"Keep The Flies Off Of The Cake"
(C) 2020 by Deb Seymour
Great grandpa was a cowboy, took great grandma for his wife
For fifty years you know they’ve led a happy life
And now they’re celebratin’ with folks from far and near
All come to the ranch to toast the couple with good cheer
The garden is a bustin’ out with all the flowers in bloom
The kitchen is a jumpin’ with tasty barbeque
Old Joe is an old cow hand, wants to help out
Great-grandpa takes a look around and then says “here’s how”
CHORUS:
Keep the flies off of the cake
This is a special party, make no mistake
We don’t want those nasty bugs down in our insides
Keep the flies off the cake and all will be all right
Now Old Joe is a bit perplexed, he’s not sure what to do
Cause waving both his arms around he feels like a fool
But a swatter would be messy as far as he could see
That’s when he turns around and grabs the can of DDT
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Today we know things we didn’t know back then
DDT kills birds and makes chromosomes bend
Everybody ate the cake, no one thought it funny
Not my aunts & uncles nor my then teen-aged mommy
The years flew by and I was born, and things turned out OK
But I still have some questions about my DNA
‘Cause Instead of being a doctor, lawyer, judge or statistician
I turned out to be a mutant freaky folk musician
CHORUS
CODA: "Yodel-lay-hee-hoo…."
