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!
