Lyrics
4. Dear Mister Sears and Roebuck
In the part that shows the fancy garden tools
There’s a thing my garden lacks
Would the lady in the slacks
Cost as much as if I bought a team of mules?
Dear Mister Sears and Roebuck
Your cologne could not compete with my corral
But I’d buy the stuff in quarts
If I thought that you’d be sports
Would you send it to me sprinkled on a gal?
Don’t want your clothes
I’m a poor and lonely wretch
And I don’t go where folks put the ritz on
But send one of those with the double duty stretch
If you’ll throw in the gal that it fits on
Don’t mean to fuss, ol’ Roebuck
But you’ve kept me writin’ letters now for years
If I have to spend my life all alone without a wife
I’ll be real provoked at you and Mister Sears
