Gungy’s Bathtub



“Lizzard Crick” is in its prime,
‘Cuz it’s fish an’ swimmin’ time;
Water’s warm an’ banks are cool
Teasin’ boys away frum school.
Mother calls us in to scrub
In the big ol’ family tub,
But I point down to the stream
Where the waters dance an’ gleam,
Git my soap an’ towel quick
An' I leggit fur the crick.
Bathtub, kitchen? No sir-ee,
“Lizzard Crick’s” the tub fur me!
