Walter Brennan - Life Gets Tee-jus, Don't It lyrics

rate me

The sun comes up and the sun goes down

The hands on the clock keep goin' around

I just get up and it's time to lay down

Life gets tee-jus, don't it.

My shoes untied but I don't care

I ain't a-figurin' on goin' nowhere

I'd have to wash and comb my hair

And that's just wasted effort.

The water in the well's gettin' lower and lower

Can't take a bath for six months more

But I've heard it said and it's true, I'm sure

That *too* much bathin' will weaken ya.

I opened the door an' the flies swarm in

Closed the door and I'm sweatin' again

And in the process I 8cracked* my shin

Just one *durn* thing after another.

--- Instrumental ---

Old brown mule he must be sick

I jambed him in the rump with a pin on a stick

He humped his back but he wouldn't kick

Theres something cock-eyed somewhere.

A mouse a-chewin' on the pantry door

He's been at it fer a month or more

When he gets through he'll sure be sore

'Cause there ain't a durned thing in there.

Hound dog howlin' so forlorn

Laziest dog that was ever born

He's howlin' 'cause he's settin' on a thorn

An' just to tired to move over.

The tin roof leaks and the chimney leans

There's a hole in the seat of my old blue jeans

And I ett the last of the pork and beans

Just can't depend on nothin'.

--- Instrumental ---

Cow's gone dry and the hens won't lay

Fish quit bitin' last Saturday

Troubles are pilin' up day by day

And now I'm gettin' dandruff.

Grief and misery, pains and woes

Debts and taxes, yea, so it goes

I think I'm gettin' a cold in my nose

Life get tasteless don't it?...
