Off the wall wallflower
Now the dance has begun
It's our shining hour 'til all our dancin' is done
Mammy Whammy Jammy cookin' up on a stove
For me and my Buttercup
Things have been lookin' up in Hominy Grove.
Sweet Hominy!
You the wild wild flower
that my garden has grown
How I in your power
And you a rake on you own!
Hottentot Hot Toddy Cinnamon and a clove
For lovin' our lovin' cup
Things have been lookin' up
In HOMINY GROVE.
Sweet Hominy!
Inst. -
My whole heart's affection
Would I lay at your feet
Why one man's confection could be another man's sweet?
Weave in my direction When the web has been woven
Stick us together like
Birds of a feather.
Down in HOMINY GROVE.
Sweet Hominy!
