[Richard Kimball]

It comes from here:

Now old Dan Tucker's fine old man
Washed his face in a fryin' pan
Combed his head with a wagon wheel
And died with a toothache in his heel

Get out of the way old Dan Tucker
Get out of the way old Dan Tucker
Get out of the way old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper

Now old Dan Tucker is come to town
Riding a billy goat leading a hound
Hound dog bark and the billy goat jump
Landed Dan Tucker on top of the stump

Now old Dan Tucker he got drunk
Fell in the fire and kicked up a chunk
Red hot coal got in his shoe
And oh my lawd how the ashes flew

Now old Dan Tucker is come to town
Swinging the ladies round and round
First to the right and then to the left
Then to the girl that he loves best

[Samwise]

You're a genius! Yes, that's where Dad got it. We had to sing that in school, too.

Get out of the way old Dan Tucker
You're too late to get your supper
Supper's over and breakfast's cooking
Old Dan Tucker just stand there looking

[agrace]

Richard Kimball, you are AWESOME! And thanks for the ping, Samwise.

I did not realize that Old Dan Tucker was an actual song..I remember when watching 'Little House on the Prairie', in the beginning, when the Ingalls family first met Mr. French, that Mr. French always used to sing that song to amuse the Ingalls girls...I thought it was just some song made up, strictly for that TV program...thanks for the verses, and chorus...
