Neely

Neely was a baby with a great big head
Born to a daddy who was 5 months dead
To keep from being lonely they put a chicken in his bed
Neely was a baby with a great big head

Neely grew so quickly that his pants were always torn
He nearly reached the ceiling to his poor momma’s scorn
The food that he was stealing cleared a whole field of corn
Neely grew so quickly that his pants were always torn

Neely worked a job turning boulders into stone
We knew that he was sad because he always worked alone
At night he was so tired cause they worked him to the bone
Neely had a job turning boulders into stone

Neely found a wife but she was stubborn as a mule
Everyone in town thought she musta been a fool
Till they watched her spend his money, then they thought that she was cruel
Neely found a wife oh she was stubborn as a mule

Neely winked a lot because he had one eye
Especially when he gazed upon the great big sky
He jumped across the buildings cause he thought that he could fly
One day he landed on the pavement like a great big pie
Neely landed on the pavement like a great big pie

Neely was deeeeeeead
