No Swallerin’ Place
[Verse 1]
I got a song, it's a pretty good song
Only one thing wrong with the pretty good song
'Cause the pretty good song goes along
And along and along and along and along
And along and along and along and along
'Til it gets me red in the face
'Cause it ain't got no swallerin' place
[Bridge]
I can finish a sack of Cracker Jacks
In fifteen seconds flat
And still keep conversation runnin' fair
I can kiss my darlin' sweetheart
And hold it half an hour
And I ain't half dead when I come up for air
[Verse 2]
But durn this song, it's a pretty good song
Only one thing wrong with the pretty good song
'Cause the pretty good song goes along
And along and along and along and along
And along and along and along and along and along
Like a doggone marathon race
'Cause it ain't got no swallerin' place
[Piano Solo]
[Verse 3]
Here's that tune, it's a pretty good tune
But I just ain't built like a rubber balloon
It's a pretty good tune and I croon
And I croon and I croon and I croon and I croon
And I croon and I croon and I croon and I croon
And I can't keep up with the pace
'Cause it ain't got no swallerin' place
[Bridge]
Now I can finish a sack of Cracker Jacks
In fifteen seconds flat
And still keep conversation runnin' fair
When I kiss my lovin' sweetheart
I can hold it half an hour
And I ain't half dead when I come up for air
[Verse 2]
But durn this song, it's a pretty good song
Only one thing wrong with the pretty good song
'Cause the pretty good song goes along
And along and along and along and along
And along and along and along and along
Like a doggone marathon race
'Cause it ain't got no swallerin' place
