KAZOO SOLO
I've rambled from Canada to the Panama Canal
I've hustled and gambled with many a pal
Sailed on the Atlantic for a year or more
I've even been a clerk in a ten cent store
KAZOO SOLO
I went from Maine to the Golden Gate
Even shook a shimmy with my sister Kate
Saw Uncle Jack, the Jelly Roll King
Give Clara Bow her diamond ring
KAZOO SOLO
I fired the boiler for Ford's sawmill
Even drawed the water for Jack and Jill
Worked a while on the old S P
Then I floated on a cracker down to Tennessee
KAZOO SOLO
I've tucked the covers for old Queen Anne
I shot three times at a regular man
Voted for Hoover, even shined his shoes
I'm the man who wrote the "Jake Walk Blues"
KAZOO SOLO
I'm always bragging wherever I go
'Bout building the ark in Jericho
Favor taxes when they're not misplaced
And I'm smoking Golden Grain in a Chesterfield's place
KAZOO SOLO
I went to school with Red Riding Hood
I've gambled on the rock where Moses stood
Saw Gid Tanner when he tried to wed
The "Bully Of The Town" to "Ida Red"
KAZOO SOLO
I've done the Charleston with big Babe Ruth
It's an awful easy thing to misplace the truth
If you want to hear another, just play the other side
While I take my gal for a buggy ride
KAZOO OUTRO
