Stony Ground Songtext / Lyric

Old Man Morris got it bad last week

Fell for the widow from across the street

She clipped him in the ear, she told him what's what

But he couldn't keep his mind off her honey pot



Silly old man with his teeth all gone

Poking his nose where it don't belong

She's a rose all right but she's got thorns

Working on stony ground



Lost his heart to Buxom Betty

Throwing out the compliments like confetti

Left and right, he threw them all around

But everything was landed on stony ground



Silly old man with his teeth all gone

Poking his nose where it don't belong

She's a rose all right but she's got thorns

Working on stony ground






Widow's got a brother, henchman too

A pair of gorillas from the London Zoo

They call on Morris and they tell him what's what

But he can't keep his mind off her honey pot



Silly old man with his teeth all gone

Poking his nose where it don't belong

She's a rose all right but she's got thorns

Working on stony ground



Kicked him in the head, poked him in the eyes

Shoved him in the gutter and there he lies

Dripping with blood, dripping with snot

But he's still dreaming of her you-know-what



Silly old man with his teeth all gone

Poking his nose where it don't belong

She's a rose all right but she's got thorns

Working on stony ground

Working on stony ground
