Huckleberry Finn Composer(s): Sam. M. Lewis; Joe Young; Cliff Hess
There was a rascal, in the town where I came from The people thought that he was dumb Because he couldn't do a sum That's why they nicknamed him, "Huckleberry Finn" But he believed in fun, laughed at every one How I wish I were him
They tried to teach him how to do arithmetic But he just whittled on a stick And said the figures made him sick "Add-in' and countin', don't mean a thing to me When I begin to earn Then I'll start to learn How to count it," said he
Huckleberry Finn If I were Huckleberry Finn I'd do the things he did I'd be a kid again You'd always find me out fishin', beside a shady pool Wishin', there never was a school If I were only, Huckleberry Finn In every mischief I'd be in And on my freckled face you'd always find a grin I wouldn't put my shoes or stockings on for any man And all I'd ever wear would be a coat of tan If I were Huckleberry Finn
