Lyrics
[Verse]
In a honky-tonk down the road, where the neon lights do shine,
Me and my buddies gather 'round, to have ourselves a time,
Joe says "pull my finger," with a sly ol' country grin,
The silence was a warning for the trouble stewing in.
[Verse 2]
Billy's got that look again, like he's about to start,
He lets out a burp so loud, it echoes through the bar,
Lucy starts a-laughin', she says, "You boys are just like kids,"
But then she joined the contest, and well, that's how it is.
[Chorus]
Silent but deadly, that's how we like to play,
Fartin' 'neath the table, in a humorous sort of way,
Burps and gassy breezes, we compete without regret,
Just a bunch of country folks, and a night we won't forget.
[Verse 3]
Sally says “I’m up next,” with a mischievous little wink,
Sneaks one out so potent, it about makes the whole place sink,
Everyone's a-wavin', tryin' to clear the air,
But Sally's grinnin' proudly, like she won the county fair.
[Verse 4]
Jimmy tries to one-up, with a burp 'bout twice his size,
Stands up on a barstool, gets a cheerin' from the guys,
Folks are hootin', hollerin', at the spectacle they see,
In this dusty ol' saloon, it's our rustic jamboree.
[Chorus]
Silent but deadly, that's how we like to play,
Fartin' 'neath the table, in a humorous sort of way,
Burps and gassy breezes, we compete without regret,
Just a bunch of country folks, and a night we won't forget.
