Doin' What Comes Naturally

Folks are dumb where I come from
They ain't had any learning
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 learning
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 out
What he thinks of the moon and 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 them just the same.

If you saw my pa and ma
You'd know they had no learning
Still they've raised a family
Doin' what comes naturally.

Uncle Jack has never read
an almanac on drinking
Still he's always on the spree
Doin' what comes naturally
(doin' what comes naturally).

You don't have to go a private school
Not to pick up a penny near a stubborn mule
You don't have to have a professor's dome
Not to go for the honey when the bee's not 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).

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
Would never 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.
