Folks are dumb where I come from
They ain't had any learnin'
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 learnin'
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
What he thinks of the moon or 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 'em just the same
Uncle Ben got angry when
They caught him stealing chickens
I'm within my rights says he
Doin what comes naturally
Doin what comes naturally
Cousin Jack insured his shack
And now he plays with matches.
He'll collect just wait and see
Doin what comes naturally.
Doin what comes naturally
Sister Sal whose music-ale
Ain't never had a lesson
Still she's learned to sing off key
Doin what comes naturally.
Doin what comes naturally.
You don't have to go to a private school
Not to turn up your bustle to a stubborn mule
You don't have to have a professor's dome
Not to go for the honey when the bee's at home
That comes naturally
That comes naturally
My uncle don't pay taxes
His address never gives
They can't collect his taxes
For they don't know where he lives.
Grandpa Dick was always sick,
But never saw a doctor.
He just died at 93,
Doin what comes naturally
Doin what comes naturally
