Why Don't It Look Like the Way That It Talk

Little Marcellus

Won't ya please come and tell us

What ya think ya doin'

Hanging out behind that

Chicken wire trellis

Dressed up like some city dandy

Looking just as sweet as store bought candy

Gonna tell yo mama Stella

Who ya waiting for

Behind that

Chicken wire trellis

Why don't it look like the way that it talk

I is e and e is a

Why don't it do like the way that it be

Z to a and a to z

Sister Ophelia..

Just wait till they see ya

Trimming on that bougainvillea

Cause the spines at times

Keep the boys in line

They don't really know you

They just want to show you and throw you a line

And a dime for your time

They ain't worth no nevermind

Why don't it look like the way that it talk

I is e and e is a

Why don't it do like the way that it be

Z to a and a to z

Listen to the hound dogs

Singing in the night

Tree that fox, let her go

Whooooo ohh

It's the song of the south that everybody knows

That boy is trippin, sippin'

Sweet honey drippin' from the hive

Its good to be alive, so good to be alive

Why don't it look like the way that it talk

I is e and e is a

Why don't it do like the way that it be

Z to a and a to z
