Folks are dumb where
I come from
They ain't had any learnin'
Still they're happy as can be
Doin' what comes natur'lly
Doin' what comes natur'lly
Folks like us could never bust
with books and schools
and learnin'
StiII we've gone from A to Z
Doin' what comes natur'lly
Doin' what comes natur'lly
You don't have to know
how to read or write
when you're out with a fella
in the pale moonlight
You don't have to look
in a book to find
what he thinks of the moon
and what is on his mind
That comes natur'lly
That comes natur'lly
My uncle out in Texas
Can't even write his name
He signs his checks with X's
But they cash them
just the same
If you saw my pa and ma you'd
know they had no learnin'
Still they raised a family
Doin' what comes natur'lly
Doin' what comes natur'lly
Uncle Jed has never read an
almanac on drinkin'
Still he's always on a spree
Doin' what comes natur'lly
Doin' what comes natur'lly
Sister Sal whose musicale has
never had a lesson
Still she's learned to
sing off-key
Doin' what comes natur'lly
Doin' what comes natur'lly
You don't have to go
to a private school
Not to pick up a penny
near a stubborn mule
You don't have to have
a professor's dome
Not to go for the honey
when the bee's at home
That comes natur'lly
That comes natur'lly
My tiny baby brother
who's never read a book
Knows one sex from the other
All he had to do was look
Grandpa Bill lives on the hill
with someone he just married
There he is at ninty-three
Doin' what comes natur'lly
Doin' what comes natur'lly
Sister Lou ain't got a sou
altho' she goes out shopping
She get all her stockings free
Doin' what comes natur'lly
Doin' what comes natur'lly
Cousin Nell can't add or spell
But she left school with honors
She got every known degree
for doin' what comes natur'lly
For doin' what comes natur'lly
You don't have to come
from a great big town
Not to clean out a stable
in an evening gown
You don't have to mix
with the Vanderbilts
Not to take off your panties
when you're wearing kilts
That comes natur'lly
That comes natur'lly
My mother's cousin Carrie
would never change her name
She doesn't want to marry
And her children feel the same
Sister Rose has lots of beaus
altho' we have no parlor
She does fine behind a tree
Doin' what comes natur'lly
Doin' what comes natur'lly
