THE COMMON, BROKE ELASTIC, ROTTEN COTTON, HOUND DOG SNOOPIN',
ANKLE DROOPIN', FUNKY, FUZZY, WHITE SOCK BLUES No.2
Dallas Frazier - 1971
It was the common, broke elastic,
Rotten cotton, hound snoopin',
ankle droopin' funky fuzzy,
white Sock blues number two number two.
A band called Raunchy from Kansas City,
Managed by a San Francisco hippie
Was gettin' stoned in San Antone,
When they hired them a guitar man, named Frog Leg Jones
From starvin' situations
and bathtub deprivation,
Came the inspiration for the worldwide smash
That Frog Leg Jones composed
It was the common, broke elastic,
Rotten cotton, hound snoopin',
ankle droopin' funky fuzzy,
white Sock blues number two number two.
Now Frog Leg's wallet has got so fat
He wears a custom made brace for his sacroiliac
Frog Leg ain't no phony, the public knows it's true
That pork and beans and vagrancy
taught him how to stretch them things
And sing the common, broke elastic,
Rotten cotton, hound snoopin',
ankle droopin' funky fuzzy,
white Sock blues number two
Number two.
(Repeat chorus)
