Folks are
dumb where I come from.
They ain't had any learning.
Still they're happy as can be.
Doing what comes naturally.
Doing what comes naturally.
Folks like us could never fuss
with schools and books and
learning.
Still we've gone from A to Z.
Doing what comes naturally.
Doing what comes naturally.
You don't have to know how
to read or write
When you're out with a fella
in the pale moonlight.
You don't have to look in
a book to find
What he thinks of the moon
and what is on his mind.
That comes naturally.
That comes naturally.
My uncle out in Texas
Can't even write his name.
He signs his checks with X's,
but they cash him just the same
If you saw my Pa and Ma,
you'd know they had no
learnin'
Still they've raised a family
doin' what comes naturally
Doin' what comes naturally
Uncle Jed has never read
an almanac on drinkin'
Still he's always on a spree,
doing what comes naturally
Doing what comes naturally
Sister Sal, whose musicale
has never had a lesson
Still she's learned to sing off key,
doing what comes naturally
Doing what comes naturally
You don't have to go to a private school
Not to pick up a penny
near a stubborn mule
You don't have to have a
professor's dome
Not to go for the honey
when the bee's at home
That comes naturally
That comes naturally
My tiny baby brother
Who's never read a book
Knows one sex from the other
All he had to do was look
Grandpa Bill lives on the hill
With someone he just married
There he is at ninety -three,
doing what comes naturally,
do ing what comes naturally.
