Doin’ What Comes Naturally

[ANNIE]
Folks are dumb where I come from
They ain't had any learnin'
Still they're happy as can be

Doin' what comes naturally

[CHILDREN]
Doin' what comes naturally

[ANNIE]
Folks like us could never fuss
With schools and books and learnin'
Still we've gone from A to Z

Doin' what comes naturally

[CHILDREN]

[ANNIE]
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 or what is on his mind

That comes naturally

[CHILDREN]
That comes naturally

[ANNIE]
My uncle out in Texas
Can't even write his name
He signs his checks with X's
But thеy cash 'em just the same

If you saw my pa and ma
You'd no thеy had no learnin'
Still they raised a family

Doin' what comes naturally

[CHILDREN]
Doin' what comes naturally

[ANNIE]
Uncle Jed has never read
An almanac on drinkin'
Still he's always on a spree

Doin' what comes naturally

[CHILDREN]

Sister Sal who's mus-i-cal
Has never had a lesson
Still she's learned to sing off-key

Doin' what comes naturally

[CHILDREN]
Doin' what comes naturally

[ANNIE]
You don't have to go to a private school
Not to pick up a penny near a stubborn mule
You don't have to have a professor's dome
Not to go for the honey when the bee's at home

That comes naturally

[CHILDREN]
That comes naturally

[ANNIE]
My tiny baby brother
Who's never read a book
Knows one sex from the other
All he had to do was look

Grandpa Bill lives on the hill
With someone he just married
There he is at ninety-three

Doin' what comes naturally
