[Chorus 1]

Watching Hank's (watching Hank's) little fingers
We're watching Hank's (watching Hank's)
Watching Hank's (watching Hank's) little fingers
[Verse 2]
Swimming river flow
Rifle, bullet, arrow and bow
Plaster, paint, and tile
Lepus, canine, cat, and reptile
[Chorus 2]
Unless you got the answers

Unless you got the answers
Don't patronize the mountain men, oh
[Chorus 1]
We're watching Hank's (watching Hank's)
Watching Hank's (watching Hank's) little fingers
We're watching Hank's (watching Hank's)
Watching Hank's (watching Hank's) little fingers
[Chorus 2]
Unless you got the answers
Don't patronize the mountain men, oh
Unless you got the answers
Don't patronize the mountain men, oh
[Chorus 1]
We're watching Hank's (watching Hank's)
Watching Hank's (watching Hank's) little fingers
We're watching Hank's (watching Hank's)
Watching Hank's (watching Hank's) little fingers
[Chorus 2]
Unless you got the answers
Don't patronize the mountain men, oh
Unless you got the answers
