lirik lagu the jolly rogers - twisting in the valley

[verse 1]
when i was just a boy of ten, me mother said to me:
be mindful of the ladies, and you’ll never be lonely
now poetry and flowers, i’m sure they’ll think are nice
but i’ll tell you the secret son, if you’ll heed my advice

women they are fickle things that often change their minds
there isn’t much that they all want, i’m sure that you will find
but i’ll give you a secret, boy, that i’ve never seen go wrong
try tongue twisting in the vallеy and you won’t be lonely long.”
[chorus]
twisting, oh, tongue twisting in thе valley!
if i can find a volunteer i’ll practice everyday!
twisting, oh, tongue twisting in the valley!
a cunning linguist i will be, at least that’s what they say!

[verse 2]
so i went out with mary, we went down beyond the trees
i asked if she would see my sk!lls, and all she said was “please!”
she said if i could pull this off that we should both be wed
so i went straight to the valley and that is what i said:
“i am not the pheasant plucker, i’m the pheasant plucker’s mate, i am only plucking pheasants ’cause the pheasant pluckers late.”

[chorus]
twisting, oh, tongue twisting in the valley!
if i can find a volunteer i’ll practice everyday!
twisting, oh, tongue twisting in the valley!
a cunning linguist i will be, at least that’s what they say!

[verse 3]
i met a girl named susie, we went walking by moonlight
and when i told her of my sk!lls, she smiled with delight
she said “i don’t believe you and it must be a lie!”
i told her i could prove it, she said “let’s give it a try!”
“one smart fellow, he felt smart. two smart fellows, they felt smart
three smart fellows, they all felt smart.”
[chorus]
twisting, oh, tongue twisting in the valley!
if i can find a volunteer i’ll practice everyday!
twisting, oh, tongue twisting in the valley!
a cunning linguist i will be, at least that’s what they say!

[verse 4]
one day when i went walking, i happened by mrs. jones
who said she’d heard of my sk!lls and was shocked i was alone
she said she’d give me her opinion, so i showed her then and there
alas i couldn’t hear her, she was gripping both my ears…
as i said:
“i’m not the fig plucker, nor the fig plucker’s son, but i’ll be plucking figs till the fig plucker comes.”

[verse 5]
while at the beach i saw a girl who smiled and waved to me
so i went to sit beside her, and we looked out to the sea
she asked if i would show my trick, and i thought this could be fun
and though i had barely started, she was already done…
when i said:
“how many sheets would a sheet slitter slit if a sheet slitter could slit sheets?”
[chorus]
twisting, oh, tongue twisting in the valley!
if i can find a volunteer i’ll practice everyday!
twisting, oh, tongue twisting in the valley!
a cunning linguist i will be, at least that’s what they say!

[verse 6]
now molly was a secret crush but she was very shy
i was surprised when she led me to the valley late one night
i said “i’ve got a special sk!ll that i can’t wait for you to see”
but she didn’t say a thing, she just smiled knowingly…
as i said:
“mrs. puggy wuggy has a square~cut punt, not a punt cut square, but a square cut punt.it’s round in the stern and blunt in the front
mrs. puggy wuggy has a square~cut punt

[verse 7]
she then smiled and said, “i guess then it’s my turn
to show off the special talent that i worked so hard to learn
for i know how to whistle, yes just purse your lips and blow
but i can do it from the high treetops down to the roots below.”
well i was so impressed by this i went down…to one knee
and she agreed right then there that she would marry me!
now we’re twisting and whistling and we are doing fine
from when the sun comes up at six till it goes down at nine!
