The High Desert Playboys - Papa Don't Try
Don't catch the covid from the cottonwoods
Don't catch the plagues from the pines
Don't catch the measles from the marigolds
Guess we oughta stay home tonight
Don't need malaise from the magnolias
Don't want the fever from the ferns
Don't look for the locusts in the leaf pile
You don't get a prize for your Concerns
Papa don't try
Says the porch is just fine
I got whiskey I got rye
In my quarantine
Don't get the chills from the crocuses
Don't catch the vapors from the vines
Don't cut your hands on the thorns of the roses
Papa says we're gonna be just fine
Don't get the rabies from the radishes
Watch for mange from the mesquites
Mamas gonna cry over your ashes
And Papas gonna pay for his deceits
Papa don't try
Says the porch is just fine
I got whiskey I got rye
In my quarantine
