The Hombres were from the Memphis area (Bill Cunningham's brother was in
the Box Tops), but it was Texas/Louisiana legend Huey P. Meaux who produced
this weird cross between 'Gloria' and 'Subterranean Homesick Blues' which
made it to #12 in November, 1967.
The spoken intro, BTW, is taken from the 1949 novelty record 'Cigareetes,
Whuskey, and Wild, Wild Women' by Red Ingle and the Natural Seven. -- AWR
"Let It Out (Let It All Hang Out)"
(Bill Cunningham)

on John Barleycorn, nicotine, and the temptations of Eve"

No parkin' by the sewer sign
Hot dog, my razor's broke
Water drippin' up the spout
But I don't care, let it all hang out
Verse 2:
Hangin' from a pine tree by my knees
Sun is shinin' through the shade
Nobody knows what it's all about,
It's too much, man, let it all hang out

Verse 3:
Saw a man walkin' upside down
My T.V.'s on the blink
Made Galileo look like a Boy Scout
Sorry 'bout that, let it all hang out
Verse 4:
Sleep all day, drive all night
Brain my numb, can't stop now
For sure ain't no doubt
Keep an open mind, let it all hang out
[repeat break]
Verse 5:
It's rainin' inside a big brown moon
How does that mess you baby up, leg
Eatin' a Reuben sandwich with sauerkraut
Don't stop now, baby, let it all hang out
Coda:
Let it all hang out (harmonized) [repeat to fade]
