Country babies wear diapers, or nothin’.

Onesies also have buckles, buttons and cute little bows!

… Oh the Murphy’s gave a party just about a week ago

Everything was plentiful, the Murphy’s they’re not slow

They treated us like gentlemen, we tried to act the same

But only for what happened, well it was an awful shame

… When Mrs. Murphy dished the chowder out

She fainted on the spot

She found a pair of overalls

In the bottom of the pot

Tex Nolan he got rippin’ mad

His eyes were bulgin’ out

He jumped up on the PI-A-NO

And loudly he did shout

… Oh, who threw the overalls in Mrs Murphy’s chowder

Nobody spoke, so he shouted all the louder

It’s a cowboy trick that’s true

I can lick the hick that threw

The overalls in Mrs Murphy’s chowder

… So we dragged the pants from out the soup and laid them on the floor

Each man swore upon his breast he’d ne’er seen them before

They were plastered up with mortar and were worn out at the knee

They’d had their many ups and downs as we could plainly see

… when Mrs Murphy she came to she began to cry and pout

She’d had them in the wash that day and forgot to take them out

Tex Nolan he excused himself for what he’d said that night

So we put music to the words and sang with all our might

… Oh, who threw the overalls in Mrs Murphy’s chowder

Nobody spoke so we shouted all the louder

It’s a cowboy trick that’s true

I can lick the hick that threw

The overalls in Mrs Murphy’s chowder

Cue the banjos and away we go…..

Almost everyone I know (over the age of 2) Hates overalls. Why…? Because they are like dog halters – grab in the lower back area and you can halt or even pick up a person. It tends to hurt tender parts (like chest and crotch)… and that is why few will wear them. The only ones who do appreciate them is jobs that need a person to be rescued/air lifted out of a dangerous situation.

Well I guess that about covers it.

That toon was funny.
