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

Oh, 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 and 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

Cousin Ben got angry when they caught him stealin' chickens
"I'm within my rights," said he, doin' what comes naturally
Doin' what comes naturally

Uncle Jed has never read an almanac on drinkin'
Still, he's always on a spree, doin' what comes naturally
Doin' what comes naturally
Sister Sal whose musical has never had a lesson
Still, she's learned to sing off-key, doin' what comes naturally
Doin' what comes naturally

No, you don't have to go a private school
Not to turn up your bustle to a stubborn mule
You don't have to come from a great big town
Not to clean out a stable in an evening gown
That comes naturally
That comes naturally

My uncle don't pay taxes, his address never gives
They can't collect his taxes 'cause they don't know where he lives

Grandpa Dick was always sick, but never saw a doctor
He just died at ninety-three, doin' what comes naturally
Doin' what comes naturally

Doin' what comes naturally
