Flat Stuff |
Sundown like a showtune |
Trumpets play full blast |
To create a great impression |
Ah, but it doesn’t seem to last |
Flat stuff, flat stuff |
Way out to the way out to the setting sun |
The muskrat and the bullfrog |
The rabbit and the skunk |
Old barns full of blue sky |
Backyards full of junk |
Flat stuff, flat stuff |
Way out to the way out to the setting sun |
You can’t find no river |
That ain’t low and brown |
It’s full of sixteen catfish |
Who just lay there farting aroun' |
Flat stuff, flat stuff |
Way out to the way out to the setting sun |
Pete hollers to Ruthie |
«Open me a beer |
When you get it open |
Bring it over here.» |
Flat stuff, flat stuff |
Way out to the way out to the setting sun |
The sun looks like a cookie |
That didn’t come out right |
Ah, the moon looks like a cookie |
And someone stole a bite |
Flat stuff, flat stuff |
Way out to the way out to the setting sun |
When them old boys come through |
Sometimes I think it would have been best |
If they’d said, «Jesus, it’s too flat here» |
And just kept going West |
Out of the flat stuff, flat stuff |
Way out to the setting sun |
