Walter Brennan - Life Gets Tee-jus, Don't It lyrics

The sun comes up and the sun goes down

The hands on the clock keep a-goin' 'round

I just get up and it's time to lay down

Life gets tee-jus, don't it, hmm.

My shoes untied but I don't care

I ain't a-figurin' on goin' nowhere

For I'd have to wash and comb my hair

And that's just wasted effort.

The water in the well just gettin' lower and lower

Can't take a bath at six months more

But I've heared it said and it's true, I'm sure

That to much bathin' will, will weaken you.

I opened the door an' the fly's swarm in

Closed the door and I'm sweatin' again

And in the pros.. (a huchh) crack my shin

Just one darn thing after another.

Old brown mule he must be sick

I jambed him in the rump with a pin on a stick

He humped his back but he wouldn't kick

Now theres something cock-eyed somewhere.

A mouse a-chewin' on the pantry door

He's been at it fer a month or more

When he gets through he'd sure be sore

'Cause there ain't a darned thing in there.

Hound dog howlin' so forlorn

Laziest dog that was ever born

He's a-howlin' 'cause he's a-settin' on a thorn

An' just to tired to move over.

The tin roof leaks and chimney leans

An' there's a hole in the seat of my old blue jeans

And I ett the last of the pork and beans

Just can't depend on nothin'.

Cow's gone dry and the hens won't lay

Fish quit bittin' and it's Saturday

Troubles are pilin' up day by day

And now I'm gettin' dandruff.

Grief and misery, pains and woes

Debts and taxes, yea, so it goes

I think I'm gettin' a cold in my nose

Life get tee-just don't it?...
