[Verse 1]
Got a knock-kneed mama down in Tennessee
She's short and squatty, she's alright with me
Don't you think I know, mama, don't you think I know?
Now knock-kneed mama, what you going to cook tonight?
Whatever you cook, just cook it right
Don't you think I know, mama, don't you think I know?
[Banjo Solo]
[Verse 2]
She got a face like a washboard, a mouth like a tub
Teach my mama that washboard rub
Don't you think I know, mama, don't you think I know?
Now some people say chitlins are good to eat
I'll never eat chitlins long as a hog got feet
Don't you think I know, mama, don't you think I know?
[Banjo solo]
[Verse 3]
Takes a long-tail monkey, short-tail dog
To do that dance they call "fallin' off a log"
Don't you think I know, mama, don't you think I know?
Now the monkey told the elephant, "You need not grunt
I know you're sore you got your tail in front"
Don't you think I know, mama, don't you think I know?
[Banjo Solo]
[Verse 4]
Now the monkey told the elephant, "You beat me drinkin' wine
You can't twist your tail like I twist mine"
Don't you think I know, mama, don't you think I know?
[Banjo Solo]
