Roosevelt and Ira Lee (Night of the Mossacin)

Ah, This is about two cats

They're sittin' down by a river in the swamps

They're sittin' there on the logs

One of them is kind of a big fellow

And the other one is a little bit smaller

And he's got a long billed cap

And they're sitting there ponderin'

On what they're gonna do for the night

And anything the big guy decides

The little guy's for 'cause he digs him, he's cool

So it's called Roosevelt and Ira Lee

The river was dark and muddy

And the moon was on the rise

And all of the creatures in the swampland

Had woke up to feed for the night

Roosevelt and Ira Lee, huh

Were sittin' there on a log

Ira Lee turned to Roosevelt

And said I'd sure like to have a mess of bull frog

He said, yeah, yeah

Lord sure would taste good

So they slipped on their rubber boots

And walked down to the water's edge

And right away they knew that the night would be a bummer

'Cause Ira Lee stepped on a water moccasin

He said, uh, uh Lord

Somebody help me

Ira Lee turned to Roosevelt

When he quit his screaming and kicking

And he said, let's forget about the bullfrog legs

And go out and steal us some chickens

And Roosevelt said like this now

Yeah, yeah

Oh, it sure would taste good

Yes it would, I love chicken

Oh, the river was dark and muddy

Yeah
