Puddin' Head Jones (Rerecorded) - Don Redman & His Orchestra
There was a most peculiar kid in our town
Was always late for school
He never learned to tell a verb from a noun
And always broke the rules
Though they looked upon him as a clown
Yet he wasn't such a fool
Oh Puddin' head Jones was fat and funny
Dumber than sticks and stones
That is just why the kids all called him
Wooden head puddin' head Jones
He couldn't spell constantinople
Didn't know beans from bones
Pencils and books were never made for
Wooden head puddin' head Jones
Teacher told his mother she would take him right in hand
And teach him a thing or two
Like his older brother he began to understand
He learned everything that she ever knew
All of the kids to the teacher carried
Candy and ice cream cones
But who do you think the teacher married
Wooden head puddin' head Jones
