Strange Day |
John Stewart/George Yanok |
(Spoken) I remember when I rode into town that morning in December of forty-eight. |
Oh, bitter cold. |
I had on my parka, my sheepskin coat and my brown |
and white spectator pumps. |
Cut quite a figure if I do say so. |
Huh, cute. |
First thing I spied was a poster. |
There’s going to be a dance. |
The second |
Hogsville dandy-steppin' ball and frog happin; |
contest. |
Drag. |
Chorus: |
Strange day. |
Strange day. |
Strange day in Hogsville, U. S. A. |
I’m goin' to start off but there weren’t no lady folk in sight. |
I figured they |
was all up a-primpin' for the dance and, being a man of no small charms with |
the ladies myself, I decided to park Old Paint and change my socks -- from him |
to me. |
(I find that extremely offensive!) So did Old Paint. |
But there were no gals for miles around, not one gal in the whole darn town. |
So, if you want to go dancin', just look around for the next best thing that |
can befound. |
(Chorus) |
That’s right. |
I soon found there wasn’t no women nowhere. |
Fellows goin' to the |
dance was takin' some of the strangest things. |
One was takin' a broom, |
all dressed up in a pinafore, bleached straws, looked kinda cheap to me. |
Another was totin' a picture of a girl. |
He’d been goin' with that picture so long he thought real girls folded in the middle. |
Now I was getting depressed, |
but then I spied the cutest little thing you ever saw, givin' me the eye from |
underneath the waterin' trough. |
Had little eyes, curly tail, and the dearest |
little pointed ears you ever seen. |
I grabbed her paw (What'd her paw have to say? Shut up when he’s a-talkin'!) and we wobbled into the dance. |
The minute we get into the dance the music stopped and a feller said, «Wait a minute! |
That’s the sheriff’s gal!"(You mean?) |
Strange day. |
Strange day. |
Strange day in Hogsville, (You know, I can still hear |
the little critter) U. S. A! |
