I'm A People

I'm A People

(album: Famous Country Duets - 1965)

There I was on the marquee, a-working for a living,
I've been getting instead of a-giving.
A-hanging by my tail, a-waiting for the dinner bell,
Putting humans off.

Every day, them fools rush in,
And lay down my cage and watch them grin
I put 'em all off, I'd hum a little song,
An' watch 'em all go tee-hee.

But I spell a P, a little bitty E.
Sweet bop, bop, bop, sh-shoo, shoobie doobie doh,
In a little round O.
Now you add another P, a big skinny L,
There's a-one more E,
An' you got a people that looks like me.

Now a monkey don't have to go down town,
An' ask for a job an' getting turned down.
I'm mad at me, I could smash me,
'Cause I am a people.

Now, a monkey don't have to shoot an' speak,
All he do is drink his fees.
Oh, me, what luxury.
But I'm a people.

Now I spell a P, a little bitty E.
Sweet bop, bop, bop, a-shoo, shoobie doobie doh,
In a little round O.
Now you add another P, a big skinny L,
There's a-one more E,
An' you got a creature that looks like me.

Now if anyone knocked on my door today,
There'd be a little sign says: "Gone away.
"Down to the zoo, digging you know who,
'Cause I'm a people.

Now I spell a P, a little bitty E.
Sweet bop, bop, bop, sh-shoo, shoobie doobie doh,
In a little round O.
Now you add another P, a big skinny L,
There's a-one more E,
An' you got a creature that looks like me...
