She said "So long, country bumpkins
The raptured wonder from the woman's face
Where'd ya come from, country bumpkin?"
Of her husband and her son
I've seen some sights but, man, you're somethin'
As she marveled at the soft and warm and cuddly boy child

"I'll just have a glass of anything that's cool"
She was lying on her deathbed, knowing fully well her race was nearly run
The heavy hand of time had not erased
That country bumpkin found his way to town"
In a raptured look of love and tenderness
Fresh as frost out on the pumpkin

How's the frost out on the pumpkin?

And she said "Hello, country bumpkin
Frost is gone now from on the pumpkin
Mamma loves her country bumpkin"
And she said "So long, country bumpkin
And she thought "I wonder how on earth
