Doin What Comes Naturally lyrics

ANNIE OAKLEY and FEMALE CHORUS:
Folks are dumb where I come from,
They ain`t had any learning.
Still they`re happy as can be
Doin` what comes naturally (doin` what comes naturally).
Folks like us could never fuss
With schools and books and learning.
Still we`ve gone from A to Z,
Doin` what comes naturally (doin` what comes naturally)
You don`t have to know how to read or write
When you`re out with a feller in the pale moonlight.
You don`t have to look in a book to find out
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 them just the same.
If you saw my pa and ma,
You`d know they had no learning,
Still they`ve raised a family
Doin` what comes naturally (doin` what comes naturally)
Cousin Jack has never read an almanac on drinking
Still he`s always on the spree
Doin` what comes naturally (doin` what comes naturally).
Sister Sal who`s musical has never had a lesson,
Still she`s learned to sing off-key
Doin` what comes naturally (doin` what comes naturally).
You don`t have to go 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 not 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 is on the hill
With someone he just married.
There he is at ninety-three,
Doin` what comes naturally (doin` what comes naturally
