Poppa  I know
 There's a frog  on my toe
Maybe  I'll call him Jethro
Maybe  I'll grow up to be
 As wise,  good as he
 And maybe  I'll come back after you're  long gone
Poppa  I'm sure
 The worms  have eaten you now
 And Jethro's  been on some Frenchy's plate long ago
Now  I'm pretty sure that I listen  to every word
 'cause I still  hear you telling  me still
 "slap them boys  when they're naughty
 Make 'em crawl,  make you haughty
 Make you strong,  little girl
 You paint them toes  the reddish colour
 And you know  one day
 You're gonna be bigger  than a flea
 You're gonna be bigger  than that old poison  ivy tree"
Now  I'm pretty sure
 That I think  you'd come and visit
 And talk  sometimes kind of like gadget
A  funny little chance like an Indian  brave
 He said  "we all grew fat when the white  man came"
 But one  day girl you're gonna learn to make  'em crawl
 Make 'em grow tall
 But have the grace
 To be a lady  with disgrace
 And you  fry them 'taters
 And you make  them with ladies
Hands  I know  you're my pappy's  baby
