Lack of Education Lyrics – Pearl Bailey

Lack of Education Text

---

Big Mama
You listen good to I, because it's either education or elimination!
Now, if you're so foxy and old Chief is so dumb
Then why does that hound get the fox on the run?
'Cause he's got the hunter -
And the hunter's got the gun
Ka-blam, elimination!
Lack of education!

If you pal around with that Copper hound
You'll wind up hangin' on the wall
Keep you nose to the wind
And you'll keep your skin
'Cause you won't be home
When the hunter comes to call

Tod
Oh, Big Mama, I know Copper would never track me down
Well, Copper, he's my best friend

Big Mama
Ho ho, your best friend!
Now, Copper's gonna do what he's been told.
Suppose he's chasin' an old fox in an old fox hole
And along comes the hunter with a buck shot load

Boomer
Ka-ka-blam!

Big Mama
Elimination

Dinky
Lack of education!

Big Mama
You better believe it, Tod!
