Johnny Mercer
Lonesome Polecat
Bobby:
I'm a lonesome polecat
Lonesome, sad and blue
'cause I ain't got no
Feminine polecat
Vowin' to be true
Can't make no vow
To a herd of cows
Johnny:
I'm a mean old hound dog
Bayin' at the moon
'cause I ain't got no
Lady friend hound dog
Here to hear my tune
A man can't sleep
When he sleeps with sheep
Both:
I'm a little old hoot owl
Hootin' in the trees
'cause I ain't got no
Little gal owl fowl
Here to shoot the breeze
Can't shoot no breeze
With a bunch of trees
Why can't I lose
These lonesome polecat blues?
