Tony Joe White - Roosevelt And Ira Lee lyrics
Your rating:
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 were sitting 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, sure it taste good" So they slipped on their rubber boots And walked down to the water edge And right away they knew that the night would be a bummer 'Cause Ira Lee stepped on a water mossacin He said: "Ugh! Ugh! Somebody help me!" Ira Lee turned to Roosevelt when he quit his screaming and kicking And he said, "Let's forget about those bullfrog legs And go out and steal us some chickens" Ol' Roosevelt said, "Yeah, yeah, baby, it sure would taste good" Ira Lee turned to Roosevelt when he quit his screaming and kicking And he said, "Let's forget about those bullfrog legs And go out and steal us some chickens" Ol' Roosevelt said, "Yeah, yeah, baby, it sure would taste good" Oh, the river was dark and muddy
