There's a baker up the river
Trying to buy some bread
And the farmer on his mountain
Keeping time in bed
Catch a rabbit at the station
Watch it count her toes
While the backhoe's in the garden
Only heaven knows
Bend your knees
Shoot your eyes
And hit on me
Cross your T's
Dot your I's
But stay in G
You know that Smiley flies his sister
Across the burning sands
Then Harvey leaves the world
In some old madman's hands
Peanut butter taken
Any other way
He's bound to keep the reefer
Busy every day
Bend your knees
Shoot your eyes
And hit on me
Cross your T's
Dot your I's
But stay in G
You know his father is the preacher
Who can cure the cold
He pours it from a bottle
Till it turns to mold
Then he holds it to the light
So he can see it shine
The number in the corner
Of the picture's mine
Bend your knees
Shoot your eyes
And hit on me
Cross your T's
Dot your I's
But stay in G
Oh keep your lawn in order
And you won't be checked
You can take another border
Till the grass is wet
Read it in the "Journal"
So you know it's true
The people at the corner
Look like me and you
Bend your knees
Shoot your eyes
And hit on me
Oh, cross your T's
Dot your I's
And stay in G
Cross your T's
Dot your I's
But stay in G
