A Bushie Baby Prayer
To be sung with Al Jolson to the tune
"There's A Rainbow 'Round My Shoulder"

Does what I don't know astound them,
All those things I've not heard of,
So they think I might
Not be that bright,
Or miiss something I might love?

Will I ever dare to show them
That what fits me like a glove
I learned on a beach
From a Southern peach
And not from someone above?

All those questions I get ev'rywhere
That are followed by embarrassing dead air
Indicate your Bushie Baby
Had better say a prayer

That the weight upon my shoulders
Is not the former love
I had for grass
And the cocktail glass
That they thought I'd got rid of.
