Yakety Ace |
| Poverty stricken but still I’m a-stickin' to the things I know to be facts |
| One day it’s feathers and the next day chicken while I’m pickin' my yakety axe |
| Ev’rybody says that I never will get far, keepin' out of work by pickin' this |
| guitar |
| Livin' on a shoestring, puttin' off things like a shave and a haircut |
| Money don’t matter as long as I scatter a little bit of happiness around |
| If people keep a grinnin' I figure I’m a winnin' my good old yakety sound |
| City folks go around turnin' up their noses and countin' their greenbacks and |
| smellin' their roses |
| But I wouldn’t trade my yakety axe, even for a T-bone |
| I’m confessin' I never took a lesson, all my notes are a matter of guessin' |
| Hopin' they’ll come out in some kinda manner that’ll make the yakety sound |
| So if you’re in the mood and your feet start tappin' |
| And you feel laid back and your hands start clappin' |
| Then I’ll have done what I wanted to from way back |
| You’re diggin' my yakety axe |
