Play song video
Put 'em back
the way they wuz
oh, put 'em back the way they wuz.
They was dumb, they was heathen,
but at least they was breathin,
so whatever else you does,

Put 'em back the way they wuz!
Put 'em back [put em back]
The way they wuz [the way they wuz]
oh, put 'em back the way they wuz!

They was plumb unattractive,
but by gum, they was active,
so I beg you kindly 'cause,
put 'em back the way they wuz!

Put 'em back [put 'em back]
The way they wuz [they way they wuz]
oh, put 'em back the way they wuz!

They was not known for beauty,
but they sho done they duty,
and they made the boudior buzz!
Put 'em back the way they wuz!
They was long, lean, and lanky,
but they loved hanky-panky
they did things that outdone duz!
Put 'em back the way they wuz!
They wuz vile lookin' varments
wearing vile lookin' garments
but they knowed a his from huz...
put 'em back the way they wuz!

Put 'em back [put 'em back]
The way they wuz [they way they wuz]
oh, put 'em back the way they wuz!

They was no shakes as lovers,
but they warmed up the covers,
covered as they wuz with fuzz!

Put 'em back the way they wuz!
