Roosevelt And Ira Lee
Tony Joe White

This is about two cats

They're sitting down by a river in the swamps

They're sitting on a log

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 pondering on what they're gonna do for the night

And anything the big guy decides on 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 were sitting there on a log

Ira Lee turned to Roosevelt and said

I'd sure like to have a mess of bullfrog

He said yeah yeah lawd sure would taste good

So they slipped on their rubber boots

And walked down to the water edge

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

'Cause Ira Lee stepped on a water moccasin ugh ugh lawd

Somebody help me

Ira Lee turned to Roosevelt when he quit his screaming and kicking

And he said let's forget about those bullfrog legs

And go out and steal us some chickens

And Old Roosevelt said like this now

Yeah yeah ooh it sure would taste good

Yes it would I love my chicken

The river was dark and muddy

Yeah
