Lyrics Doin' What Comes Natur'lly - Studio Cast Recording

Folks are dumb where I come from
They ain't had any learnin'
Still they're happy as can be
Doin' what comes naturally
Folks like us could never fuss
With school and books and learnin'
Still we've gone from A to Z
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
What he thinks of the moon or what is on his mind
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 learnin'
Still they raised their family
Doin' what comes naturally

Cousin Jack insured his shack
And now he plays with matches
He'll collect, just wait and see
A-doin' what comes naturally
Sister Sal who's musical
Has never had a lesson
Still she's learned to sing off-key
A-doin' what comes naturally

You don't have to go to a private school
Not to turn up your bustle to a stubborn mule
You don't have to have a professor's dome
Not to go for the honey when the bee's at home
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 lives on the hill
With someone he just married
There he is at ninety-three
A-doin' what comes naturally
A-doin' what comes naturally
