Folks are dumb where I come from, 
They ain't had any learning. 
Still they're happy as can be 
Doin' what comes naturally (doin' what comes naturally). 
Folks like us could never fuss 
With schools and books and learning. 
Still we've gone from A to Z, 
Doin' what comes naturally (doin' what comes naturally) 
You don't have to know how to read or write 
When you're out with a feller in the pale moonlight. 
You don't have to look in a book to find out 
What he thinks of the moon and what is on his mind. 
That comes naturally (that comes naturally).
My uncle out in Texas can't even write his name. 
He signs his checks with ""x's"" 
But they cash them just the same. 
If you saw my pa and ma, 
You'd know they had no learning, 
Still they've raised a family 
Doin' what comes naturally (doin' what comes naturally) 
Cousin Jack has never read an almanac on drinking
Still he's always on the spree
Doin' what comes naturally (doin' what comes naturally). 
Sister Sal who's musical has never had a lesson, 
Still she's learned to sing off-key
Doin' what comes naturally (doin' what comes naturally). 
You don't have to go a private school
Not to pick up a penny near a stubborn mule, 
You don't have to have a professor's dome 
Not to go for the honey when the bee's not home. 
That comes naturally (that comes naturally). 
My tiny baby brother, who's never read a book, 
Knows one sex from the other, 
All he had to do was look, 
Grandpa Bill is on the hill 
With someone he just married. 
There he is at ninety-three, 
Doin' what comes naturally (doin' what comes naturally).
