Roosevelt and Ira Lee

歌詞

This is about two cats They're sittin' down by a river in the swamps They're sittin' down on the logs One of them is kind of a big fellow And the other one is a little bit smaller And he's got a long billed cap And they're sittin' there ponderin' On what they're gonna do for the night And anything the big guy decides On the little guy's for 'Cause he digs him, he's cool So it's called Roosevelt and Ira Lee The river was dark and muddy And the moon was on the rise And all of the creatures in the swampland Had woke up to feed for the night Roosevelt and Ira Lee, huh, were sittin' there on a log Ira Lee turned to Roosevelt and said I'd sure like to have a mess of bull frog He said, yeah, yeah, lawd, sure would taste good So they slipped on their rubber boots And walked down to the water's edge And right away they knew That the night would be a bummer 'Cause Ira Lee stepped On a water mossacin He said, uh, uh, lawd Somebody help me Ira Lee turned to Roosevelt When he quit his screamin' and kickin' And he said, let's forget about the bullfrog legs And go out and steal us some chickens And Ol' Roosevelt said like this now Yeah, yeah, ooh, it sure would taste good Yes it would, I love a chicken Oh, the river was dark and muddy, yeah
