This is as whimsical a bunch of verses as those in Old Joe Clark. Here they are: [Verse 1] Know a little girl, her name is Ramona Don't know nothin' that she ain't never gonna Let it eat Let it eat (Yeah) [Chorus] You don't need a dollar To stand up and holler Let it eat [Verse 2] Seen an addled chicken sittin' on a fence Got hit in the head and ain't got good sense Let it eat Let it eat (Yeah) [Chorus] Just a little somethin' When you can't think of nothin' Let it eat [Verse 3] Wish I was in Tennessee sittin' on a rail Jug full of whiskey and a possum by the tail Let it eat Let it eat (Yeah) [Chorus] You don't need a dollar To stand up and holler Lеt it eat [Verse 4] When you're at a party and you feel out of placе Turn to the person next to you and say right in his face Let it eat Let it eat (Yeah) [Chorus] Just a little somethin' When you can't think of nothin' Let it eat [Verse 5] Went to the river, couldn't get across Jumped on an alligator, thought it was a horse Let it eat Let it eat (Yeah) [Chorus] You don't need a dollar To stand up and holler Let it eat [Verse 6] I'd be down in Tennessee if only I could fix it Jug full of whiskey and a woman that'll mix it Let it eat Let it eat (Yeah) [Chorus] Just a little somethin' When you can't think of nothin' Let it eat [Outro] Let it eat, yeah (Yeah, yeah) Let it eat Let it eat, yeah Let it eat Let it eat
Not comprehensive with only 16 tracks, SAM THE SHAM AND THE PHAROAHS the best of is a decent collection. Includes the two Little Red Riding Hoods and their B sides.
It's from an indispensable album, THE SAM THE SHAM REVUE. Great songs on it like "I'm Not a Lover Anymore" and "The Cockfight". A favorite of my youth.
1967 was certainly an Acid year, but Sam the Sham was so far removed from 'Frisco and the LSD crowd. Their songs, like "The Hair on My Chinny Chin Chin" and "Wooly Bully" were aimed at kids. "Let It Eat" is the best cut on THE SAM THE SHAM REVUE album, also called "Nefertiti".
This is as whimsical a bunch of verses as those in Old Joe Clark. Here they are:
[Verse 1]
Know a little girl, her name is Ramona
Don't know nothin' that she ain't never gonna
Let it eat
Let it eat (Yeah)
[Chorus]
You don't need a dollar
To stand up and holler
Let it eat
[Verse 2]
Seen an addled chicken sittin' on a fence
Got hit in the head and ain't got good sense
Let it eat
Let it eat (Yeah)
[Chorus]
Just a little somethin'
When you can't think of nothin'
Let it eat
[Verse 3]
Wish I was in Tennessee sittin' on a rail
Jug full of whiskey and a possum by the tail
Let it eat
Let it eat (Yeah)
[Chorus]
You don't need a dollar
To stand up and holler
Lеt it eat
[Verse 4]
When you're at a party and you feel out of placе
Turn to the person next to you and say right in his face
Let it eat
Let it eat (Yeah)
[Chorus]
Just a little somethin'
When you can't think of nothin'
Let it eat
[Verse 5]
Went to the river, couldn't get across
Jumped on an alligator, thought it was a horse
Let it eat
Let it eat (Yeah)
[Chorus]
You don't need a dollar
To stand up and holler
Let it eat
[Verse 6]
I'd be down in Tennessee if only I could fix it
Jug full of whiskey and a woman that'll mix it
Let it eat
Let it eat (Yeah)
[Chorus]
Just a little somethin'
When you can't think of nothin'
Let it eat
[Outro]
Let it eat, yeah
(Yeah, yeah) Let it eat
Let it eat, yeah
Let it eat
Let it eat
Good job!
Great covers on their singles & albums ! Wooly Bully is a classic & this certainly is top quality. Need to get a compilation.
