Trenchmouth Lyrics
Yeah, he was a big landowner.
He was a bad mouthbreather.
But you can see his station wagon stand alone.
Woulda, coulda, we should have known.
He was a failed cropduster.
I am his little sister.
He was a whistleblower for the F.D.A.
Maybe was them sent him away.
He was a football player.
He didn't have a lot to say.
That guy's a lousy actor.
He was a hard-core cracker.
He wore a trenchcoat and he waved a Dixie flag.
But he's my brother, so I brag.
Don't be no dark naysayer.
So they all said he was a fag.
He had a really big TrenchMouth
When we were living way down South.
He had a really big TrenchMouth.
It's on the edge of nowhere.
No way for them to go there.
I know I'm not much help, but here is where I'll stay.
I'm hoping they'll find him some day.
I should put up some flyers.
Can you think of another way?
He had a really big TrenchMouth
When we were living way down South.
Then he up and disappeared.
He just left his car up here.
He had a really big TrenchMouth
When we were living way down South.
He had a really big TrenchMouth.
Nobody seems to know why he
Would disappear just leaving me here.
On a dirty hill for all time
Me and the pine tree that I stand behind.
He had a really big TrenchMouth
When we were living way down South.
He had a really big TrenchMouth.
He was a bad mouthbreather.
But you can see his station wagon stand alone.
Woulda, coulda, we should have known.
I am his little sister.
He was a whistleblower for the F.D.A.
Maybe was them sent him away.
He was a football player.
He didn't have a lot to say.
He was a hard-core cracker.
He wore a trenchcoat and he waved a Dixie flag.
But he's my brother, so I brag.
Don't be no dark naysayer.
So they all said he was a fag.
When we were living way down South.
He had a really big TrenchMouth.
No way for them to go there.
I know I'm not much help, but here is where I'll stay.
I'm hoping they'll find him some day.
I should put up some flyers.

Me and the pine tree that I stand behind.
When we were living way down South.

This is quoted from Porcy and Melly's Rasputina site at http://www.members.tripod.com/~corset_strings/rasputina/sitemap.htm"Before people had pewter plates, they had trenchers - a piece of wood with the middle scooped out like a bowl. Trenchers were never washed and a lot of times worms got into the wood. After eating off wormytrenchers, they would get "trench mouth."
Trench mouth is actually a gum infection, that appeared in the early 1900's. It's scientific name is Vincent's Angina or Infection after the french bacteriologist Jean Hyacinthe Vincent. Vincent's Infection, which appeared around 1922 is a progressive painful disease of the mouth that is marked esp. by dirty gray ulceration of the mucous membranes, spontaneous hemorrhaging of the gums, and a foul odor to the breath and that is associated with the presence of large numbers of a bacillus and a spirochete in the lesions.
Whatever that means."
Yay, my username is [obviously] from this song.
