Hominy Grove - Van Dyke Parks

Off the wall wallflower

Now the dance has begun

It’s our shining hour 'til all our dancin' is done

Mammy Whammy Jammy cookin' up on a stove

For me and my Buttercup

Things have been lookin' up in Hominy Grove

Sweet Hominy!

You the wild wild flower

That my garden has grown

How I in your power

And you a rake on you own!

Hottentot Hot Toddy Cinnamon and a clove

For lovin' our lovin' cup

Things have been lookin' up

In Hominy Grove

Sweet Hominy!

Inst.

-

My whole heart’s affection

Would I lay at your feet

Why one man’s confection could be another man’s sweet?

Weave in my direction When the web has been woven

Stick us together like

Birds of a feather

Down in Hominy Grove

Sweet Hominy!
