P as in potato S - L - U - F - F   Was a man who lived in Idaho   Far away from all the rest {of the world}   He had a beautiful farm   With a chicken and a cow and a horse   And lots of 78 records   In the barn of course   And every Sunday night   People gathered there   To dance while Mr P. Sluff called   From his rockin chair   He'd turn em to the left   Turn em to the right   But most of all he liked to   Rock em back and forth   Mr. P. Sluff rocked em back and forth   While rocking back and forth   Mr. P. Sluff rocked em back and forth   From his rockin chair   Now when he was a baby, P   Loved to be picked up   Especially when he was rocked   Back and forth by Mrs. Sluff   They named him Patrick Allen   But they called him P for short   Cause the first sound that he made was   “Puh” with a little snort   When he grew to seven   Kids would make fun of his name   But it didn’t bother him a bit   He liked it just the same   Cause it was the first letter of his   Favorite word “please”   And pick me up and rock me back and forth   Mr. P. Sluff rocked em back and forth   While rocking back and forth   Mr. P. Sluff rocked em back and forth   From his rockin chair   Turn to the left   Turn to the right   Yella wella helly welly are ya   When your baby's outasight   Doe-see-doe on down the line   And then you come back again   And don't forget to rock it back and forth   Now P. Sluff was an old man   All of eighty-four   But happy as a swing set when   He's rockin back and forth   But the day came when he died everybody cried   And gathered in the barn   On Sunday night to say goodbye   Then they put a record on   They all knew the steps   And they did a special curtsy   To P's old rockin chair   Then it began to rock gently back and forth   And gradually it rocked more and more and more   Mr. P. Sluff rocked em back and forth   While rocking back and forth   Mr. P. Sluff rocked em back and forth
