Jon Johnson Song
Use as thick a 'Norwegian Ole and Sven' type accent as you can.
Just keeping singing it as long as everyone can stand.
Just keeping singing it as long as everyone can stand.
Lyrics:
My name is Jon Johnson,
I come from Wisconsin.
I work in the lumberyard there.
When I walk down the street,
All the people I meet
Say, "Hey, What's your name?"
And I tell 'em:
[Repeat]
I come from Wisconsin.
I work in the lumberyard there.
When I walk down the street,
All the people I meet
Say, "Hey, What's your name?"
And I tell 'em:
[Repeat]

This is good! I do think that it should say:
My name is Jon Johnson I come from
Wisconsin and I work in the lumberyards there
and the people I meet when I go down the
street say, " what's your name AND where do
you come from and I say so on so on I feel
like there should be " where do you come from
" because it does say where he comes from
also what do you do is a good one cause it
says he worked in the lumberyards there.
Other than that awesome 😎

@PB22 - a good thing about ancient tunes like this is that you can change them however you like. :-) (and there are different versions of this one) The origins are not absolutely known, but might have been from an 1890 play. Anyway, a recording by Carl Sandburg in 1959 is the oldest I could find... Youtube.
