Grab a fence post, hold it tight, Womp your partner with all your might. Hit him in the chin, hit him in the head, Hit him again, that critter ain’t dead. Womp him low and womp him high, Stick your finger in his eye. Pretty little rhythm, pretty little sound, Bang your heads against the ground. –Hillbilly Hare Hoedown ---
