Of all the animals in this world,
The monkey's tail, it am the longest.
Of all the socks in this world,
My pappy's socks, they am the strongest.
Dem socks dat my pappy wore!
Lord, lord, dem socks dat my pappy
wore!
Lord, he hung 'em on the fence,
And the sun ain't shined there
since.
On dem socks, mama, that my pappy
wore!
Lord, lord, dem socks dat my pappy
wore!
Lord, lord, dem socks dat my pappy
wore!
Lord, he put 'em up on the shelf,
They was so strong they got up
and walked off by theyself!
Lord, dem socks, mama, that my
pappy wore!
Lord, lord, lord, dem socks! Socks
that my pappy wore!
Lord, dem socks dat my pappy wore!
Lord, he throwed 'em in a circus
ring,
And all the animals started to
shakin' that thing!
From dem socks, mama, dat my pappy
wore!
Lord, lord, lord, socks! Socks that
my pappy wore!
Oh, dem socks that my pappy wore!
Lord, he throwed 'em in the zoo,
You ought-a seen them animals,
the way they flew!
From dem socks, mama, dat my pappy
wore!
Lord, lord, dem socks! Socks that
my pappy wore!
Oh, dem socks that my pappy wore!
Lord, he put 'em in the tub,
And the washboard, it refused to
rub,
On dem socks, mama, dat my pappy
wore!
