Doin' What Comes Natur'lly
Folks are dumb where I come from
They ain't had any learnin'
Still they're happy as can be
Doin' what comes naturally
Doin' what comes naturally
Folks like us could never fuss
With schools and books and learnin'
Still we've gone from A to Z
Doin' what comes naturally
Doin' what comes naturally
You don't have to know how to read or write
When you're out with a feller in the pale moonlight
You don't have to look in a book to find
What he thinks of the moon or what is on his mind
That comes naturally
That comes naturally
My uncle out in Texas
Can't even write his name
He signs his checks with X's
But they cash 'em just the same
If you saw my pa and ma
You'd no they had no learnin'
Still they raised a family
Doin' what comes naturally
Doin' what comes naturally
Uncle Jed has never read
An almanac on drinkin'
Still he's always on a spree
Doin' what comes naturally
Doin' what comes naturally
Sister Sal who's mus-i-cal
Has never had a lesson
Still she's learned to sing off-key
Doin' what comes naturally
Doin' what comes naturally
You don't have to go to a private school
Not to pick up a penny by 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 naturally
That comes naturally
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 is on the hill
With someone he just married
There he is at ninety-three
Doin' what comes naturally
Doin' what comes naturally
Sister Lou ain't got a sou
Although she goes out shoppin'
She gets all her stockings free
Doin' what comes naturally
Doin' what comes naturally
Cousin Nell can't add or spell
But she left school with honors
She got every known degree
For doin' what comes naturally
Doin' what comes naturally
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 Vanderbilt's
Not to take off your panties when you're wearing kilts
That comes naturally
That comes naturally
My mother's cousin Carrie
Won't ever change her name
She doesn't want to marry
And her children feel the same
Sister Rose has lots of beaus
Although we have no parlor
She does fine behind a tree
Doin' what comes naturally
Doin' what comes naturally
