I had a mule, his name was Jack
And when I climbed upon his back
He damn near died of a heart attack

Sing in the spring, sing in the fall
Sing when I hear my baby bawl
Sing all day, all night too
If you hush your cryin', I'll sing for you

I had a canary, all yeller and green
I had a canary, all yeller and green
The stupidest bird you've ever seen
But it could swear like a big Marine

Sing in the spring, sing in the fall
Sing when I hear my baby bawl
Sing all day, all night too
If you hush your cryin', I'll sing for you

I had a horse, his name was Tex
I had a horse, his name was Tex
He signed his name with an "X"
And made his livin' forgin' checks

Sing in the spring, sing in the fall
Sing when I hear my baby bawl
Sing all day, all night too
If you hush your cryin', I'll sing for you
Had a little lamb I used to keep
A little bitty lamb I used to keep
When I'd tell him to go to sleep
He's count people instead of sheep

Sing in the spring, sing in the fall
Sing when I hear my baby bawl
Sing all day, all night too
If you hush your cryin', I'll sing for you

Then I got a tall giraffe
Then I got a tall giraffe
He liked to sing, and he liked to laugh
He lived on beer and bubble bath

Sing in the spring, sing in the fall
Sing when I hear my baby bawl
Sing all day, all night too
If you hush your cryin', I'll sing for you

I had everything, short and tall
Done had everything, short and tall
Round and fat, big or small
I guess my baby's the best of all

Sing in the spring, sing in the fall
Sing when I hear my baby bawl
Sing all day, all night too
If you hush your cryin', I'll sing for you
