I Wan'o Go Back to West Virginia(HOME OF THE MOTHMAN).
With thanks and apologies to Spike Jones and His City Slickers, most especially Doodles Weaver for this original 1940s/'50s clip about the front half is lyin' and the back half is draggin' (!) from the classic April Showers... There are other versions but this one has the new animal at the zoo, half lion, half dragon.
When April showers,
She never closes the curtain!...
We are poor little lambs who have lost our way
(barks like a seal)
Sorry,
Wrong animal.
Speaking of animals,
They have a new animal at the zoo...
Half lion, half dragon?
The front half is lyin' and the back half is draggin'!
...
So keep on looking for that bluebird
And listening for his song...
I wrote a song once.
It went:
Rub-a-dub-dub
Three men in a tub,
How unsanitary!

I WANT TO GO BACK
TO WEST VIRGINIA.
I WANT TO GO BACK
TO THE ONE I LOVE,
WHERE THE SKIES ARE BLUE
AND THE BIRDS SING TOO.
TAKE ME BACK TO WEST VIRGINIA.
THEY TOOK ME AWAY
FROM WEST VIRGINIA.
THEY TOOK ME AWAY
FROM MY HOME SWEET HOME,
WHERE THE FRIENDS I KNEW
WERE SO KIND AND TRUE.
TAKE ME BACK TO WEST VIRGINIA
WHERE THE FIELDS ARE FILLED WITH CLOVER
AND THE MOUNTAINS REACH THE SKY,
WHERE THE FLOWERS BLOOM ALL OVER,
'TIL THEY MAKE YOU WANT TO CRY.
I WANT TO GO BACK
TO WEST VIRGINIA.
I WANT TO GO BACK
TO THE ONE I LOVE,
WHEN THE WORLD IS FREE,
THAT'S THE PLACE FOR ME.
TAKE ME BACK TO WEST VIRGINIA.
