To see the frog eat the goggle eye 
bee
To hear that west wind whistle to 
the east
There ain't nobody that can sing 
like me

Way over yonder where the wind blows

And laid it on the she and me
It stung lots worse than a hive of 
bees
But there ain't nobody that can sing
 like me

Now I have walked a long long ways
And I still look back to my 
tanglewood days
I've led lots of girls since then to
 stray
Saying, ain't nobody that can sing 
like me.
