Old Dan Tucker’s a happy old soul
Picked his teeth with a telegraph pole
Had a little cough then he coughed some more
Coughed his tonsils onto the floor.

Old Dan was down on his knees
When he thought he heard a chicken sneeze
It was just an old rooster saying his prayers
Telling his love to the hens upstairs

Old Dan Tucker come to town
Swinging the ladies round and round
First to the right and then to the left
Then to the one that you love best

Old Dan Tucker’s a fine old man
Washed his face in a frying pan
Combed his hair with a wagon wheel
Died with a toothache in his heel.

Chorus:
Get out the way Old Dan Tucker
You’re to late to come for supper
Supper’s over and dinner’s cookin’
Old Dan Tucker just stands there lookin’.

Old Dan Tucker’s ten feet tall
sleeps in the kitchen with his feet in the hall
He’s got a brother who’s three foot two
Sleeps inside a worn out shoe.
