"Riddle & Rhyme" lyrics - THE OKEE DOKEE BROTHERS

When you're hungry and you're brittle
And there's little on the griddle
It'll whittle out your middle in time
So you take out your fiddle
And you twiddle up a diddle
And sing a little riddle and rhyme

Little riddle and rhyme for your time on the trail
Little riddle and rhyme for your ride on the rail
Little riddle and rhyme for a tellin' your tale
A little riddle and rhyme

When you peddle for some metal
And you settle on a kettle
That'll level and dishevel your dime
Then leave the nettle for the rebel
And that rebel for the devil
And just bring a little pebble and pine

Little riddle and rhyme for your time on the trail
Little riddle and rhyme for your ride on the rail
Little riddle and rhyme for a tellin' your tale
A little riddle and rhyme

When you're sittin' on a thistle
And you're sizzlin' some gristle
This'll turn your little drizzle to shine
Have a sarsaparizzle fizzle
Kiss a little in the bristle
And take little whistle'n time

Little riddle and rhyme for your time on the trail
Little riddle and rhyme for your ride on the rail
Little riddle and rhyme for a tellin' your tale
A little riddle and rhyme

Little riddle and rhyme for your time on the trail
Little riddle and rhyme for your ride on the rail
Little riddle and rhyme for a tellin' your tale
A little riddle and rhyme
