We'd like to obtain, this will be our next record, this is about two cats that are sitting [B] down in Louisiana down by a river
and their names are Roosevelt [Eb] and Ira Lee
The river was dark and muddy and the moon was on the [Ebm] rise
and all of the creatures in the swamp land [Eb] and over the fields were the night
Roosevelt and Ira Lee were sitting there on a log
Ira Lee turned to Roosevelt and said, I'd so like to have a listen [A] to a frog
He [Eb] said, yeah, [Gb]
[Ab] sure it [Eb] tastes good
So he slipped on a rubber boot
and walked out to the water and said
And right away they knew that tonight would be a bummer
Cause Ira Lee stepped on a water mosquito head and he said
[Gb]
[Ab] Somebody [Eb] help me!
[Ab] [Eb]
Ira Lee turned to Roosevelt and he quit his screaming and kicking
And he said, let's forget about the buffalo [Ab] legs
[A] Go out and steal us some chickens, Roosevelt said
