Life get teejus
Life gets Tee-jus, don't it?" -Carson Robison (and the Oxydol Pioneers) c. 1947 The sun comes up and the sun goes down, hands on the clock they just keep going around. I just get up and its time to lay down, Life gets tee-jus don't it? The tin roof leaks and the chimney leans, and there's a hole in the seat of my old blue jeans, and I've eaten the last of them pork 'n' beans, You just can't depend on nothin'. My shoes untied but I don't care, 'cause I ain't figuring on going nowhere; I'd just have to wash and comb my hair, and that's just wasted effort. The water in the well its getting lower and lower; can't take a bath for six month's or more, but I've heard it said and its true, I'm sure, that too much bathing'll weaken you. I open the door and the flies swarm in, shut the door and I'm sweating again, move too fast and I crack my shin; Just one darn thing after another. There's a mouse been chewing at the pantry door; He's been at it at least a month or more; when he gets through he sure going to be sore- 'Cause there ain't a darn thing in there. Old brown mule, he must be sick; I jabbed him in the rump with a pin on a stick. He humped his back but he wouldn't kick; there's something cockeyed somewhere. The cows gone dry and the hens won't lay, fish quit biting last Saturday, troubles pile up day by day; and now I'm getting dandruff. The old dog's howling all forlorn; Laziest dog that ever was born. He's howling 'cause he's sitting on a thorn, And just too tired to move over. Grief and misery, pains and woes, debts and taxes and so it goes; now I think I'm getting' a cold in the nose. Life gets tasteless, don't it? |

That was a bit teejus to read...  |
| According to hubby, the "singer" would sit on stage, pluck a banjo and speak these lines, that would be tee-jus.
Some verses are worth remembering, but I hope he doesn't memorize the whole dang thing!!!! Like you Ron, once is enough. s. |
| I remember hearing that song when I was a little kid! I think my folks must have had that record. It sure brought backsome memories! |
| Sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh................
I've had those days!!  |
| I remeber that song too. My Dad would sing little snipetts when we were working in the yard. |
| I've checked around a bit; seems this "song" is just the spoken word with a music background. Here's a video of it |
| Teejus!! Like watching a record spin |
| But I like how he zooms in at the end for dramatic effect! LOLOLOLOL |
