“ELIJAH” (sung to “Kaw-Liga was a wooden indian”)
Elijah was a lonely congressman standing by the door
He fell in love with an IRS maiden over in the Treasury store
Elijah - just stood there and never let it show
So she could never answer “YES” or “NO”.
[Chorus:]
Poor ol’ Elijah, he never got a kiss
Poor ol’ Elijah, he don’t know what he missed
Is it any wonder that his face is sad
Elijah, that poor ol’ man’s been bad.
Elijah was a lonely congressman never went nowhere
His heart was set on the IRS maiden with the coal black hair
Elijah - just stood there and never let it show
So she could never answer “YES” or “NO”.
(apologies to Hank Williams and Charlie Pride)
Well done.
