Roosevelt and Ira Lee - Night of the Mossacin

3 views

Lyrics

This is about two cats
 They're sittin' down by a river in the swamps
 They're sittin' down on the logs
 One of them is kind of a big fellow
 And the other one is a little bit smaller
 And he's got a long billed cap
 And they're sittin' there ponderin'
 On what they're gonna do for the night
 And anything the big guy decides
 On the little guy's for
 'Cause he digs him, he's cool
 So it's called Roosevelt and Ira Lee
 The river was dark and muddy
 And the moon was on the rise
 And all of the creatures in the swampland
 Had woke up to feed for the night
 Roosevelt and Ira Lee, huh, were sittin' there on a log
 Ira Lee turned to Roosevelt and said
 I'd sure like to have a mess of bull frog
 He said, yeah, yeah, lawd, sure would taste good
 So they slipped on their rubber boots
 And walked down to the water's edge
 And right away they knew
 That the night would be a bummer
 'Cause Ira Lee stepped
 On a water mossacin
 He said, uh, uh, lawd
 Somebody help me
 Ira Lee turned to Roosevelt
 When he quit his screamin' and kickin'
 And he said, let's forget about the bullfrog legs
 And go out and steal us some chickens
 And Ol' Roosevelt said like this now
 Yeah, yeah, ooh, it sure would taste good
 Yes it would, I love a chicken
 Oh, the river was dark and muddy, yeah
