Calico Lobster and Language


I could teach you to talk like a Mainer
but it's the words I'd choose,
that aren't allowed on here, so it's a no brainer,
but I will tell you some, there ain't too much to lose.

 Say "by the living (omit), I'll tell you somethin' Bub,
you know that (omit) Norman, well he's just a (omit) (omit)
and that (omit) useless son of his, well I'll tell you what,
every time he opens up his mouth, it's nothin' but smut.

 Now I could keep on going, but you get the idea,
that old time guys like me ain't got much to say;
no we can't talk like that no more around here,
and when they let us do it, well that'll be the day!
