"Ain't A-Hankerin'" lyrics

Bing Crosby & Rosemary Clooney Lyrics

"Ain't A-Hankerin'"

It's a mighty pretty evening for a barbeque
I brought my banjo out to plunk a bar or two
Moon is shining bright and there's a star or two
And I can smell the doughnuts and the pie

But I just
Ain't a-hankerin' for banjo plunkin'
Ain't a-hankerin' for pumpkin pie
Ain't a-hankerin' for doughnut dunkin'
There's something else entirely on my mind
Yes, there's something else entirely on my mind

And it ain't
Cotton pickin'
And it ain't
Berry pie
And it ain't
Eatin' chicken
Oh, there's something else entirely on my mind
Yes, there's something else entirely on my mind

Little frogs are honkin' at the fireflies
Reckon' it's a-time for me to harmonize
And when it comes to callin' hogs I win the prize
And I brought my dancing shoes to do a clog

But I just
Ain't a-hankerin' for soft shoe cloggin'
I ain't a-hankerin' to harmonize
I ain't a-hankerin' for a-hoggin' or a-froggin'
'Cause there's something else entirely on my mind
Yes, there's something else entirely on my mind

And it ain't
Turkey shooting
And it ain't
Catfish fry
And it ain't
Ragtime tootin'
Oh, there's something else entirely on my mind
Oh, there's something else entirely on my mind
Yes, there's something else entirely on my mind
