Roosevelt And Ira Lee

This is about two cats

They're sittin' down by a river in the swamps

They're sittin' down on the logs

One of them is kind of a big fellow

And the other one is a little bit smaller

And he's got a long billed cap

And they're sittin' there ponderin'

On what they're gonna do for the night

And anything the big guy decides

On the little guy's for'

Cause he digs him, he's cool

So it's called

Roosevelt and

Ira LeeThe river was dark and muddy

And the moon was on the rise

And all of the creatures in the swampland

Had woke up to feed for the night

Roosevelt and

Ira Lee, huh, were sittin' there on a log

Ira Lee turned to

Roosevelt and said

I'd sure like to have a mess of bull frog

He said, yeah, yeah, lawd, sure would taste good

So they slipped on their rubber boots

And walked down to the water's edge

And right away they knew

That the night would be a bummer'

Cause Ira

Lee stepped

On a water mossacin

He said, uh, uh, lawd

Somebody help me

Ira Lee turned to

RooseveltWhen he quit his screamin' and kickin'

And he said, let's forget about the bullfrog legs

And go out and steal us some chickens

And Ol' Roosevelt said like this now

Yeah, yeah, ooh, it sure would taste good

Yes it would,

I love a chicken

Oh, the river was dark and muddy, yeah
