Wedding Announcement

Mr. and Mrs. Zeke Haygood, of Stewart Gin Rd., proudly announce the marriage of their daughter to their son. The ceremony was held on the Haygood farm and featured the music of The Drovers Old Time Medicine Show and lots of good food like pig's feet, cornpone and sorghum. The new bride said she knew she'd marry her brother "just like daddy married his sister".

The newlyweds honeymooned in Cateechie where they arm wrestled and swam in the PCB filled waters.

The band's new single is titled "Buddy Hackett's Got The Gout". Below are the lyrics to their new single.

Well, he woke up with a sore big toe from the green room catering at the Carson show

Buddy Hacket's got the gout

He missed two days shooting the Love Bug because of uric acid buildup

Buddy Hacket's got the gout

(Chorus)

When we get to the end there'll be no doubt

        What this song's all about

        All the little kiddies are gonna jump and shout

        "Buddy Hackett's got the gout!"

        He swore he'd never do it again but now he's at deli in Brooklyn

        Buddy Hackett's got the gout!

He paid a $2 toll to cross the East River, now he's sittin' in front of a plate of chopped liver

Buddy Hackett's got the gout

When he'd play the Sahara for weeks on end, he'd go back east on a chopped liver binge

Buddy Hackett's got the gout

(Chorus)

From the Vegas Strip to the Catskills to the Dean Martin Roasts where he always killed

Buddy Hackett's got the gout

He limped so bad they had to help him to his chair every time he played the Hollywood Squares

Buddy Hackett's got the gout

(chorus)

Ting me a tong!
