Sassafras

Well, way down yonder in the tall grass

A little, little woman named Sassafras

Had a wiggle in her walk and a tickle in her talk

And a ponytail puttin' on the class

They say white lightning's in a jar

Clear like-a water but it's hot as fire

Well, it may be true but I'm gonna tell you

Glass won't hold Sassafras

So, tell the neighborhood boys

I'm the one makin' all the noise

For a little cup of tea

Melt the heart out of me

That cup of tea was Sassafras

I took Sassafras to the swimmin' hole

I kissed her in the water and dontcha know

The steam rose high as a cloud in the sky

And the old swimmin' hole went dry

Next day she kissed me in the city park

Bells started ringin', and it got dark

Well, the army and the navy couldn't keep folks calm

They thought it was a hydrogen bomb

So, tell the neighborhood boys

I'm the one makin' all the noise

For a little cup of tea

Melt the heart out of me

And that cup of tea was Sassafras

I'm mighty sorry but I gotta go now

Me and my honey gonna take a vow

We're gonna get married and have a family

Feed 'em on Sassafras tea

So, tell the neighborhood boys

I'm the one makin' all the noise

For a little cup of tea

Melt the heart out of me

And that cup of tea was Sassafras

That cup of tea was Sassafras

That cup of tea was Sassafras
