Lyrics
THE PAPER BOY
V.1) WHEN I WAS YOUNG AND STILL IN SCHOOL
AND CREWCUTS WERE THE FAD
I GOT MYSELF A PAPER ROUTE, FIRST JOB I EVER HAD
I SAVED AND BOUGHT A BIG RED BIKE
FROM THE WESTERN AUTO STORE
AND WHEN THAT SCHOOL BELL RANG FOR GOOD
I WAS RUNNIN' OUT THE DOOR
V.2) IN CUT OFF SHORTS AND ONE SKIN'T KNEE
I'D PEDAL AS I THREW
THOSE LITTLE GRIT NEWSPAPERS, ALL ALONG THE AVENUE
THOSE OTHER BOYS COULD WHISTLE
AS THEY TOSSED THEM ON THE LAWN
BUT, I NEVER COULD, QUITE WHISTLE GOOD
SO, I SANG THIS YODELING SONG.
C.) YODELING
V.3) WELL NATURALLY IT CAUSED A STIR
EACH TIME WHEN I'D DO THIS
AND FIGHTIN' OFF THE JOHNSON'S DOG
IS SOMETHING I DON'T MISS
WELL EVERY NOW AND THEN SOMEONE
WOULD SAY, "HEY BOY, DON'T QUIT,
'CAUSE THAT LITTLE YODELING SONG YOU SING
WILL SOMEDAY BE A HIT!"
V.4) NOW SINCE THE YEARS HAVE COME AND GONE
I WONDER IF THEY MISS AT ALL
THAT LITTLE YODELING PAPER BOY
WHOSE NAME THEY CAN'T RECALL
AND TO THIS DAY I NEVER DREAMED
WHAT THEY SAID WOULD COME TRUE
WHEN FOLKS WOULD COME FROM MILES AROUND
TO HEAR ME YOD-EL-LAY-DEE-HOOOOO!!!!
C.) REPEAT YODELING, FASTER VERSION, END.
