This Time of the Year
What's going on, sonny?
Spread the word, Henry
Scat!
Quiet, everybody
Auction gonna start now
You can't run this auction without Susan Mahoney
It's her property
Her and her brother Woody's
You're nothing but a stooge for Senator Rawkins!
He's aiming to buy up this whole valley
And when Rawkins wants a valley
Lord, get out of his way
You say it, doc!
There's Susan!
She wants to tell us something!
(What's she say, Henry?)
She says Woody's comin'
And he's bringing the money!
Woody's comin'
Woody's comin'
Woody's comin'
Woody's comin'
Woody's comin' (Quiet!)
Woody's comin'
(All of ya!) Woody's comin'
Woody's comin' (Quiet)
Woody's comin' (Tax sale gonna start now)
Woody's comin'
Woody's comin'
Woody's comin' (It is my duty to protect the citizens of Rainbow County)
Woody's comin'
Who from?
The citizens!
We can't be bothered with the mortgage man
This time of the year
(You'll be sorry! Interfering with the law!)
For spring don't care about a mortgage man
This time of the year
(I'm giving you the last chance to get back your land)
The dandelions in the dusky dell
Don't give a hoot in hell
They gonna smell with our collateral
This time of the year
This time!
This time of the year
Sweet mary buds and elderberry buds
Don't give a good ding-ding-dang
Corn's shootin' up
Fruit trees are fruitin' up
Go tell Rawkins to go hang hang
Don't mess around here
This time of the year
You'll get it in the rear
This time of the year
Magnolias are sentimental
Persimmons are queer
Snapdragons won't pay no rental
This time of the year
Red cabbage and sweet potatoes
Don't easily sceere
They'll sprout without real-estaters
This time of the year
What's she sayin'?
The choo-choo's comin' and it's mighty clear
Woody's here!
He's up there ridin' with the engineer
Yes, Woody's here
Just look at that choo-choo comin'
Let's give it a mighty cheer
Just look at that engine hummin'
Dang blast it all, Woody's here
Woody's here
Woody's here
Get load of that whistle blowin'
That whistle is good to hear
It's wanting you to be knowin'
Dang blast it all, Woody's here
Get load of that whistle blowin' (Woody's here)
That whistle is good to hear (Woody's here)
It's wanting you to be knowin' (Woody's here)
Dang blast it all, Woody's here (Woody's here)
Woody's here
Woody's here
Come on, everybody!
Spread the word, Henry
