Lyrics Van Dyke Parks

Van Dyke Parks

Hominy Grove

Off the wall wallflower

Now the dance has begun

It's our shining hour 'til all our dancin' is done

Mammy Whammy Jammy cookin' up on a stove

For me and my Buttercup

Things have been lookin' up in Hominy Grove.

Sweet Hominy!

You the wild wild flower

that my garden has grown

How I in your power

And you a rake on you own!

Hottentot Hot Toddy Cinnamon and a clove

For lovin' our lovin' cup

Things have been lookin' up

In HOMINY GROVE.

Sweet Hominy!

Inst. -

My whole heart's affection

Would I lay at your feet

Why one man's confection could be another man's sweet?

Weave in my direction When the web has been woven

Stick us together like

Birds of a feather.

Down in HOMINY GROVE.

Sweet Hominy!
