Kaddywompas
words and music by Tim Noah © 1989
Clean white sheets and underwear
Flappin’ on the clothesline
Catchin’ fresh air
Chicken in the kitchen, pigs in the barn
Flea bit dog o’ mine don’t give a darn
And I’m jumpin’ up high
Kickin’ an ol’ cow pie
Chasin’ dragon flies
Under the clear blue sky
Hey-ay look at that corn
Nothin’ like a country mornin’
You can eat a stack
Of sourdough flapjacks
Gallop all day on the bay
With a sway back
Get a big smack on the lips
In the haystack
Go to church and pray
CHORUS:
When I get to Kaddywompas
I’m gonna go hog wild
When I get to Kaddywompas
Bein’ Mother Nature’s child
When I get to Kaddywompas
You can see a friendly smile
A country mile away
Huckleberry jam,
Screen door slam
Get your chores done
Quick as you can
Goin’ runnin’ through the woods
Shinny up a tree
Chased by bears
And stung by bees
Ol’ guys swattin’ at flies
Swappin’ them same old lies
Eatin’ apple pies
Under the clear blue sky
Hey-ay look at that corn
Nothin’ like a country mornin’
I’m goin’ uptown
Gonna get the lowdown
Get gussied up cause
We’re goin’ to a hoedown
Gonna be a showdown
Never gonna slowdown
Dance ‘til the mornin’ light
You can eat a stack
Of sourdough flapjacks
Gallop all day on the bay
With a sway back
Get a big smack on the lips
In the haystack
Go to church and pray
(REPEAT CHORUS X 2)
