Goober Peas
(This is Boneyard's rendition of "Goober Peas", a traditional folk song that was popular with Confederate soldiers during the American Civil War.
General make'em babies cry... errr Boneyard am mistaked. Am meaning General make me am Boneyard cry like babies with flowery speaches... Mmmmm speaches... Mmmmm peaches... Mmmmm PEAS!!
Peas, peas, peas, peas
Eating goober peas
Goodness how delicious
Eating goober peas.
Sitting by the roadside on a summer's day
Chatting with my mess-mates passing time away
Lying in the shadows underneath the trees
Goodness how delicious eating goober peas.
Peas, peas, peas, peas
Eating goober peas
Goodness how delicious
Eating goober peas.
(Doctor Steel joins in the chorus.)
When a horse-man passes, the soldiers have a rule
To cry out their loudest, 'Mister, here's your mule?'
But another custom, enchanting-er than these
Is wearing out your grinders, eating goober peas.
Peas, peas, peas, peas
Eating goober peas
Goodness how delicious
Eating goober peas.
(Doctor Steel joins in the chorus, and motions for other members of the Band of Steel to do so as well. Madame Shade just snorts and rolls her eyes, but Joe joins in. He has a very plesant baritone.)
Just before the battle, the General hears a row
He says 'The Yanks are coming, I hear their rifles now.'
He looks down the roadway and what d'you think he sees?
The Georgia Militia cracking goober peas.
Peas, peas, peas, peas
Eating goober peas
Goodness how delicious
Eating goober peas.
(Doctor Steel tries to get reluctant members of the Band of Steel to join in.)
I think my song has lasted just about enough.
The subject's interesting but the rhymes are mighty rough.
I wish the war was over so free from rags and fleas
We'd kiss our wives and sweethearts, say good-bye to goober peas.
Peas, peas, peas, peas
Eating goober peas
Goodness how delicious
Eating goober peas.
(Doctor Steel and several hastily constructed robots all join together in the chorus, along with any members of the Band of Steel he has convinced to join as well.)
Boneyard am liking Peas...
(Doctor Steel and his robots clap and cheer).
