Lyrics[]
Jerry: In a cavern, in a canyon
We were going for a hike
And we set out for the mountain
By the morning's early light
Jerry and Kids: With my brother, with my brother
With my brother Jimmy Gourd
And I set out in the morning
With my brother Jimmy Gourd
Jimmy: That's right! But let me tell the rest of the story.
Jerry: Oh, must you?
Jimmy: Ahem! We went walking, we went climbing
All the long the rugged trail
But we didn't travel far 'cause
Jerry's slower than a snail
Jimmy and Kids: Oh my brother, oh my brother
Oh my brother Jerry Gourd
You are slower than a snail
Oh my brother Jerry Gourd
Yup. It's true.
Jerry: Mm. You're no cheetah.
I was tired and I was thirsty
So I stopped to have a snack
I pulled out a purple slushy
That was melting in my pack
Jerry and Kids: Oh my brother, oh my brother
Oh my brother Jimmy Gourd
I was thirsty for my slushy
Don't be jealous Jimmy Gourd
Jimmy: You can keep the slushy as far as I care!
Jerry: What? Why are you so hostile?
I'd kept hiking, through the holler
Just as fast as I could go
But I left behind my brother
And my heart was filled with woe
Jimmy and Kids: Oh my brother, oh my brother
Oh my brother Jerry Gourd
I had lost you in the holler
Oh where are you Jerry Gourd?
Jerry: I was tired and thirsty, and you kept on walking.
Jimmy: Then I heard an awful slurping
It was such a dreadful sound
And I ran to save my brother
From the danger that he had found
Jerry: Oh my brother, oh my brother (Jimmy: Oh, brother!)
Oh my brother Jimmy Gourd (Where art thou?)
It was just my purple slushy
Not a bear or a wild bore
Jimmy and Kids: Oh my brother,
Jimmy, Jerry, and Kids: Oh my brother
Oh my brother Jimmy/Jerry Gourd
We will always stick together
Oh my brother Jimmy/Jerry Gourd
Jimmy and Jerry: Oh my brother Jimmy/Jerry Gourd
Jerry: I-i-it's not that I'm slow. It's..I'm just cautious.
Jimmy: Good to see you again. Can I have some of that slushy?
