Lyrics

Mama bought a chicken, took it for a duck
 Thought it'd be layin' eggs, about eight, nine, ten
 Made it a nest outta some old straw and grass
 But it didn't lay nothin' but its yass, yass, yass
 Mama bought a rooster, took it for a duck
 Set it on the table with its feet stickin' up
 Along came the children with a spoon and a glass
 Went to stirrin' up the gravy from its yass, yass, yass
 "Mama, mama, come look at sis
 Out in the backyard and dancin' like this"
 "Sister, sister, you come in here fast
 And quit that shakin' of your yass, yass, yass"
 She said, "Mama,
 all the young folks are doin' it these days, and the old folks too
 The young folks tellin' the old folks just what to do
 First you shake your shoulder and you shake it real fast
 And if you can't shake your shoulder shake your yass, yass, yass
 Way up yonder on a mountain peak
 A bullfrog dipped his tail in a hot pan of grease
 He said, "Excuse me,
 ladies and gentlemen, would you kindly let me pass
 I'm a-slippin' and a-slidin' on my yass, yass, yass
 Way out in Texas, in Abilene
 A tomcat sat on a sewin' machine
 Well that sewin' machine, you know it sewed so fast
 It sewed ninety-nine stitches in his yass, yass, yass
 "Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house
 Not a creature was stirrin', not even a mouse
 Out by the chimney I thought I heard somethin' pass
 It was Santa Claus skiddin' on his yass, yass, yass
