Life Gets Teejus, Don't It' - Tex Williams
The sun comes up and the sun goes down
The hands on the clock keep going around
I just wake up and it's time to lay down
Life gets tee-jus don't it
My shoe's untied I don't care
Cuz I reckon I ain't a-goin' nowhere
I'd brush my teeth and comb my hair
Just too much wasted effort
The water in the well gets lower and lower
Ain't had a bath in a month or more
I've heard it said and I'm sure it's true
That too much bathin'll weaken you
I open the door and the flies warming
Shut the door and I'm sweating again
I'm in the crosses and I crack machine just one darn thing after another
You know that old brown mule he must be sick
Jabbed him in the rump with a stick
He humped his back but he wouldn't kick
Something cockeyed somewhere
Mouse chauwing on the pantry door
He's been at it for a month or more
When he gets through he sure going to be sore
There ain't a dang thing in there
Hound dog's howlin' so forlorn
Laziest dawg that ever was born
He's howlin' 'cause he's sittin' on a thorn
Just too tired to move over
Roof's a-leakin' and the chimney leans
An' there's a hole in the seat of my old blue jeans
Now I've eat the last of the pork an' beans
Just can't depend on nothing
The cows gone dry and the hens won't lay
Fish quit biting last Saturday
Troubles pile up day by day
Now I'm getting dandriff
Grief and misery pains and woes debts and taxes and so it goes
Now it seems I'm getting a cold in the nose
Life gets tasteless don't it
