I m a real down home hillbilly Walkin' round and actin' silly When Dizzy plays his horn I blow my top I don't dig no other music, country - rock or pop I plant beans and I plant taters I plant corn and some tommaters When Yard Bird plays his horn I just can't stop I may be from the country but I dig bebop
I may be a country snip My manner is not too hip But jazz takes me on a trip That's the way it is I love Bird and Diz I am not a city slicker Smokin' pot and drinkin' liquor At being hip I guess I'm just a flop I may be from the country but I dig bebop
