Since I grew up listening to old country via my mother, I was exposed to some really goofy stuff in the 70s. So, for y’all’s perusal, I offer… \*Dr. Demento’s [Telephone Man](http://www.lyricshosting.com/artists/04/dr_demento/telephone_man.html) \*Tom T. Hall’s [Sneaky Snake](http://www.utterlyrics.com/t/tom-t-hall/lyrics/sneaky-snake.html) \*Donna Fargo’s [Superman](http://www.songlyricscollection.com/d/donna-fargo/my-second-album/superman%20lyrics.htm) (scroll to the bottom) …to just name a few. :o What have you all got to share that’ll make anyone giggle? ---

Ray Stevens was the first name that came to my mind – here’s [_I Saw Elvis In A UFO_,](http://www.leoslyrics.com/listlyrics.php;jsessionid=219203A23E67EF593B9CBBA0BBB9CEF4?hid=gJ%2BEtx8LHE0%3D) on a page with plenty of links to other lyrics. And here is Bobby Bare’s classic, [_Drop Kick Me Jesus Through The Goalposts Of Life_](http://bertc.com/dropkick.htm). ---

Lots of good ( ? ) Roger Miller songs, but I’d like to nominate [You Can’t Rollerskate in a Buffalo Herd](http://www.kiwilyrics.com/lyrics_r/roger_miller_songs/you_cant_roller_skate_in_a_buffalo_herd_song.html) to the list. And although Loretta Lynn’s [The Pill](http://www.musicsonglyrics.com/L/lorettalynnlyrics/lorettalynnthepilllyrics.htm) has an excellent message behind it, the execution is one of adorable naivete and cringe-worthy cutesy (nursery hill!) imagery. Surely us three aren’t the only ones who were ever subjected to all this. Speak up and be proud, pardners! 😃 ---

Don’t know if this is what you’re looking for, but my favorite goofy/snappy lyrics are: Could ya would ya aint ya gonna If I asked ya would ya wanna be my baby tonight? ---
