Roosevelt And Ira Lee - Tony Joe White[00:00:00]

This is about two cats[00:00:02]

They're sittin' down by a river in the swamps[00:00:05]

They're sittin' down on the logs[00:00:08]

One of them is kind of a big fellow[00:00:10]

And the other one is a little bit smaller[00:00:11]

And he's got a long billed cap[00:00:13]

And they're sittin' there ponderin'[00:00:16]

On what they're gonna do for the night[00:00:17]

And anything the big guy decides[00:00:19]

On the little guy's for[00:00:22]

'Cause he digs him he's cool[00:00:23]

So it's called roosevelt and ira lee[00:00:25]

The river was dark and muddy[00:00:36]

And the moon was on the rise[00:00:39]

And all of the creatures in the swampland[00:00:43]

Had woke up to feed for the night[00:00:47]

Roosevelt and ira lee huh were sittin' there on a log[00:00:51]

Ira lee turned to roosevelt and said[00:00:58]

I'd sure like to have a mess of bull frog[00:01:02]

He said yeah yeah lawd sure would taste good[00:01:05]

So they slipped on their rubber boots[00:01:20]

And walked down to the water's edge[00:01:25]

And right away they knew[00:01:28]

That the night would be a bummer[00:01:30]

'Cause ira lee stepped[00:01:32]

On a water mossacin[00:01:34]

He said uh uh lawd[00:01:35]

Somebody help me[00:01:43]

Ira lee turned to roosevelt[00:02:10]

When he quit his screamin' and kickin'[00:02:14]

And he said let's forget about the bullfrog legs[00:02:17]

And go out and steal us some chickens[00:02:21]

And ol' roosevelt said like this now[00:02:24]

Yeah yeah ooh it sure would taste good[00:02:26]

Yes it would i love a chicken[00:02:34]

Oh the river was dark and muddy[00:02:40]
