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?
