen We're sure up against it now Since the auto's come Mules and horses won't sell The farmer's land is mortgaged down The country's gone to hell We're up against it now There's no use to raise a row But of all the times I've ever seen We're sure up against it now Farmer bought him a tractor He raised quite an alarm He only broke one little piece And he had to sell his farm We're up against it now There's no use to raise a row But the safest rig I've ever seen Is a mule and a bull-tongue plow He once was happy as a lark But now he's down and out The auto is the thing they say That brought this all about We're up against it now There's no use to raise a row But of all the times I've ever seen We're sure up against it now The women, too, are busy now In bobbing off their hair And clipping off their dresses short To make them look more fair We're up against it now There's no use to raise a row But of all the times I've ever seen We're sure up against it now The farmer who's the one we know On whom we must depend Is up against it with the rest With trouble to amend We're up against it now There's no use to raise a row But of all the times I've ever seen We're sure up against it now I kissed a pretty girl of 18 She smelled so sweet around my throat I kissed an old maid of 40 And she smelled like a darned billy-goat We're up against it now There's no use to raise a row But of all the times I've ever seen We're sure up against it now
