Only dead folks get my jokes
Storm the castle and swim the moat
Across the world lives a big old goat
Whose got nine eyes and breathes nothing but smoke
And he loves Lily but Lily loves me
And she loves Shelia but Shelia Loves me
So let's go out back and plant a family tree
Just happy as a couple motherfuckers can be
Load your pistol to shoot the breeze
Go to the garden, tell the birds and bees
Not to bother the girls or harass the boys
Busk for your breakfast, baby, make some noise
We'll wake up grandpa, wake up Jane
Throw a couple rocks at their window pane
If daddy gives me money, I'll drink my milk
Got women to scare, got a world to tilt
If daddy gives me money, I'll drink my milk
Got women to scare, got a world to tilt
If the daddy gives me money, I'll drink my milk
Got women to scare, got a world to tilt
There's no one in the world but you for me
So let's go out back and plant a family tree
