The Pump Song Lyrics

A monkey may look like a man

But still a monkey ain't

A homely girl may look real cute

Behind a coat of paint



Don't let the outside surface

Mean anything to you

My father was a traveling man

That's how I know it's true



It's hard to tell the depth of a well

By the length of the handle on the pump



It's hard to gage a camel's age

By the curl of the hair upon his hump



A girlie who may promise to be true

To you may be true to you and who knows who, do you?



It's hard to tell the depth of a well

By the length of the handle on the pump
