The Hollidaysburg Hillbilly

A Song of “Carl the Unwashed”

Sung to the tune of The Beverly Hillbillies

 

Let me tell you all about a man named Carl

Stunk so bad that it made his kinfolk snarl

He lurched through the kitchen snarfin up the food

And his hair looked matted, as if with bubblin’ crude

 

The next thing ya know ol’ Carl’s a thousandaire

His kinfolk said, “Why don’t ya wash yer hair?!”

His ass-crack’s filthy, and it really oughtn’t be

His kinfolk said, “Just move to Tennessee!”

 

His armpits serve its own awful function

He lifts up his arms, and his victims’ cry for unction!

His shoes get up and walk away from there

And his dirty socks curl up underneath the chair.

 

[Black undies . . . Yellow teeth. . .]

 

Soap and water just aren’t friends of his’n

So he smells like he just finished a’ shit & pissin’

His kinfolks say “someone out to give him a scrub

But no one volunteers – he’s such a filthy grub

 

Preachers on TV say there ain’t no evolution

But kinsfolk ask “Why’s Carl a-devolution’?”

 

The kinfolk say to run naked as a jay

Into the carwash and into the hot wax bay.

Or take him to Laundromat and stick him in the dryer

If he begs for mercy, just turn the temp up higher!
