Tom and Jerry

Change of pace: My kids were watching a DVD of Tom and Jerry (one of the more recent cartoons that they're allowed to watch), and "Pecos Pest" came on. I hadn't seen it, but thought that Uncle Pecos's song was hilarious.



The lyrics that he tries to sing are these:

Frog went a courtin, he did ride, Crambo. [No idea why he interjects that word].
Frog went a courtin, he did ride, Crambo.
Frog went a courtin, he did ride,
Sword and a pistol [he stutters here and says "revolver" instead] by his side, Crambo.

Crambo killed [then a bunch of stuttering and scat, during which he apparently can't sing what he intended], that's the hard part right in there, nephew.

[He attempts to yodel, but then explains that it's too high.]

Where will the wedding supper be, Crambo.
Where will the wedding supper be, Crambo.
Where will the wedding supper be,
Way down yonder in the [he tries several times to say "hickory" and then "cottonwood," but can't, and finally says, "eucalyptus"] tree, Crambo.
