From “The Ballad of Davy Crewcut” (vernacular parody; mid-1950s; still current in mid-1960s):
Born on a tabletop in Joe’s Cafe Dirtiest place in the USA Killed his ma when he was only three Now he’s in the penitentiary
Variant line:
Killed in a bar when he was only three
Gratitude abounding to anyone who can fill in the missing line of the variant version:
Da da da dee dee dee dee dee dee Killed in a bar when he was only three
Ricky Cameron?
“Born on a tabletop in Joe’s Cafe, Stupidest kind in the USA, Drowned his mother in a cup of tea, Shot his father with a .303,
Daveee, Davy Crewcut, King of his own back yard!
That 2nd line should be “Stupidest kid in the USA”
