You know old Jethro, he went crazy Course we've all been crazy some time They fixed up his lungs and his fever But they couldn't fix up his mind He had married a beautiful redhead Of women they say she's a pearl She gave her heart to Jethro And her body to the whole damn world Now Jethro, he had someone he could talk to They were monsters and little green men He never talked much to his woman He just spent all his time with his friends In the evenings she'd drive off and leave him She'd toss back her long, pretty curls She gave her heart to Jethro And her body to the whole damn world Her friends all begged her to leave him They said Jethro, he belongs in a home She said, "My heart is Jethro's But my God-given body, that's my own" Now some of her lovers were strangers She gave everybody a whirl She gave her heart to Jethro And her body to the whole damn world She gave her heart to old Jethro And her body to the whole damn world
