Lyrics to
Tiny Montgomery

Here's more interesting things in songs and lyrics tied to Bob Dylan or about the 1970s in general.

Well, you can tell everybody
Down in ol’ Frisco
Tell ’em
Tiny Montgomery says hello.

Now, every boy and girl’s
Gonna get their bang
‘Cause Tiny Montgomery’s
Gonna shake that thing
Tell everybody
Down in ol’ Frisco
That Tiny Montgomery’s comin’
Down to say hello.

Skinny Moo and Halftrack Frank
They’re gonna both be gettin
Outta the tank
One bird book
And a buzzard and a crow,
Tell ’em all
That Tiny’s gonna say hello.

Scratch your dad
Do that bird
Suck that pig
And bring it on home
Pick that drip
And nose that dope
Tell ’em all
That Tiny says hello.

Now, he’s king of the drunks
An’ he squeezes, too
Watch out, Lester
Take it Lou
Join the monks
The C.I.O,
Tell ’em all
That Tiny Montgomery says hello.
Now grease that pig
And sing praise
Go on out
And gas that dog
Trick on in
Honk that stink
Take it down
And watch it grow
Play it low
And pick it up
Take it on in
In a plucking cup
Three-legged man
And a hot-lipped hoe
Tell ’em all
Montgomery says hello.

Well, you can tell ev’rybody
Down in ol’ Frisco
Tell ’em all
Montgomery says hello.
