Can't You Read - Big Maceo[00:00:00]
Way back tale[00:00:08]
In nineteen hundred and ten[00:00:09]
The monkey and the baboon[00:00:11]
They came walkin' in[00:00:13]
The monkey told the baboon[00:00:15]
Let's shoot a game of pool[00:00:16]
The monkey could shoot[00:00:19]
But the baboon wadn't no fool[00:00:20]
Next thing came along[00:00:22]
Was a little mule[00:00:24]
He say 'you know I'm so mad[00:00:26]
I even can't wear no shoes[00:00:27]
Next thing came along[00:00:30]
There was Mr Cat[00:00:31]
We ain't gon' have no such a stuff[00:00:34]
Goin' on here like that[00:00:35]
Next thing came[00:00:37]
Was a little mouse[00:00:39]
Let's all get drunk[00:00:40]
And break up the doggone house[00:00:42]
Can't ya re-ead[00:00:44]
Now can't ya re-ead[00:00:48]
If ya keep on readin'[00:00:52]
I'm bound to put you wise[00:00:54]
Well the monkey and the elephant[00:01:00]
They went out for a little drive[00:01:01]
The elephant hit the monkey[00:01:04]
Right square in his eye[00:01:05]
The monkey looked up[00:01:07]
With a tear in his eye[00:01:09]
Said 'look a here big boy[00:01:11]
You oughta get someone yo' size[00:01:12]
One a these days[00:01:15]
I'm gonna climb yo' tree[00:01:16]
Remember big boy[00:01:19]
You got to march right under me[00:01:20]
When you march under me[00:01:23]
You better march careful and fast[00:01:24]
I get me limb and break it[00:01:26]
Cross yo'[00:01:28]
Now can't you re-ead[00:01:29]
Now can't you re-ead[00:01:33]
If you keep on readin'[00:01:37]
I'm bound to put you wise[00:01:40]
